CQuartz'ed my M235i

Picked up my baby a week ago and decided I want to keep her shiny and new.
Out of the dealer there were some imperfections and some swirls that bothered me. So a friend recommended Franki and Greg at signaturedetailing in NJ. So I gave them a chance, also, they work with Lee Berbs who does amazing tints. I'm sure people in the NJ area knows who Lee is. Car is tinted with 45% Winco IR's. Full detail done and everything on the car was CQuartz. These guys does amazing job. I am so happy with how my baby looks like now.

I'm generally not a fan of tints, but yours are really well done and look good with the colour.

I was researching Cquatz and Opticoat. While opticoat is slightly more durable and last a little longer it doesn't shine and water bead like Cquartz.

What convinced me is that the guys dried out a bottle of Cquartz it formed crystal like rocks.

So far I had a bugs and bird poop on the car which I wiped of with ease.
The shine is amazing, kinda want it to rain to see how the water reactes to it.

The tints is actually 45%. Does look 30%.
Likely due to the dark interior.

I got 30% on mine. I hope it is not too dark, your looks good. At my dealer 30% is what they recommend to all new cars. My interior is red.

So far i had bird poop, bugs, and tar stuck to the car. I just use a detailer spray that I leave in the trunk with micro fiber towel to easily wipe away.
I have yet to wash the car yet cause it needs a little time to fully cure.
I hear the water beading is amazing.

Your car looks amazing! Thanks for the inspiration, I'm going to do the same. I hope to find a good shop here that can apply it properly.

I say do it, amazing shine, I drove in some crazy rain today, and i didn't even need to use my wipers. The windows was treated too. I also checked my hood and watch the water dance up to my windows. Remember, the key is not just the treatment, it's the prep.

I don't have auto dim feature, with the tints, I would believe the dimmer will not have to work.
