Welcome to the forum. Cquartz lite has a 1 year shelf life. It gets harder to use just as you described. Sounds like it has reached that point. Mine became unusable around 8 months.

Try a stronger dilution with micro restore and soak it in a bucket to see if that helps. I have used up all of my micro restore and have switched to R2R.
I invested in the rag company rag's to riches and it does a very good job at reviving towels soaking it in the bucket overnight and then washing them with more microfiber detergent.
Polish it with a medium cut polish. It does not take much to remove it.
Essence is not hydrophobic. It is more hydrophilic. This looks normal for Essence.
SiC can be applied 1 hour after UK. Gliss is 4 hours after UK or SiC.
SiC will have a long flash time compared to Gliss. Gliss is practically wipe on wipe off.
Don't over think it. Follow the directions and you will be fine.
Congrats. You chose a great combo of coatings.
To reapply it is best to polish and re-coat. It will allow the new layers to perform at it's maximum claimed performance. A coating is...
This was an issue that could occur with the first version of the leather coating.
At one point I recall CarPro switching out the suede from orange to white to avoid any bleeding from the orange...
I tend to let the vehicle sit overnight to let the SiO2 in it cure and do a light prep wipe to remove any residual oils and light dust. I do it as a precaution. You may be able to find Mothers CMX...
For a bicycle you can get away with either one. Use what you have.
Welcome to the forum.
I agree. Use it undiluted. It won't last more than a wash diluted at 1:3.

My best guess would be to start at 1:20 which is the standard dilution and adjust from there.
You would probably be fine using any of those coatings. I would consider DLUX or Skin. Maybe even CQ Leather.
Both look great.
Welcome to the forum. Hopefully a forum moderator can help you out.
Any silica spray sealant will do just fine.
Unfortunately most don't work unless they are fresh just as I mentioned. You could try spotless but if that does not work then you are going to have...
I used it a couple times and I have had mixed results with it. Meaning sometimes it doesn't affect the coating and other times it does. So it is hard for me to give you the correct answer. If it...
Was not able to see the images. If you have the tapatalk app then it is easy to add photos to your post.
The Tapatalk app is an easy way to post photos.
It is coating safe from what I have seen on CarPro's social media used at the recommended dilution.
It works great as a drying aid and quick detailer. I find 1:20 to be the sweet spot but try to find which ratio you like best. It will leave gloss and slickness more so than protection. It should...
Some additional info.
