CQuartz Pro-Level Packages (5 Years+)
- CQuartz Finest Reserve — flagship, installer-exclusive, very high gloss and durability; usually paired with heavier correction and longer shop time.
- CQuartz Professional — pro-only coating with multi-year durability when maintained and registered; what a lot of WI shops lead with.
- DQUARTZ / DQUARTZ Pro stack — CarPro’s nano-diamond approach many studios use under a CQuartz top coat to help with mar resistance on softer paint.
Shorter-term options were intentionally removed — this page is aimed at premium CQuartz / CarPro searches.
CQuartz Warranty — What It Actually Covers
Registration: the installer has to register the job on time. Keep the paperwork or VIN confirmation.
Care rules: touch/brush tunnels and harsh chemicals can shorten behavior and make claims difficult — same story across most pro coatings.
Typical remedy: re-treatment / re-application on affected areas, not full repainting.

Installation Quality — What a Good CQuartz Install Looks Like
Lighting: low-angle or raking light, not just a wall of white LEDs. That’s how you catch high spots and rainbowing.
Prep on new cars: wash → decon → prep/refinement polish (we don’t auto-bundle multi-stage correction because 95% of new deliveries don’t need it). If we do find delivery swirls, we show you and quote from here: paint correction deep dive.
QC: we re-check handles, mirrors, gloss-black pillars, hatch/bumper ledge — the zones where leveling is most often missed.
Maintenance cadence: 2–4 weeks depending on season, dry thoroughly, top glass annually, 2–3 years on other glass, rims/trim rarely need reapplication when washed correctly.
CQuartz Reviews — Real Owner Feedback
Positives: high gloss on delivery, easier cleaning, good durability when properly washed.
Negatives we see online: early-looking fade tied to wash method or contamination, and the occasional install done under poor lighting that left streaks.

These are our real local reviews — Appleton • Green Bay — so you can compare a CarPro-style install against what we actually deliver.
Cost of CQuartz vs. Our Current Packages
Hatley’s CQuartz pricing is higher because it includes heavier correction, wheels-off, glass, and a flagship CQuartz product. Our pricing is lower because we’re set up for newer Fox Valley / Green Bay vehicles that don’t always need all of that.
In our shop we typically install Undrdog professional coatings — that’s what lets us stay in the $875–$995 lane for paint and simply add +$400 for full exterior.
