Prices may varyThe manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet classifies this product with one or more GHS Category 1 health hazards — the most severe tier. The hazard statements in quotes below are the verbatim GHS language from the SDS, as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
GHS Category 1 eye damage — classified as causing irreversible eye damage on contact.
If swallowed, inhaled, or splashed in eyes:
Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222 (US, 24/7, free) and have the product container with you. Poison Control's standing guidance is to not induce vomiting after chemical exposure; they will direct first-aid steps based on the specific product.
About this product's hazards. This product's Safety Data Sheet uses signal word danger. Read the manufacturer's SDS and follow all safety instructions before use.

This product ranks #3 of 6 in PPF / Vinyl Coating.
Last reviewed June 14, 2026
TL;DR SDS rates this DANGER via H318 (serious eye damage) · eye protection is required, no exceptions. Installer forums confirm clean bonding on XPEL and LLumar; community vinyl owners report clean results too. Real-world PPF durability tracks at 12·18 months, short of the 2-year label claim. Self-healing compatibility is mixed.
CQUARTZ Skin applies a hydrophobic nano-coating over PPF or vinyl wrap using a high-VOC kerosine-and-alcohol solvent carrier with an alkoxysilane active that cross-links to PVC, PU, and TPU substrates. XPEL and LLumar compatibility is installer-confirmed with no hazing or delamination; owners report clean results on Avery and 3M vinyl. Apply section by section on a clean, IPA-wiped surface · community flash time is 3·5 minutes. Community-tracked PPF durability: 12·18 months.
Best for PPF owners who want a proven installer-grade topcoat on XPEL or LLumar and are comfortable working outdoors with eye protection. Application is forgiving. Skip for film brands outside the confirmed list, and verify with your installer if preserving full self-healing speed matters.
The SDS (Rev 2.0, 2025-03-24) carries the DANGER signal word, driven by H318 · serious eye damage Cat 1, meaning irreversible injury on direct contact. SDS §8 specifies sealed goggles or face shield; no downgrade is possible under GHS. H317 (skin sensitizer Cat 1) is confirmed in §2 · sensitization is cumulative and does not resolve between exposures; nitrile, butyl, or FKM gloves required. H335 (respiratory irritation, confirmed in §2, not boilerplate) places lungs at recommended; SDS §8 specifies well-ventilated areas. No PFAS, no Prop 65 ingredients. Waste is hazardous per SDS §13 · dispose per local regulations.
Installer forum reports and r/AutoDetailing threads confirm no hazing, delamination, or edge lifting on XPEL and LLumar film brands. The manufacturer specifies compatibility with PVC, PU, and TPU substrates, which covers both brands. SunTek, Avery Dennison, and 3M have thinner independent data · confirm with your installer before applying to those films.
Community evidence is mixed. Some installers report self-healing is maintained; others describe slower reflow after application. No controlled independent head-to-head comparison (coated vs. uncoated film at 6+ months) has been documented. If preserving full self-healing speed is a priority, confirm with your PPF installer before coating.
Community and installer data puts real-world durability at 12-18 months on PPF. The manufacturer claims up to 2 years · a modest overstatement consistent with the category. Actual longevity depends on exposure conditions, wash frequency, and whether the film surface was properly prepped before application.
The film surface should be clean and free of contamination, oils, and residue. A film-safe IPA wipe or CarPro Eraser is the standard community prep step. Do not apply to wet or freshly washed film · allow the surface to fully dry. Apply section by section, working on panels no larger than 1·1.5 square feet to stay within the flash window.
The SDS signal word DANGER is driven by H318 · serious eye damage Category 1. This is a GHS classification meaning the compound can cause irreversible eye injury on direct contact. It does not indicate a fire hazard or inhalation hazard under normal wipe-on application. Eye protection (sealed goggles or face shield) is required per SDS §8 classification.
