At Metropolitan Detail in Redmond, we apply CQuartz Professional, a nano-ceramic coating that gives your car a deep, wet look and years of real protection. It beads water hard, blocks UV and oxidation, and shields your paint from bird droppings, bugs, and brake dust. Dirt has a harder time sticking, so washing is easier, and the coating holds up for 2 to 3 years. We take care of drivers all over Bellevue and Seattle.
Achieve a stunning wet look and years of real protection with CQuartz Professional. This advanced nano-ceramic coating beads water hard and lets dirt slide right off, so your car stays cleaner and easier to wash. It blocks the UV rays that fade paint and resists water spots, bird droppings, bug acids, and brake dust, the everyday threats that dull an unprotected finish. Applied only by CarPro Authorized Installers, and Metropolitan Detail is proud to be one of them, CQuartz Professional protects your paint for 2 to 3 years. Every coating starts with a light paint correction for a strong bond and a flawless, lasting shine.
With proper care, CQuartz Professional protects your paint for 2 to 3 years, far longer than any wax or sealant.
CQuartz Professional is known as one of the highest-gloss coatings available, giving your paint real depth and a lasting wet look.
Two coats go on over lightly corrected paint, so the gloss sits on a clean, refined surface and looks its best from the start.
Compared to wax, dust and dirt cling up to 80% less, so your car looks clean between washes instead of dusty a day later.
Every Professional coating includes a full wash, 3-stage decontamination, and a light paint correction before the coating goes on. A coating is only as good as the surface under it.
CQuartz seals your finish with a glossy, hydrophobic top coat. Every coating includes a full wash, decontamination, and prep, because a coating is only as good as the paint underneath it. If you want more swirl and scratch removal than the light correction we include, we will take a look and quote it. Heavy contaminants like overspray, moss, or hard sap take extra labor, also quoted after we see the car.
CQuartz Professional lays down a deep, rich gloss, the kind of wet look you usually only see right after a fresh detail. The difference here is that it does not wash away in a month. It pulls the best out of your paint, brings up the color and the metallic flake, and holds that finish for years instead of weeks.
The coating is extremely hydrophobic, which simply means water can’t stick to it. Rain, dust, and road grime bead up and roll right off instead of bonding to the paint. Your washes get faster, your car stays cleaner between them, and a lot of the stuff that used to stick just does not anymore, which matters through a wet Redmond, Bellevue, and Seattle winter.
CQuartz Professional puts a thick, protective barrier between your paint and the things that damage it. It blocks UV rays to prevent oxidation, fading, and dullness, and resists oil and water stains, brake dust, and iron contaminants. Even acidic threats like bird droppings, bug splatter, and tar sit on the coating instead of etching your clear coat, so they wipe away easily and your paint stays vibrant for 2 to 3 years.
The coating forms a dense, hard 3D layer bonded to your paint. That thickness protects against abrasion, weathering, and the environmental attacks your car faces every day, while putting real distance between your finish and daily wear. Through every season, from wet winters to summer sun, it holds strong and keeps the gloss deep for years.
CarPro’s published rating for the coating, and it matches what we see in the shop.
Durability ratings are based on real world use. Garaged cars cared for as directed go well past the stated numbers.
A coating only looks as good as the paint under it. Here is what your car goes through before a drop of CQuartz touches it.
What we start with on most cars: swirl marks, tar, brake dust, dirt, and other contaminants sitting in and on the clear coat.
Iron, tar, and a clay pad pull the bonded contamination out of the paint. Clean, but still not smooth.
Machine polishing levels the clear coat and removes swirls and scratches instead of filling them in.
A finishing polish refines the paint to a mirror, so there is nothing left to hide under the coating.
2 coats bond to corrected paint. Enhanced gloss, strong dirt and water repellency, and years of protection.
John, Lee and the entire team are top notch. John joined us to inspect the Tesla on the scheduled date and it happened to be the wettest day of the decade with delivery outside. John was soaking wet and yet took his time to inspect the car in painstaking detail, including the underbody. These guys are craftsmen and designers.
Great customer service and communication. Dropped off my car in the morning in exchange for their loaner car. I picked up my well-groomed car at end of the day. Every surface was seemingly cleaned. I am satisfied with the Wash, Decon and Protect package, and will return in the spring for an upgraded exterior package.
This is what truly sets us apart. Professional paint correction removes swirls and scratches from your vehicle’s paint using the world’s best polishes and techniques. Most detailers use low-grade polishes that fill swirls with silicones and waxes to hide them. We remove them. Through multiple stages of machine polishing, the process takes more time, but the result is a finish that’s genuinely restored, not masked. Every CQuartz Professional coating includes a light paint correction to prep the surface. If you want to remove deeper swirls and scratches, we can take the paint further, charged by the hour on top of your coating so the corrected paint is sealed and protected afterward. We recommend bringing your vehicle in for an evaluation, so we can assess the paint and give you an accurate quote.
Professional sits in the middle of the CQuartz line. If you are keeping the car a year or leasing it, SiC covers you for less. If you plan to keep it and want the deepest, hardest finish we can put on paint, Finest Reserve is the one.
While your car is here, these are easy to add on.
A hydrophobic glass coating for your windshield and glass. It repels water, cuts glare, and makes bugs and sap wipe off easily, for a clearer view in the rain.
Clear headlights matter for safe driving. Over the years, they oxidize and yellow, dimming the light they give off. We wet sand and polish them back to clear, then add paint protection film to keep them that way for years.
A high-temp ceramic on the wheels and calipers so brake dust and grime wipe right off and they stop fading.
Faded plastic trim is one of the first things that ages a car. CQuartz DLUX is a high-silica ceramic, over 50% pure silica, that restores black trim and protects it from UV fading.
Add-on pricing is subject to a vehicle inspection.
Quality work takes time, and you should not have to wait around for it. We keep a small free fleet, based on availability, so your day keeps moving.
2-3 years with proper washing.
SiC is the entry coating at about a year. Professional is a nano-ceramic hybrid at 2-3 years with a deeper shine. Finest Reserve is the flagship at 3-5, infrared cured.
No. A coating is for gloss and easy cleaning. For chip protection you want paint protection film, and plenty of people do both.
A light correction is, so the coating goes on clean paint. If you want swirls fully removed, we can do a fuller correction, quoted after we see the car.
Hand wash with a coating-safe soap, and skip wash-and-wax products, they gum it up.
