Yes 12 hours would be optimal. 3 is the quickest and in professional opinion it's rushing

Wait til she washes it. She will be so happy because it's super easy. No more yellow headlights!

Lastly, once coated DO NOT take to an automatic car wash. Maintain the coating the paint is now under it indefinitely

A big thank you to Yancy and Sean!

We just finished buffing out the rest of the car and then applying the G1 to the paint. The owner is here so I'm going to present the car to her and then shut down the garage for the night.

I have som hi res pictures to share tomorrow and another final video where walk around the car so everyone can see how glossy the paint looks.

What type of pad do you recommend?


G4 easily used with machine, by hand is tough

***Update***

All the process and after shots have been added to the first page of this thread.

I also took a video showing how glossy the paint came out and it's in the first post of this thread.

For "pad" do you mean the applicator pads we applied Gtechniq products?


If so, we used the small round applicator pads that come with the product. If and when we run out I purchased some Publix brand make-up applicators, the small, soft round ones.

The thing you run into with coatings like this is you don't want to use an applicator that will soak up a lot of the product because it simply goes to waste.

So you want a small applicator that's not thick and won't absorb a lot of product but as it relates to the paintwork, it must be soft so it won't cause marring.

Thanks Steve and on behalf of Yancy, Jeff, Jeff and Rene, thank you also, it's always a team effort around here...


The owner Nickie and her husband were both blown away. Nickie's husband works at a car dealership and claims to have detailed a few cars in his life and he said it didn't look this good when they bought it brand new.

It truly does look just as good in person as it does in the pictures I posted...
