Frequently asked questions

Questions about CARPRO

When are IronX and TarX used separately?

IronX targets iron-bearing particles such as fallout, while TarX targets tar and oily residue. Each is selected for the contamination and material, rinsed completely and not treated as an interchangeable universal cleaner.

Why is Eraser used before applying CQUARTZ?

Eraser is used as a controlled panel wipe to reduce polishing oils and residue before coating. Clean, material-compatible preparation supports even bonding but does not replace prior paint correction.

What role does CQUARTZ UK play in a protection system?

CQUARTZ UK is a ceramic protection system for prepared paintwork. Layer application, temperature, flash time, curing and later maintenance must be planned as one connected process.

When is Spotless suitable for water spots?

Spotless is intended for suitable mineral deposits. The surface, existing protection and depth of the deposit are checked first because not every visible mark is purely superficial.

How do Reload and Hydro2 fit coating maintenance?

Reload and Hydro2 can serve as maintenance or spray protection depending on the existing system. AVP checks whether the product, substrate, layer sequence and desired hydrophobicity suit the current protection.
