I applied gtechniq exo to my daily driver about a month and a half ago, and my question is does anyone know if using anything other than the c1.5 to maintain the coating will affect the water sheeting/beading properties of it? Can't seem to find anything on it, I was just curious because I tend to want to do a qd wipedown after I wash, and I don't want to alter the protection of the exo in anyway

I have applied EXO to 3 vehicles, none of which I am maintaining. However, I will be applying it to my car which hasn't been built yet (Ford production delay) I plan on using Gtechniq C2 (not available from Autogeek right now) which can be diluted 1:20. C1.5 cannot be diluted.

Another option I have considered is Meguiar's Final Inspection. It is a quick detailer that does not contain any silicone and, as far as i know, would not leave behind enough "protection" to mess with EXO

Yea that's what I'm looking for is something that won't mess with the protection. Exo is unbelievable IMO, never used anything that beads and sheets water like it does, and I don't want to compromise it. Even though I use a leaf blower to dry it after I wash and it's basically spot free from just that, I just like trying new products out :p plus I've used the c1.5 once on a different car and it streaked like crazy, but that was my fault I think. Used too much and the surface was warm

PM'd you about C2! EXO is amazing, its self-cleaning abilities are like nothing I've ever seen. This thread has a video I recently made of one of the vehicles I used EXO on: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/56079-forest-green-jeep-video-21-hrs-exo.html
