Crystal Serum Light Ceramic Coating for Cars, Protect Car Paintwork, High Shine, Easy to Apply, 30ml (Sufficient for 1 Small-Med Car)-3-5 Years Durability

Superb pro-sumer genuine ceramic coating. I am an amateur car valeter and I look after 6 to 8 family cars. I taught myself to paint correct using a DA 12mm throw machine and a selection of pads and compounds. Now when family buy a new car and the dealer does that upsell of trying to get them to spend a thousand on a ceramic coating they so no, Dad will do it for cost of materials. I have now done 5 cars with GT CSL and if your follow the rules, it is a top class ceramic coating. 1 Wash the car thoroughly and dry. 2 Claybar car to removed bonded contaminants. 3. wash and dry once more. 4 Paint correct using a DA polisher and a fine cut compound. 5 Use IPA or panel prep on each panel, I do this twice. 6 follow the instructions and apply the CSL to half a panel at a time and wait until it flashes over ( 60 secs to 90 secs). Level with one microfibre cloth then buff a wider area with second microfibre cloth. Keep your levelling cloth and your buffing cloth apart from each other, maybe have different colours. Work around the car until you have done all the painted surfaces. Allow to cure undercover for 12 hours. Consider adding two coats of G Techniq EXO on top , again following the guidelines or using a spray topper like G Techniq C2V3. I have another car to do for my DIL so I will be buying another bottle soon. It doesn't matter how old the car is, as long as you do a full decontamination wash and paint correction. the oldest car I have done is 12 years old and it now looks better than showroom condition as there are no swirl marks. I really enjoy working with G Techniq products and my family love having clean , well detailed cars.

Applied to an 18-year-old Honda Civic which now looks new. I have got into detailing in my spare time through YouTube videos and am no professional but this stuff really makes me look like one. Absolutely zero issues whatsoever. No problems with application or any problem spots. Water simply will not sit on my paint and the car looks brand new. I do think it is worth mentioning that preparing the paintwork via clay-bar, polishing and subsequent de-greasing will likely take you significantly longer than actually applying the crystal serum coat, but your level of prep will directly link to how well that coat bonds to your paint and therefore your final shine and length of protection. I am also slightly skeptical about the master instruction sheet telling you to wipe on and then immediately wipe off - I left on for a least a few minutes before taking off again and it's clearly worked but that's just me. 10/10 would recommend. I'd upload more videos if Amazon would let me.

Amazing product

Went on very easily with no fuss. It doesn't haze and is barely visible on the paintwork which is slightly unnerving. I put it onto a brand new car with no swirl marks or paint defects so it was hard to see a huge step up in the finish. It rained the day after the application and you could clearly see the great beading as a result of the coating. Would recommend

Great profuct

Follow the instructions religiously and you will get a very good result. I have done 3 cars myself as a complete amateur and all have worked really well. I add the EXOv5 topper too for the full hydrophobics effect. Don't let anyone kid you that you need to spend £100s on a professional job and ceramic coating is difficult.

Used on my wife’s white car a month ago - makes it so much easier to keep clean now - I applied it outside on a cloudy windless day. Prewash contactless Decon shampoo Clay bar Single stage polish Ceramic

I was a bit hesitant given the price point, but this is truly excellent. Definitely aimed at the DIY customer, with ease of application, but I would suggest at least having some experience. Applied to I30N (same size as Ford focus) and completed the whole vehicle with some liquid left over. Following the steps included was a breeze. If you have a spare weekend to do this I would definitely recommend, the prep is key (I used the Gtechniq panel prep spray). Deep clean and clay bar needed but well worth the effort. Will see how well it holds up throughout the winter then will be buying more to coat other vehicles.

Maravilloso

Works very well, is also very pricey but this lasts 2-3 years and my car is hit by direct sun in the summer. Solid stuff, worth the high price tag when you don't need to consistently apply a wax/sealant for another 2 years. I only wish the bottle had better sealing ability, some of the product after a few years turned hard, to be expected as the bottle is not completely airtight once it's opened. Maybe a rubber gasket or something would help improve that.

This product was recommended to me after doing alot of research on which ceramic coating to use. The ease of use is great as long as you follow the instructions. It provides a lasting coating and shine that I feel is one of the best. The product went on easily and came right off. I couldn't be happier.

I'm one that is always trying new wars etc for cars so I can take care of this non-VOC paints they use now which pale compared to car paints of old for longevity. Prepped my car, washing, stripping, polishing, the works. Since we as nonprofessionals cannot buy the good stuff we are relegated to buying lesser products. I had gtechniqs applied professionally to wife's outback because dealer grade stuff sucked (never buy the ceramic package offered, it's not as hard and is cheaper grade and scratches easily etc. After seeing how her car looked, I wanted to do something to lessen my job caring for my own car ('17 Legacy) i bought this because reviews are generally stellar for g tech. The CSL along with EXO v5 was a simple and very easy process (outside of the prep needed to get to application point). The CSL looked great. I bought the 1oz csl and 1.7 oz EXO. I wish I had bought the larger CSL but I did not coat my front grill area because of the rock chips as I may want to refresh that first. It's hard to know how much to use but as time goes you figure it out. The dropper looks like it has peyronies and it caused me to miss the pad a couple times(the applicator is small, 2-3 fingers at most but effective especially given amount used). CSL is better than C1 from the time between finishing application to being able to apply EXO (2 hrs for CSL, 4hrs for C1). NOTE: if they have them, buy extra application pads in case you drop yours on the ground. Also buy some new and good removal rags as you will need them. I am very happy with results on my car and given that you can refresh the EXOv5 in a couple years without much trouble thus means you can save the CSL from degradation without doing all the extra work. The CSL did fill in some minor scratches but for most part you need to do well correcting. Buy a light for inspecting Buy the Panel Wipe Buy at least a 12 pack of microfiber rags, the low profile (P1) rather than fuzzy ones and mark your wet removal one with a sharpie so you know which one is which. Buy large bottle of EXO to apply 2 coats. Be aware that you will spend a few hundred if you purchase window ceramic and polishes and residue remover BUT if you are detail oriented this system is hands down easy af. I am grateful the GTechniq makes a consumer grade product. I included the products I used but as of yet I have not bought the trim coating for my black rubber straps. I'll wait until full cured so I can tape off safely

So Shiny easy to apply. My bike become protected from swirl scratch and so easy to clean off the dirt, dust and watermark.
