    Finally gave the CSL Exo V3 combo a go!

    So as most know I am a big fan and user of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. I have also tried Exo V3 by itself with good results. But I have never broke down and tried the CSL Exo V3 combo.

    CSL by itself offers great chemical resistance and gloss. Adding Exo V3 over CSL is supposed to offer greater hydrophobic properties/self cleaning ability.

    So a few days ago being board and business a bit slow due to the weather I decided to try out the CSL Exo V3 combo on my GTO.

    I did a light machine polishing with Menzerna sf3800 and my G21. Followed by a prep wipe with Eraser.

    Applying the coatings was straight forward as normal. I waited 12hrs between CSL and Exo V3 application.

    To try out how well the beading and self cleaning ability I drove the car on dirty roads with melted snow etc then hit it with the pressure washer. Results were pretty much what I was expecting. The majority of the surface dirty easily released from the surface with a small amount of film remaining after blowing it dry.

    Here's a video showing the beading etc.

    Here's a video after pressure washing only and blowing dry. After this video I simply went over the vehicle with some Mckees 37 high gloss detail spray to remove a small amount of film left over.

    So far I will say that there appears to be better beading and it adds a bit more gloss. Going to keep an eye on it.

    Nice work and great results. I have no idea why people are still using wax over the really great coatings on the market now.
