C Quartz Finest Reserve vs CQUK

Does anyone know the actual real world differences between these products? I understand that the professionally applied CQFR is supposed to ultimately last longer, but from the reviews I have seen online, it seems people using CQUK are still getting great results 2 years after initial application.

Is there a reason that I am unaware of that would justify the higher cost of CQFR? For reference I am looking to apply either product to XPEL, so the professional paint prepping is not needed for my purposes.

was made for UK cold weather so it flashes faster than the Regular C quarrtz.....

so watch for streaking and the temp around you when you apply.

I am familiar with CQUK and its properties, what I want to know is how does it compare to the professionally applied CQFR?

I was just wondering from real world users if the differences were that far apart.

I guess eventually you have to reapply new coating or repair/add more sillica to the old coating.... Using ESSENCE Plus for example.,.,.,..
