Extreme UV Defence
The Problem: Queenstown’s high altitude and ozone hole mean UV radiation destroys clear coats faster than almost anywhere else.
The Solution: Our professional-grade coating creates a chemical UV barrier, stopping oxidation and fading dead in its tracks.
Winter Road Resilience
The Problem: CMA (Calcium Magnesium Acetate) and grit used on our winter roads are corrosive and stick to your paint.
The Solution: A hardened, hydrophobic surface prevents road chemicals from bonding. A simple rinse removes winter grime.
The "New Car" Gloss
The Benefit: Maintain that deep, wet-look gloss for 2+ years without ever waxing again. Higher resale value, less maintenance.

We didn't just pick a brand. We trialed the world's top coatings against the unique demands of the Central Otago climate. We chose the industry legend.
CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 is the benchmark against which other coatings are tested. It is the gold standard in the detailing industry, renowned for its high purity (99.9% SiO2) and "hard-shell" durability. While other "new" coatings come and go, CQuartz remains the undisputed king of real-world protection.
At Mason's Car Care, we tested this benchmark against the worst Queenstown could throw at it. From the scorching UV of a Central Otago summer to the corrosive Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) de-icers on the Crown Range.
💎 Phenomenal "Glassy" Gloss: CQuartz is famous for its darkening effect, adding a rich, wet-look depth to paintwork that waxes simply cannot mimic. It doesn't just shine - it glows!
🛡️ Chemical Resilience: Its high-silica structure creates a barrier impervious to bird droppings, bug splat, and pH-heavy wash chemicals (pH 3-14 resistance).
We don't experiment on customer's cars. We protect your investment with the world's most proven ceramic shield.
