all the products listed use a covalent bond whereby the coating swaps part of it's structure (the hydroxyl group) with that of the paint - see here for details of how it works with C1 - similar thing with EXO. how the organic element of exo bonds to the inorganic element is a trade secret

and afaik EXO is the only hybrid coating listed. it's a hybrid of the chemically bonding hard inorganic quartz base and an organic top layer that has all the nice function you get from a very expensive wax ie the slick feel, super wet look and great hydrophobic function. but none of the...

is that you rui? all going quite well. shipping about half our lines now and our new premises will be ready in about 3 weeks. hope to be back to full strength in about 1 month :xyxthumbs:

as manufacturer of one of the coatings listed here I want to try not to speak out of turn. Just want to make the point that the reason we say our coatings (c1 and exo) last around 3 years - it's not that they will have been removed after three years - they bond chemically with your paintwork so...

and the main thing is that nobody was hurt and the fire didn't spread to neighbouring businesses.

hi guys - copy and pasted from DW - don't worry - no intention of binning Gtechniq - I love it too much!! and there is so much more to the Gtechniq story to come. here's our official statement: Last night a very large fire swept through our warehouse and has wiped out all our available stock...

make sure that each layer of c1 is fully cured prior to applying the next layer otherwise it will be very "grabby". good luck with the prep - cracking car to do it on :xyxthumbs:

hiya thanks for the interest in p1. our pSystem polish system (p1, p2 and x3 hotswap pads) is pretty different to most polish systems out there. as Rsurfer says - P1 is water based. it is non diminishing too. the key to this polish is that we have managed to source a very consistent and...

thanks for posting :xyxthumbs: you could use panel wipe after g4 but it's not strictly necessary as you can remove the residue from g4 with a mf cloth and if it's hard to remove a damp mf cloth.

assumptions are just that - you assume that ours are the same because they look roughly the same. the fleeces we use are significantly different.

you're slipping on your impartiality there Cee Dog :laughing: fwiw there are significant differences between fleeces depending on burr content of fleeces, fineness of fibre, clumpiness of fibre, etc. there are several grades of merino. you have a justifiably big reputation on this and other...

here's a great vid of G1 at work in a Florida cloud burst [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrRlzQCFCu0]Gtechniq ClearVision Smart Glass 3 Month Update - YouTube[/video]

not sure what DP Glass Restorer is (we don't get that brand this side of the pond) but regular glass polish won't remove the coating.

you will always get spots with a hydrophobic coating and dirty water. but with g1 you should find spots are relatively easy to remove and if you need polish, it's not going to affect the coating.

heh - two pints - tempting - couple of pints of ale would go down very well right now! 2p = 2 pence. regarding beading - absolutely right. we are in the process of running final trials of an extremely hydrophilic coating designed for the marine market designed to keep water spotting to a...

my 2p on this. as a manufacturer of long life coatings we are asked this quite a lot. so how do you judge a coating is still on a car? beading? absence of beading only indicates that the hydrophobic ligands have stopped functioning - this could be something to do with a residue on the...

as above - don't think of any of these will make your car as scratch resistant as a crystal face on a watch. coatings such as c1 add some marr resistance but the dirt repellency and easy clean function of c1/exo make it so that you have to wash your car less often and with less force. this...

will update the label - think we are safe to change to 12 hours.

tbh - even though this is ideal - we have had cars that have been sent out into a rainstorm 3 hours after correct application and not seen any adverse reaction or drop in performance
