What Is QUIVR Rogue Supposed to Do?
Marketed as a “ceramic detail spray,” Rogue claims:
- Extreme gloss and slickness
- SiO₂-based protection
- Safe for all surfaces
But ingredient transparency is limited, and the brand leans heavily on influencer trust rather than technical documentation.
Our Real-World Test Results
Application
- Easy to spray and wipe
- Flash time is fast—too fast in the sun
- Streaking observed on hot panels and trim
Gloss & Slickness
- Initial gloss is good—comparable to wax
- Slickness fades by week two on a daily driver
Durability
- After 3 washes, water behavior was weak
- Needed reapplication to maintain performance
Verdict: Looks nice short term—but doesn’t hold up under real use like Tough As Shell.
