    Hi guys,

    What do most of you use to hand wash, do you use 50% glass cleaner?

    Does anyone have any experience with quartz?

    Thanks

    I had my entire car wrapped. Every painted surface.

    I use microfiber mitt and diluted car soap.

    Dry with two large towels from microfiber waffle weave.

    Then I use Chemical guys high gloss spray sealant

    I use rainX on glass.

    I use a flat black on tires.

    I think it looks best if I take the time to really clean the rims and brakes.

    My car is TdF Blu. I think its easier to stay clean then black or white.

    I love to drive when its looking great.

    I drive it almost daily.

    Good luck

    Cquartz is a line of Carpro's ceramic coating. Maybe he was suggesting you have the car coated or use one of their spray sealants like Reload

    I have heard you can do both, but I would not. Just my opinion. If xpel is self healing it moves, expands and contracts with temperature.

    Quartz on your rims - sure.
