    Gtechniq exo

    Looking at getting GTECHNIQ EXO, has anyone applied just the EXO and not on top of anything else? Would like to know how it is as a stand alone coating.

    Re: Gtechniq exo

    I have not applied it but my buddy back in Long Island NY who is on this forum, (Mediscott) is an Opti-Pro dealer. His customer came in and asked for EXO. After the application Scott sent me the pics and gave it a great review.

    V2 is out now and it supposedly has good UV protection (Which is what we need here in AZ) and better longevity than V1. We don't care about water beading out here (cause it doesn't rain like back East...) but UV is the killer out here.


    If you get it and try it, let us know your experience...

    You can apply it as a standalone product. However, it was designed to top C1 or CSL.

    Check out this thread.

    I will. I just don't have a lot of time and hesitant to pay the price of the CSL and EXO combo. From what I read it's good as a stand alone but most have applied after the CSL

    Re: Gtechniq exo

    I just got my EXO v3 in and am hoping to apply it as a stand alone on my z06....it's a garage King so it won't see any monsoon storms nor be outside a whole lot....but it'll be nice to get a coating on it and not have to worry about protection for a long time, just maintenance washes here and there.

    my only thing stopping me right now though is it's 105* plus here and even in my garage it's like 90* and I'm not sure if that's too hot and the coating will flash too fast??

    Since I'm right down the road from you that's one of my concerns as well, applying it when it's summer here in AZ. Others have said it's fine but you have to work faster. Which in this heat can be hard.

    Apply in small sections.

    And here I thought I was the only one in Chandler..

    I used CQ in my garage the other day. Had to knock down two high-spots and re-coat. I did not have quick flash time. With EXO, I never used it so I'll defer to Kevin.

    Yeah I'm in maricopa

    I've never done a coating before so little nervous about it. Can you feel the high spots or just see them?

    Both... Don't be nervous, it's nothing that can't be corrected.
