The 10-year tier at Delicate Details is CarPro DQuartz + Gliss, from $1,899, and paint correction is mandatory with it. That is a technical requirement rather than an upsell: a coating locks in whatever is on the paint when it goes on. It suits someone who just bought a new truck or luxury vehicle and plans to keep it a decade. Applied in a temperature-controlled shop bay.
The 10-year CarPro DQuartz + Gliss is the flagship ceramic coating at Delicate Details — the highest-tier product we install, requiring the most thorough prep and delivering the highest level of protection available from professional ceramic coating technology. CarPro DQuartz + Gliss is not a marketing tier. It is a chemically distinct product with the highest SiO2 concentration in the CarPro lineup, applied at the greatest film thickness, and rated for a decade of durability in real-world conditions. For the right customer in Lubbock TX, it is the most sensible long-term investment in paint protection available.
CarPro DQuartz + Gliss is the top-tier professional ceramic coating from CarPro. It sits above both CQuartz SiC (2-year) and DQuartz (5-year) in SiO2 concentration, coating thickness, and rated durability. Quartz is not available at retail — it is a professional-installer product that requires rigorous surface preparation, mandatory paint correction, and temperature-controlled application conditions to perform as rated.
CarPro DQuartz + Gliss delivers:
The most common CarPro DQuartz + Gliss customer is someone who just purchased a new vehicle — a new Silverado, new Tundra, new Escalade, new F-150 Platinum — and plans to own it for the next 10 years or more. In Lubbock, this is not an unusual ownership pattern. Many South Plains truck owners keep vehicles for 10, 12, or 15 years. Applying CarPro DQuartz + Gliss on day one means the paint goes through the entire ownership period in the best-protected state available. At the 10-year mark, the vehicle's paint can be refreshed with a maintenance correction cycle and another Quartz application — and you're back to new.
Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, Genesis GV80, and Porsche Cayenne owners in Lubbock have vehicles with $70,000–$120,000+ price tags. On a $100,000 vehicle, a $1,899 investment for a decade of paint protection is a proportionally small number. These vehicles are typically kept in excellent condition, garaged, and detailed regularly — CarPro DQuartz + Gliss aligns with that level of care and elevates it. The coating protects paint that is worth protecting and makes the vehicle easier to maintain at the standard its owner expects.
Lubbock has an active classic car and truck community. Collector vehicles, weekend drivers, and show builds benefit from a 10-year coating because they often sit longer between washes, accumulate less mileage but more static UV exposure, and require the paint to look its absolute best when they're out. CarPro DQuartz + Gliss protects collector vehicles at the highest available level between shows and extended storage periods.
The long-term Lubbock truck owner — the person who buys a new King Ranch or Platinum F-150 or a new High Country Silverado and plans to drive it until the wheels come off — is an ideal CarPro DQuartz + Gliss customer. The coating investment averages $190 per year over a 10-year period, protects the paint through a decade of West Texas abuse, and preserves resale or trade-in value at the end of ownership better than any alternative.
Every CarPro DQuartz + Gliss installation at Delicate Details requires paint correction before coating — no exceptions. This is not a upsell. It is a technical requirement. CarPro DQuartz + Gliss is the highest-performance coating we apply, and it amplifies what is underneath it more than any other product in our lineup. A vehicle with swirl marks, water spot etching, or oxidation haze applied under Quartz will show those defects more clearly under certain lighting — locked in under a semi-permanent coating that cannot be polished out without removing the coating.
We will not apply CarPro DQuartz + Gliss without correction. The correction level depends on current paint condition:
The correction level is determined at inspection and quoted before any work begins.
A decade in West Texas is a genuine test of any protective coating. Over 10 years in Lubbock, a vehicle faces:
A vehicle that goes through 10 Lubbock summers unprotected will have visible UV oxidation, water spot etching, and paint dulling that requires significant correction work. A vehicle under CarPro DQuartz + Gliss, properly maintained with annual detailing visits, comes through 10 years with paint that is in dramatically better condition — protecting the investment you made when you bought the vehicle.

Book Now →Rated life assumes reasonable care. In West Texas — 300-plus sunny days, caliche dust, and mineral-heavy water — a garaged vehicle washed properly will reach its rating, while one parked outside and run through brush washes will not. Maintenance is the variable, not the product.
No. Coatings are measured in microns and provide chemical and UV protection, not impact resistance. Rock chips and road debris are a paint protection film question, not a coating one.
Decontamination is mandatory, because a coating seals in whatever is underneath it for years. Correction depends on the paint — if there are swirls, they get locked in. We inspect under proper lighting and tell you what it needs.
Ceramic coating runs $799 (2-year), $1,299 (5-year) and $1,899 (10-year) on a sedan; $899/$1,399/$2,299 on an SUV; $1,099/$1,499/$2,599 on a truck or large SUV. Full decontamination and a one-step correction are included in every package.
