    Review: Gtechniq EXO v2 Complete Kit

    I applied 2 coats of EXOv2 last June, great stuff. I use the pressure washer at the car wash as a last resort during the winter just to keep the big stuff from accumulating til it warms up enough to wash it at home. I only use their soap and “spot free” rinse (ya right). Here in Colorado, they...

    GTechniq products and # of applications

    Do you happen to know if 15ml of C5 Wheel armor is enough for a set of 19" - 5 spoke rims? I'm planning on taking the wheels off and was thinking about doing 2 coats. I want to make sure I have enough on hand so I don't have to pull the wheels twice. Thanks, +1 on the EXOv2. 30 ml just...

    Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful

    Hi Mike, After reading this thread, I tried to find out if my new 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T had Ceramiclear or any other ceramic clear coat on it. A few posters mentioned that MB and some other German brands used it. I was really concerned about the quote from Dr. Ghodoussi about only having 0.2 mils...

    EXO Question

    Ok Thanks, Do you happen to know if the CarPro Suede MFs would be suitalbe for applying EXO? Has anyone tried this? I have a bunch of them left over I bought for applying C-Quartz a while ago. I will be using either the Deluxe 600 or Supreme 530 for the EXO removal. TIA

    EXO Question

    Good info, thanks. By "too glossy" I meant like of some of the tire and vinyl dressings have that super shiny look that I don't really care for. It could just be the lighting in the pics I saw that makes it seem that way. The EXO by itself might look just fine. I agree that it's probably not...

    EXO Question

    Thanks for the replies guys, The reason I was asking is that from some of the pictures I've seen it seems like it might be a little too glossy. I was thinking a little carnuba might tone it down some and give it more depth on a dark colored car, or maybe it won't?? I know it doesn't need...

    EXO Question

    I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on some EXO during the sale today. I know it's not necessary but would it screw anything up if I wanted to occasionally top it w/ some carnuba or WGDG? Which QDs are compatible? Thanks,

    Is 12/21/2012 the end?

    The Mayan calendar is chiseled onto a big round stone. It didn't end, I think they just ran out of rock. Maybe the rest of it's on the other side??? Happy New Year Everyone!

    Headlight Help!!

    Thanks very much for the input. Dried condensation makes a lot of sense considering it came from Germany on a ship and was delivered to the Port of Houston, talk about humidity! I'm not going to even attempt cleaning them, probably screw something up even worse. I'm going to wait for a reply...
