    2015 RAV 4 Polished with McKee's 37 & Coated with Crystal Serum Light & EXO

    Exo can be applied on top of another Gtechniq coating or to bare paint to ensure you have a strong bond. You need to remove the Wolfgang liquid seal before applying Exo.

    Best wheel cleaner out there?

    I have used a lot of the major offerings and recently tried Adam's Deep wheel cleaner and I am very impressed. Some of the highlights are price point, pleasant smell, clings and foams exceptionally well, and turns red when it reacts with brake dust.

    2003 WRB Subaru WRX - Paint Enhancement + Gtechniq CSL

    Thanks for the kind words. Completely agree. Given the choice I would have gotten WRB for my WRX but had to set for Crystal White Pearl due to availability. I do as well especially when they are the nice JDM projector headlights. Exhaust tips took a bit of effort but they came out nice. It...

    2003 WRB Subaru WRX - Paint Enhancement + Gtechniq CSL

    The outsides were polished but the "yellowing" is on the inside. These particular headlights are off the JDM vehicle in Japan and have likely been neglected their entire lives. My only conclusion is that the UV protection failed a long time ago and has started to deteriorate the inside of the...

    2003 WRB Subaru WRX - Paint Enhancement + Gtechniq CSL

    The owner of this vehicle contacted me almost 2 years ago but it took awhile for us to work out our schedules and for the rust repair on the front quarter panels to be completed. All in all this is a beautiful LHD 2003 Subaru WRX in wonderful WRB paint. The owner was looking to remove some...

    I detail a lot of Subarus and the typical paint thickness is between 4-5 mils. On this particular VW Golf R the paint measured between 5-5.5 mils.

    2016 Onyx White Golf R - New vehicle Prep with Gtechniq CSL

    Thanks Application experience is similar to Gtechniq Exo v2. My only caution is to make sure you determine the flashing time yourself. I let the roof sit too long and had to re-polish and recoat. CSL might be my new go to coating. It is easy to apply and leaves the surface incredibly slick...

    2015 RAV 4 Polished with McKee's 37 & Coated with Crystal Serum Light & EXO

    I had a similar experience installing Gtechniq CSL on a vehicle that I did on the weekend. For most panels I waited about 4 minutes before removing the excess. I must have lost track of time on the roof and it already cured by the time I went to wipe it off. I ended up having to re-polish the...

    2016 Onyx White Golf R - New vehicle Prep with Gtechniq CSL

    I haven't posted much of my work in awhile due to a recent move into my new place and having my 3rd child but I am going to try and post as often as I can. This weekend I got the opportunity to detail an Onyx white 2016 Volkswagen Golf R for a buddy of mine. The owner of the vehicle took...

    2006 Porsche Boxster S - Paint Enhancement + Opti-Coat 2.0

    I broke up the detail over an entire week so I did a bit here and there. I was surprised how much I accomplished in what seems to be a short amount of time. The vehicle is exceptionally well kept so that probably had something to do with it. Thanks I was very impressed with the results for a...
