Thank you Sean! I was just curious. Like to see everybody's opinions and different method combinations.

- Hasn't been out that long so I can't testify to it's longevity.
Seems like AG doesn't supply this product anymore? Thats a bummer...
You say its one of the best coatings? What other consumer coatings would you rate in the same or higher range?

I think they're just out of stock on some of the stuff.... like even the bigger size panel wipe spray was out of stock but it looks like they just got some back.

Re: Crystal Serum Light
Does anybody in this thread know how much CSL and EXO is used for each vehicle, I have a Toyota tundra which is pretty much a full sized truck. Do i need a 30ml bottle, or do i need a 50ml bottle? any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Crystal Serum Light
When I did my brothers Escalade I would guess I used about 35 of the CSL and about 25~30 of the EXO for 1 coat of CSL and 2 of the EXO. So I would guess 30 of each would be real close.

Re: Crystal Serum Light
I wound up getting the truck coated. A year later you can't tell anything was ever done, but I never topped it with anything. I was told I should have. As of right now I say it wasn't worth the $500 I spent. It looked great when it was done. But, so would a polish and a wax. I was hoping it would help it clean up easier and keep water spots at bay easier.
If I do it again I'll do it myself. It would be more worth the money then. Scares me a little though.

Seeing as you posted in this thread you had Crystal Serum Light applied?
How was the vehicle cared for? What kind of environment was it exposed to?

Re: Crystal Serum Light
Yes sir. Csl applied professionally. Looked fantastic.
Washed using the two bucket method and a grit guard. Washed with a microfiber mitt from this site and dried with guzzler waffle weaves. These days it's no different than before I had anything done. Water doesn't bead any differently, water spots, it doesn't clean up any easier, etc. My detailer told me to keep those properties it probably needed a light polish in between, but definitely some sort of coating (wax or sealant.).
But, at that point, what's the point? Just naked paint but with a coating of wax or a sealant applied frequently beads water and cleans up easier than not.
Environment? Just outside in South Carolina.

I would try a decontamination wash to see if it is revives it's performance. The coating is still there but it has more than likely lost it's hydrophobic properties. There is a good chance it is contaminated and that is masking the coatings properties.
