CarPro CQuartz SiC and DQuartz nano-diamond formulas. Professional installation with paint correction prep included. Protection against UV oxidation, caliche abrasion, and hard water etching.
263+ sunny days, UV Index 10+ in summer. Ceramic blocks UV at the surface — preventing the dull, chalky oxidation that plagues unprotected West Texas paint within 3–5 years.
Agricultural caliche from the South Plains zone abrades unprotected clear coat. Ceramic adds 9H surface hardness — significantly more resistant to caliche micro-scratching than bare paint.
Lubbock's mineral-heavy water etches into clear coat when it evaporates. Ceramic's hydrophobic surface causes water to sheet off rather than sit and evaporate — eliminating the mechanism that causes water spot etching.
Iron particles from surrounding agricultural operations embed in paint. After we remove existing iron contamination during coating prep, the sealed ceramic surface prevents new particles from bonding.
Lubbock summer interiors hit 150°F+ with 40–50°F daily swings. Ceramic is chemically cross-linked to the clear coat — it flexes with paint through thermal expansion without delaminating like wax.
Bird droppings, agricultural chemical overspray, and alkaline irrigation water all attack unprotected paint. Ceramic's chemical resistance prevents penetration within the coating's reaction window.
Every installation includes full paint decontamination, clay bar treatment, and machine polish before the first ceramic layer. We use CarPro coatings at every tier — CQuartz SiC silicon-carbide on the 2-year, DQuartz nano-diamond on the 5-year, and DQuartz finished with Gliss topcoat on the 10-year. We will not coat a vehicle over uncorrected paint defects.
UV protection: built-in inhibitors prevent clear-coat oxidation through Lubbock's 263+ sunny days a year. Hard water resistance: the hydrophobic surface sheets water off before mineral-heavy water can etch spots into the paint. Dust deflection: caliche dust struggles to bond to the slick surface, so dust storms rinse off instead of grinding in. Chemical shielding: bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap sit on the coating's sacrificial layer instead of etching your clear coat.
Hand wash or touchless only with a pH-neutral shampoo — never a spinning-brush automatic wash. Use the two-bucket method with clean microfiber. Schedule a maintenance visit every 4–6 months for coating-safe decontamination and a topcoat refresh — or let a Club membership handle it on schedule.
2-year Essential from $799 sedan. 5-year Premium from $1,299 sedan. 10-year Elite from $1,899 sedan. SUVs and trucks are priced higher — contact us with your specific vehicle for an accurate quote.
Yes. Ceramic's 9H hardness rating makes the surface significantly more resistant to caliche micro-abrasion than bare clear coat. Combined with proper two-bucket grit-guard washing technique, it's the most complete protection available for Lubbock's environment.
Always. Any swirl marks or scratches present when the coating is applied are sealed in permanently. Every package includes machine polish prep — and we will not coat a vehicle with significant defects without correcting them first.
Our 2-year delivers 18–24 months. Our 5-year delivers 4–6 years. Our 10-year Elite delivers 8–10+ years with annual SiO2 maintenance. Lubbock's high UV reduces longevity compared to manufacturer specs for temperate climates — we're honest about this upfront.
SiO2 is our 2-year formula — solid UV protection and hydrophobic properties. Silicon Carbide (SiC) is our 5-year formula — harder, more scratch-resistant, longer-lasting. For Lubbock's caliche environment, we generally recommend the SiC 5-year minimum for daily-driven vehicles.
pH-neutral soap only, two-bucket grit-guard hand wash, no automatic brush car washes ever. No dish soap or alkaline cleaners. 7-day curing period after installation with no water contact. We provide complete written aftercare documentation at pickup.
