Xpel Ultimate or Cquartz Finest

Chan · 10-05-2014, 10:21 AM

Alright guys, I know there have been different threads about clear bras versus paint sealants but I am still not sure which one to get since I can only choose one due to budget constraints. Should I pay $1,750 for Xpel Ultimate for the full hood, bumper, fenders, headlights and mirrors or pay $880 for Cquartz Finest on the paint? I live in South Florida which has pretty good roads but some really intense sunlight. My BSM M4 will be here in a couple of weeks and I need to make a decision soon. Please help!

Phil from detailerdomain told me this. A good detailer can always fix the paint, but once u get rock chips that cant be fixed. So go with the clear bra buddy

Go with XPEL

I agree that a clear bra is far more effective than paint protection. You could go for something like Suntek self healing for $700 and get cquartz.

Thanks guys. Everybody I've talked to has also recommended getting the clear bra over the paint sealant so it looks like I will just bite the bullet and get it. Now I'll need to research about the Suntek PPF since all I've read up on thus far are the Xpel and 3M films.

I got SolarGard by Saint Gobain (company that makes M4 windows) and am very happy with it.

Get both. You will want a sealant on BSM for the areas that are not covered by the clear bra. And probably sealant on the bra itself for easier maintenance.

But you got BSM; you have a lot of free time, right???
