I actually won this product from Autopia back in August. My apologies for being so late on this review.
The recipient for this product was a 2006 F-150 that belongs to my mom's fiancé. I completed a detail on this truck last month but kept forgetting to put up my pictures. :dunno: Process for the paintwork was as follows:
Wash
Iron X
Clay
Re-wash
Dry
Menzerna SIP (SI 1500) with LC Hydro-Tech Cyan Cutting pad with Flex 3401
Menzerna Nano Polish (SF 4000) on LC Hydro-Tech Tangering Polishing pad with Flex 3401
Eraser wipedown
Gtechniq EXO v2 (2 coats)
I got probably 85% correction or so on this truck, which is a daily driver and sits outside under a carport. EXO v2 was very easy to apply, much like applying UPGP or Opti-Seal. I used a Lake Country Coating Applicator to apply the EXO v2. I applied, waited a couple of minutes, and then buffed off with a microfiber. No streaking, and no issues with high spots that I have experienced with Opti-Coat 2.0. Slickness was decent, gloss was excellent (almost glass-like in appearance), and water beading and dirt repellancy appears to be top notch. Photos and video below.

My apologies for not doing a more in-depth review - I was more focused on the detail and less on doing pictures. All in all, seems to be a great product. I will have to see how well it holds up since I am the primary person who takes care of this truck. Thanks for looking!
