Meet CQUARTZ’s toughest companion DQUARTZ: a functionalised nano-diamond ceramic coating.

In the pursuit of perfection, we have developed a truly innovative formula based on a siloxane nano-diamond fusion and a proprietary silicon resin, which make DQUARTZ the first ever coating to offer mechanical resistance to swirls and scratches.

DQUARTZ can be used as a standalone coating for automotive paint and will produce the same results when used on metals. Beyond the hardness improvements, it packs strong chemical and environmental resistances, as well as our greatest pride and joy: gloss and self-cleaning.

Nevertheless, during testing we have found DQUARTZ to truly excel as a base coating topped with CQUARTZ Professional, which increases hardness by an extra point on the pencil scale and brings CQ Professional’s outstanding performance into the mix.

DQUARTZ is available exclusively to certified installers, but we are already working on a consumer-grade version. So stay tuned.

Car paints are getting increasingly softer and we have finally developed a technology to combat it. DQUARTZ is the first ever ceramic coating, which utilises Functionalised Detonation Nano Diamond Powder to increase surface pencil hardness by up to 5 points!

 

The pencil test is a common method to measure the hardness of paints or coatings. Essentially it checks which standardised graphite (1H, HB, 1B, 2B, etc.) will be hard enough to scratch the surface. As always, we steer clear of the popular, yet physically impossible claims of extreme Mohs scale hardness, and giving you the real facts. If your paint has a rating of 1B, DQUARTZ will push it up 5 levels, going as high as 3H. Looking for ‘groundbreaking’? This is how it really looks like.

This incredible new technology is enabled by the carefully controlled size and spherical shape of our nano diamond particles in combination with their activated surface structures. This allows the diamonds to electrostatically bind to the other ingredients of the coating, as well as the surface itself. In essence, DQUARTZ isn’t just a regular ceramic coating with a cool additive known for hardness. Diamonds are an integral part of the DQUARTZ nanostructure.

*Exact hardness enhancement depends on the type of paint/surface. On extremely soft paints, we recommend using 2 layers of DQ topped with a layer of CQPro
