CQuartz Finest Reserve is a professional-only coating that earns perfect scores in visual appeal, hydrophobicity (107.3 degree contact angle), and durability, making it an impressive performer in those categories. Its specular reflectivity reading of 89.7 GU represents a small gain over bare paint, a result many coatings fail to achieve.
The biggest weakness is slickness, scoring 0/10 with a friction coefficient of 0.32, so pairing it with a slick topper is worth considering. Best suited for professional detailers or serious enthusiasts who prioritize long-term protection and appearance over application simplicity and cost of professional installation.
