Review: Gtechniq EXO v2 Complete Kit

**ntwillie1** · 08-04-2013, 07:48 AM

I have used C1 and topped with Exov1 one of my cars recently - within the past 3 weeks. I will say it beads amazing, and it does pop nicely in terms of glossiness. The only thing that's bugging me a bit about it is that it isn't as slick as I had hoped. Last night I topped the hood w some fuzion just to see if I can get some slickness. If I am not happy w that then fuzion will just wash off in 2 or 3 car washes anyway as it isn't supposed to bond.

Here is an example of the streaks from topping C1 with EXOv2. I checked my work after applying the EXO using the same method and there were none - they appeared the next day and won't wipe off, they will have to be polished off. Very frustrating...

It sounds and looks like a strange chemical reaction. Has anyone tried coating C1 with anything other than EXO? Or use a fairly chemically inert layer like Klasse High Gloss Sealant (mostly acrylic) between the layer of C1 and EXO?

Any answers to why this is doing it yet?

it seems that the issue is if the exo is applied too long after c1 is applied. we recommend applying the exo between 3 and 12 hours after c1 (this is a window - it doesn't matter if you apply at either end of the range).

i had one of our Accredited Detailers visit Radarryan to fix this issue at our expense.

Thanks for the clarification, Rob.

Awesome, thanks!

I applied C1 and EXO v2 today.

Seems to have gone well enough, but there is a learning curve for sure. (I have a nice C1 glove print on my drivers window. Have to scrape that one off!)

I applied EXO v2 about 8 hours after c1. I'll see what happens.

Haven't taken it outside yet, but under the lights it looks like a mirror!

Can waterless washes and spray waxes be applied after the c1 + exo combo? I'm assuming so but just checking.

Also. Can you apply another coat of exo v2 over an existing coat?

Now that a couple months has passed. How did this combo end up turning out?? Any problems with the streaking?? I'm debating on what to do. I have EXO on the way. I may order the C1...
