Some companies suggest going over the coating ( usually 30-60 minutes later ) with their silica spray to help with the slickness.

CarPro directs you to use the RELOAD after applying the CQuartz.
Definitely adds the slick feel.

Updated pic in the sunlight. It's crazy, the stuff is not slick when dry, but when you wash it it's unbelievably smooth. I love it.

One thing I did learn, specifically about this blackfire coating, is it flashes QUICKLY. In certain lighting you can see some high spots in the truck. It's fine in the sun, fine in the dark obviously, but if it's dusk and overcast or just very overcast you can see some high spots if you look closely. At first I was pissed thinking that i'd have to buff it all off and redo it, but it's so barely noticeable that I don't think i'm going to worry about it. I wiped everything down with a microfiber within 30 seconds of applying the coating, but that apparently was long enough for some spots to flash and dry. Lesson learned for the next time I do this.
