Gtechniq EXO Application Instructions with Trista

Gtechniq EXO Application Instructions with Trista


Gtechniq Application Segment
When you start the video below it will start at the point in which we're applying the Gtechniq EXO. On the counter it's 1:28:00


At the 1965 Mustang Show Car Makeover my friend Brian brought his girlfriend Trista with him to learn how to machine polish paint along with the rest of the guys. After we finished with all the prep work I asked Trista to show everyone how easy the Gtechniq is to apply...

EXO Application Instructions

Surgically Clean Surface
Surface to be treated must be surgically clean and free from any oils, waxes, sealants and silicones. Start by cleaning and degreasing any surface to be treated using a wax, grease and silicone remover. For this project we used Wurth Clean-Solve


Surface Temperature – Surface should be cool to the touch

Fahrenheit
Surface temperature must be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit and no hotter than 104 degrees Fahrenheit for proper application and bonding.

Celsius
Surface temperature must be at least 20 degrees Celsius and no hotter than 40 degrees Celsius for proper application and bonding.


Smooth, glossy or matte hard nonabsorbent surfaces
• Dampen one side of a clean, microfiber towel folded 4-ways by spraying directly on to cloth surface.
• Evenly spread EXO over the surface to bet treated using a gentle overlapping motion.

• After applying EXO to one panel, immediately switch to a second, clean, dry microfiber towel and remove any excess reside to leave a streak-free finish.

• Repeat this process 20 minutes later to the same area to ensure uniform coverage, protection and appearance.

• Allow 48 hours for the coating to fully cure before introducing water or moisture to the treated surface.
Todd helps Trista to get the EXO onto her microfiber towel...



Trista is a real car enthusiast and always willing to help out with this project wherever she was needed...



Always hold your microfiber towel away from the car when spraying EXO onto the microfiber towel to avoid getting overspray onto the car...



And be sure to wear protective gloves when applying the Gtechniq EXO...



Gently spread the EXO over the surface using overlapping circular motions...



Inspect the surface from different angles to make sure you have an even and uniform application with no missed spots...



Applying Gtechniq is so easy even a Trista gets professional results her first time...





Remove Excess Immediately
Here's Stuart following Trista gently wiping off any excess for a true show car shine...



To help grip the super soft deluxe green microfiber towels, Stuart is wearing microfiber gloves...






EXO Buddy System
Using the Buddy System is a great approach for applying Gtechniq EXO that way as one person is applying the Hybrid Coating, the other person can follow their path of travel removing the excess...



Here are the results...











Apply 2 Applications
For best results and maximum performance, wait approximately 20 minutes and then apply a second coat.

Thank you!
Thank you Trista, Todd and Stuart and Steve who is in the background of some of the shots cleaning the windows.

Beautiful paint...kind of reminded me of Max's CRM C6 you did and finished with Souveran:

Fuzion or Souveran on Dark Metallics?

All I can say is to back you up and state that the finish looks just as amazing in person as it does in any of the videos or pictures.

With a little luck, maybe sometime Yancy can extract the high definition footage taken with the boom camera and post just that section of the live broadcast. Oh yeah... that would be powerful.

The colors are in the same family but different hues... but your bigger point is correct...


Beautiful paint

After of course claying, swirl removal, machine polishing and then chemically stripping and then carefully applying and removing the Gtechniq EXO

Trista and her boyfriend Bryan who goes by the forum name of TROLL just moved here from Pennsylvania.

I met Bryan at our last Detail Fest as he brought his Subaru WRX to show me water spots in the paint. We can expect to see Bryan back with either his Subaru or his way-cool 1994 Toyota Supra and of course his incredibly nice girlfriend Trista.


See his cars here,

New guy from South Florida!


Some very nice cars...

Bryan is as meticulous as they get so I'm confident we'll see him and even Trista back here at Autogeek for more car detailing projects.

I really want to work on his Supra!
