Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light Ceramic Coating for Cars, 1 fl oz

I'm one that is always trying new wars etc for cars so I can take care of this non-VOC paints they use now which pale compared to car paints of old for longevity. Prepped my car, washing, stripping, polishing, the works. Since we as nonprofessionals cannot buy the good stuff we are relegated to buying lesser products. I had gtechniqs applied professionally to wife's outback because dealer grade stuff sucked (never buy the ceramic package offered, it's not as hard and is cheaper grade and scratches easily etc. After seeing how her car looked, I wanted to do something to lessen my job caring for my own car ('17 Legacy) i bought this because reviews are generally stellar for g tech. The CSL along with EXO v5 was a simple and very easy process (outside of the prep needed to get to application point). The CSL looked great. I bought the 1oz csl and 1.7 oz EXO. I wish I had bought the larger CSL but I did not coat my front grill area because of the rock chips as I may want to refresh that first. It's hard to know how much to use but as time goes you figure it out. The dropper looks like it has peyronies and it caused me to miss the pad a couple times(the applicator is small, 2-3 fingers at most but effective especially given amount used). CSL is better than C1 from the time between finishing application to being able to apply EXO (2 hrs for CSL, 4hrs for C1). NOTE: if they have them, buy extra application pads in case you drop yours on the ground. Also buy some new and good removal rags as you will need them. I am very happy with results on my car and given that you can refresh the EXOv5 in a couple years without much trouble thus means you can save the CSL from degradation without doing all the extra work. The CSL did fill in some minor scratches but for most part you need to do well correcting. Buy a light for inspecting Buy the Panel Wipe Buy at least a 12 pack of microfiber rags, the low profile (P1) rather than fuzzy ones and mark your wet removal one with a sharpie so you know which one is which. Buy large bottle of EXO to apply 2 coats. Be aware that you will spend a few hundred if you purchase window ceramic and polishes and residue remover BUT if you are detail oriented this system is hands down easy af. I am grateful the GTechniq makes a consumer grade product. I included the products I used but as of yet I have not bought the trim coating for my black rubber straps. I'll wait until full cured so I can tape off safely

Bought this becuase I’m not quite ready yet for more “professional” ceramic coatings, and this is one of the few 5yr ceramics on the market that’s super easy to install (this and Ammo Reflex). I’ve applied CSL on 2 cars so far and both were incredibly easy to apply as long as you’re careful. Most important thing is paint prep which is more challenging. Make sure you have good lighting as even a smudge or hand print can be noticeable if you don’t wipe thoroughly. If you do it correctly and polish beforehand the result will be an incredibly smooth glass like surface that has zero tack or texture. Highly recommended, just keep in mind one bottle will only last one car and make sure you have a few microfiber towels on-hand.

Superb product to use after gtechniq crystal serum light. This is a great hydrophobic layer to put on after your ceramic coating. I’ve used this on a handful of vehicles and sets of wheels and it creates an unmatched level of protection and ease of cleaning. I coated this car 18 months ago.

I prepped the car with a clay bar and then on to the panel wipe. My car is fairly new (2020) and stays in the garage and less than 7k miles, so it wasn't needing any correction. I noticed that in parts, I did apply too liberally but the product didn't "punish me" and easily wiped off. I have used tons of various products in my detailing world but this is by far the best I have used. There was one spot where I had put my sweaty hand on the A pillar and didn't see it and coated over it. I went back over it and the palm print was stuck under the coating already with less than a couple hours cure time. This stuff is no joke. I had to get a fine cut polish to get it out and recoat that area. So far, I am happy with the results of the shine, ease of use and look forward to having a long lasting finish.

Do the prep work correctly, apply this, it’s easy and then tip coat with EXO V5 and be ready to be amazed

I was tried of waxing cars, so I thought this might be worth the price. It applies very easily (Too easily for this newbie). I did the 1st 1/4 of the small car and realized I only had a 3rd left. I stretched it with both the applicator and the MF towel to "finish" the car. Car does look great, so time will tell how it lasts. Car is a 2013, so I not sure if old paint absorbs more, but 1 oz is NOT enough for a larger car based on my 1st try. Now I have to decide if I buy more for my minivan next.

Use this for peoples cars all the time at my work. Great product lasts long and has been solid for my black truck.

Gtechniq is the best. buy with confidence. Follow the instructions. cool temp is a must, perfect lighting is a must. work on small sections only - 1’ area. no dust area. use in garage only. let cure before top coat. outstanding product.

Wir führen Keramikversiegelungen seit knapp 8 Jahren durch und sind mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Lg Team Soncar Autoaufbereitung Dornbirn

Fácil de aplicar....rinde mucho...

Prodotto ottimo, a mio avviso non c’e’ prodotto migliore sul mercato. Il tallone d’achille e’ il tempo e condizioni di stoccaggio. Ho ricevuto in due occasioni il prodotto che stava iniziando a cristallizzare. Cio’ significa che e’ rimasto sullo scaffale per troppo tempo.

En toute sincérité je recommande fortement après plusieurs essai de céramique sur mon gla 45 celle ci le TOP 👌👌 un bon polissage ou lustrage avant bien sûr

Maravilloso
