I love this coating! I'm pretty new to the coating world, all I've used is Bullet Proof and wow, what a difference! Took me a few minutes to get it right but the vehicle came out great. I will try and get some pictures this weekend. Here's a shot I took tonight, few drops I placed in a bowl and allowed to cure. This stuff is just pretty to look at haha.

Now that is interesting. I have never seen anyone cure a coating like that and see the formed crystals. Really makes me want it now. I plan to try CQ on my ride when I get some time for TLC this spring.

Sent from my phone when I am supposed to be doing something else.

All together it formed about the size of a nickel when you piled it up. Some of the individual ones maybe the size of a pea. Very very cool. It did confuse a customer of mine though. The picture made him think that this is how it would break down over time. He asked me.."In 2-3 years when this coating breaks down will it crystallize and cause scratches when washing or polishing?" Had to explain to him that this was scraped up out of a bowl and would never be noticeable to the eye when it did "live it's life" lol

UK is definitely a great product! Can be a little finicky to apply, but the results are always worth it.

Since you didn't post any pics, I will share some of mine that have been treated with UK :)

Beautiful work as always Zach! It's been crappy lighting by the time my wife gets home from work for any good photos. Hopefully this weekend I can get some.

Got lucky... happened to be finishing up in the evening as the sun was going down which made for great sun stars on the paint :) one of my favorite pics... especially since it is white paint
