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

First time trying ceramic coating. Not sure which brand to buy. After watching Projecfarm, went with Gtechniq CSL and EXO V4. Couldn't be happier with the results. After trying on one car, I was so impressed with the results that I bought enough for all 4 cars. Pretty easy product to use but time consuming. Hope the coating will last 3 years. Some advice. Make sure the paint is as clean and swirl free as you want it because once the coating is applied, you will be stuck with it for 3 to 5 years. Like not polishing all the bird poop burn marks, if you coat over that, you just preserved it for 3 to 5 years. You don't have to apply EXO V4 after CSL. If you do, be prepared to work 5 to 6 hours straight. It took me 2.5 hours to apply CSL. Need to apply EXO V4 within 2 hours after CSL otherwise it won't adhere well. I was already late by 30 minutes. Results came out good.

I was a little worried about putting this on myself, watching a few how to videos helped. I only had one spot I did a little thin that you can notice, but it was actually pretty easy. I applied this about 2 months ago, and finally had to wash my car to see how it would work. I did notice that dust didn’t build up near as quickly as it usually does. I finally got caught by some field sprinklers so it was time for a quick wash. I hit a DIY wash place, did a high pressure rinse and then a spot free rinse. The water rolls off the car quite effortlessly, by the time I got home there was hardly any left for me to get with the microfiber cloth. The bugs and dirt washed off the car without any scrubbing as well. I’m quite satisfied with the performance of this stuff, I’ll probably have to get more and do my wife’s jeep now.

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

This brand in general is great for the money. Any bad reviews are from people not knowing how to use this product. It’s not just throw it on. Takes some prep work so please research how to use these before you start. It’s a whole process but when done right I’ve seen better results from this brand than on cars I’ve paid $2k to get done.

5 th car ive done, last years. blow car dry with leaf blower and detail spray best and longest lasting ceramic coating ive tried

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.

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.

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