Gtechniq - EXOv5 & Crystal Serum Light Bundle 50ml - Ceramic Coating Paint Protection, Add Gloss, Resist Swirls, Repel Dirt & Contaminants, Ultra-Durable, High Gloss, Slick Feel

So I did a lot of research on ceramic coating AKA 50 YouTube videos. This one seemed to be the highest rated. It also had a two-part application for additional hydrophobic properties. I also asked AI a million questions and used Google Gemini during the process. First started with the iron spray, surprisingly even a brand new car. Yes, there were iron particles.. Then a good wash with a pH neutral soap. My factory new Lexus GX550 in Pearl was pretty immaculate to begin with. But then I clay barred it. Oh my God. I thought it was smooth before. This is ridiculous. The shine was incredible, then I did the orbital polishing, another unachievable level of ridiculous shine, then finally I applied at the first part of the Crystal serum light, was easy to apply. Wax on wax off. Wax off Daniel-san, then waited 2 hours and the EXO hydrophobic application. The thing is ridiculous. My mechanic looked at my car and was like "it's ridiculous". It's so good looking. I never thought a car could be so shiny. This is what you want to buy, take your time, do it in the shade and use all the right steps beforehand. It's worth every penny and effort. I had asked for quotes locally and it was $2,500, I understand why. It's also supposed to last 5 years, now that it's cured for about 4 days. Any dirt just blows right off it. It's amazing

Fantastic product. I've coated 100's of cars professionally for years, this is by far one of the easiest coatings to work with for a beginner. Coat every surface of the car, plastic, glass, paint, etc. Gloss is outstanding. Extremely slick. Average price for other coatings, but 2nd layer is good for coverage. 30ml is PLENTY to do a car 2 times. Just don't over apply it.

Quality stuff that works. Professional install recommended if all prep tools not avaible for paint correction. Installed in the Caribbean.

I started with almost new red paint, 1,500 miles on the car. It had light scratches from when the dealer washed it. I won't let them wash the car again. After cleaning I clay barred, then machine polished with a finishing polish. Most of the scratches came out which was good enough for me. After a 20% alcohol wipe I used 1" pieces of detail tape to mark off the panels for CSL. I applied 1 to 2 eye dropper containers to the pad, depending on the size of the panel I was doing. I applied CLS to all shiny surfaces: paint, trim, chrome, glass. I used to entire 50ml bottle, mid size SUV. The only mistake I made, that I know of, is I didn't always check with a light to be sure I buffed away all the haze. I became to confident. On final inspection, using a light, I found a couple spots on the side windows with haze. I removed it with a window clay bar. I applied the EXOv5 to all surfaces except windows. I applied EXO to larger panel sizes. I may go back and EXOv5 to the windows, I'm going to ask Gtechniq first. The whole job took 18 hours to coat my wife's Lexus RX. My left arm no longer work, can't raise it above my head. I'll recover for a couple weeks before doing my car. And I'll split the job into more days. Day1: wheels and interior. Day 2 evening: Wash car, wash garage floor, clay bar paint and windows: Day 3: Polish paint ( and windows if needed). Day 4 morning: Wipe and apply CSL and EXOv5. After buy way more car detailing stuff than I need (pressure washer, foam canon, 3" and 6" machine polishers, towels, pads and chemicals) I figure I'm saving more than half by doing this myself... and now I have my kids come over and help wash their cars

Good products !

I wish I could put this stuff on my windshield! The shine I've always wanted and the ease of maintenance is beyond the up front expense. I warn you, DO YOUR RESEARCH, and prepare for a METRIC TON of prep Labor. Took me close to 15 hours to complete. Totally worth it though. Would explain the 5k professional quote I got. Youtube is a great source for prep and application.

Work great for drying the car after wash. Nice quilts and very soft.

Applied it to existing protective film without any issues.
