Hey all, finally got a question. Has anyone tried using CQUK on glass? Reason asking is on the Hyundai Santa Fe, it looks like the whole roof is practically glass. I know it is probably best to use Forte or some other glass coatings. I don't have it on hand and was just wondering if anyone try this before? Do you see the same durability and protection as if its on paint? Thanks!

The way I understand the technology difference is that UK would sit on top of the glass over Forte which is small enough to penetrate the glass. I am pretty sure you COULD use UK but I doubt you would have the longevity of Forte, since UK can't really make a good mechanical bond with glass. Paint coating actually make a chemical bond with the urethane clear (giving it the longevity(, which won't happen with glass. I hope that make sense.
 
Use Forte - CQUK is not designed to withstand the physical abrasion from your wipers.

I think coating on glass works out fine. Sorry to mention a rivalry product but I have Opticoat 2.0 for almost a year on both my Lexus IS250 and IS350's glass and water just sheets off in a upward direction easily in the rain when the car reach 40 MPH or above. The wiper doesn't really affect it during that 1 year. I expect Carpro Cquartz UK will be the same so I just applied it on my family's car yesterday and see how it will go.

I know Hydro2 and Reload can last 1 to 3 months on glass because I have tested it.
