Thanks. When I did the car originally, it was terrible - I did a 3 stage correction. It’s not bad now but defo some marks. Do you think I need to be worried about another polish on the top coast after a 3 stage correction? Much appreciated!

Thanks very much. I guess I was worried about polishing and risking either damaging or only partly removing the CSL but it sounds like it won’t still be there anyway!

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

Hi folks, Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’d really appreciate some advice! I did CSL on a full fat RR 2/3 years ago, followed by two coats of EXO V2. Obvs it’s been a while and I can feel contamination on the paint despite always washing with Gtechniq ceramic and finishing with...

I should've done more before pics, it was very rough. The dealership just used heaps of filler, so I hadn't spotted it when I bought it. I really didn't expect it to come up so well, which is why I hadn't planned on ceramic coating but I'm very happy now. I was quite aggressive with the...

Finally.... finished (except for glass, which is next week)! Very pleased - the paint was not good at all and someone at the dealership had done a TERRIBLE job of some bad cheap smart repairs and then completely ballsed-up the polishing as you could see, especially around the door handles on...

Thank you - that certainly helps my planning for today :D

That looks great! Thank you - I'll probably do the same. Just as a guide, I don't suppose you recall how many towels you got through in total? Was it 3 per panel? How long did that take you to do CSL + 2xEXO?

Getting there... ready for application of CSL + 2xEXO tomorrow :props: Some pics attached of the issues when I bought the car and now. I'm pleased! Thanks everyone for the help and advice!

I don’t dry it - I use a water filter, so no spotting when naturally drying. Maybe I’ll give it a gentle blow but that’s it :dblthumb2:

OK, thanks! I was really just thinking of avoiding it ahead of coating but I guess the paint is clean and a mitt would help remove dust…:xyxthumbs:

Just don’t want to risk introducing any scratching. I generally avoid using unless I have to but just after correcting and polishing, probably best to avoid?

Yeah, thanks! I actually use bilt hamber auto foam :-) I don’t want to use a mitt now until after CSL but I’ll foam and rinse and panel wipe like you say to get rid of dust! I’ll post some pics when I finish polishing and then when coated, thanks

Yeah, we’ll…… to be honest, I didn’t know how much work the correction was going to be and I didn’t know it would turn out really looking quite good. Plus, I thought deep gloss sealant was good but I realise it’s no CSL. Anyway, the car isn’t being driven (in fact, I haven’t finished polishing)...

I normally snow foam and rinse. If I have to ‘wash’, I use gtechniq G-wash and filtered water, so naturally dry. that good? I guess I’ll add gtechniq quick detailer in future and probably too the EXO up after 18 months. Not sure how to do that yet without spoiling the CSL

Thanks - I’m going to do CSL and EXO. Do you reckon I’ll get two coats of exo on a Range Rover out of 50ml? how long would you leave EXO between coats? much appreciated!

Thanks - I'm defo doing CSL and EXO - as much as I like playing with the car, I have two kids and I don't have the time :-)

Actually that is a bit of an issue... I have some CarPro Eraser but I've read that I really need GTechniq Panel wipe as that is designed to completely strip the panel where eraser isn't. I REALLY don't want to make a mess with CSL, so I'm going to have to wait for the shops to open next week and...

Thanks. Think I’m going to do CSL with EXO over the top!

OK, thanks. I just need to grow a pair the :-) Will it be an issue that a) the paint isn’t perfect and b) I’ve not removed badges etc
