Anyone used gtechniq car care products

Month and a half and my Zed gets a correction and then black with two coats of exo.

You might be better off with a coat of Crystal Serum Light and then top that with Exo...

Why?

Crystal Serum Light is the 'non-pro' version of Crystal Serum and it's a scratch, swirl and chemical resistant coating whereas Exo is for gloss and sheds dirt/water easily

The combination of CSL and Exo is one recommended by GTechniq for competent non-professionals (they sell a combined pack of the two at a reduced price). The full-blown Crystal Serum (topped with Exo) is only recommended if it's being done by a pro as, according to GTechniq, Crystal Serum is very hard to remove and, if you make an error, you're looking at wet sanding to remove it

Sorry bit of misunderstanding. It is being applied by a pro. They actually do some of the training for new franchises.

No probs for applying and fully insured.

In that case, I'd be asking for a quote for Crystal Serum topped with Exo (there's a treatment called CS Black which is CS topped with two coats of Exo) and see what the difference is - read some of the reviews of Crystal Serum for yourself and see if you think it's worth the extra

For what the difference is when it's in just get the whole shebang thrown at it is my view

Of course

Alan is a good guy. I went to visit him before booking and Ed (Silva) who is also a detailer who I met today also knows him.

It was your initial post which pointed me in the direction of AMdetails and after I had started using their chemicals.

Good Stuff - The Fiesta is just back a Black Package ... Very pleased.

I finally purchased a bottle of gtechniq C5 wheel armour.
I spent about a HR on each wheel, removing, washing, clay bar to remove tar and drying before adding the C5.
The C5 is very easy to work with.
I've taken a picture of results but more importantly I'll let you know in a couple of months time if it's holding up to be as good as they say.

Two months on and the C5 is working brilliantly.
You still get the normal coating of brake dust but it's a lot easier when it comes to cleaning your wheels, can't rate this enough ️️️️️

c4 is brilliant for restoring trim as well

Just watched it. Looks good. I haven't booked the engine bay but I think I may add this on the day.

 

[ZermattV]

Just had the M-Sport Bay Done

Looks great. That is a new car though and although the engine bay of my Zed is the cleaner I have had in any car I have owned it will interesting to see all the wee nooks and crannies.

I am sure it will be spot on.

Need to remember some before and after shots.
