A great explanation of the bare bone basic theory principles of how each coating differentiates, while also making it engaging for a layman like me.

Thank you for the wonderful explanation about these coatings. I just finished putting the eXO on my car after a long prep to get the crystal light serum applied. I was surprised the last time I used this product Itseemed like it stayed cleaner from dust longer, and your explanation helps me understand that now. Again a wonderful explanation, thank yourbuddy in the white lab coat!

Great video. How important is it to keep out of sunlight and rain for the first 12hrs.. for example is sporadic weak sun leaking around awning would that hurt?
@high-defdetailing14855 ай бұрын
Love these deep dives!! The explanation of the composite chemistry was fantastic. I would love to hear from Lee about the window of time for when Exo is applied over CSL or csu to function properly. Can you actually lose performance if you apply it too late after the base layer application?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. What about putting a wax on top?
@GtechniqUK14 күн бұрын
We do not recommend applying any wax over the top of EXO as this may clog or interfere with the hydrophobic properties. All you need to do is wax the surface and apply a spray sealant every now and again.
@larsenttif5 ай бұрын
I love videoes like this. Things got clearer, but also a little bit confusing. Is CSL a hydrophillic coating which requires a topper if you want the surface to be hydrophobic?
@GtechniqUK5 ай бұрын
CSL does have some hydrophobic properties but these do die off after a while and the coating then becomes hydrophilic. It is for this reason we always recommend applying EXO over the top.
@buvik10016 күн бұрын
Great video. So this basically means you need or should reapply EXO every 2 year?
@GtechniqUK14 күн бұрын
Yes, that is correct although the 2-year claim is based on a daily driver. If the vehicle is only driven occasionally, the EXO may last longer.

If the ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paint, then why would it be gone after 5 years? Do the chemical bonds slowly pull away over 5 years?
@GtechniqUK3 ай бұрын
It will abrasion that removes the coating - things like washing, drying detailing etc.
@fahimhikes5 ай бұрын
Great explanation. Question. Are they acid repellent too? For example, a dried bird poop leaves acid marks on car body and they are hard to remove in some cases. Will the two layer ceramic protect from those acid marks as well?
@OnTrackDetailing5 ай бұрын
In my experience most "bird poop" marks are not from the acid, but it from heat Bird poop acts like a shadow on the paint - Heat from sun heats up surrounding area more than the area covered with poop, hence the outline is visible usually but not much if anything in the actual centre Not always, but most of the time, this is the cause for bird etching.
@GtechniqUK5 ай бұрын
Great question. They are resistant to chemicals in the range of pH2 - pH 13. In some cases it is not acid it is the heating (and contraction) of the paint around the bird poo mark. In most cases you can use hot water to remove the stain by reflowing the paint - there is a good video showing this here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9lneZOCr5eln3U.html

Exo V5 over C1? would that work.. and secondly, could Exo V5 be used for the PPF or is it Halo V2 only. TIA
@GtechniqUK3 ай бұрын
EXO over C1 does work, you just need to leave it 4 hours before overcoating with EXO. For PPF we recommend HALO.

Is there an advantage of polysiloxane to polysilazane?
@GtechniqUK5 ай бұрын
Polysiloxanes and polysilazanes both offer similar properties. It is not a black and white, one is better than the other answer. How the coating performs is dependent on the nature of reactive side groups (functionality), the particle size distribution and quantity of the silica nanoparticles, and the polarity of the carrier solvent. Gtechniq has developed our ceramic formulations, based on the above, to optimise ease of application, hydrophobic function, dirt repellence, cleanability, scratch and mar resistance, and durability.

您好,請問ultra使用靜止超過4小時之後,可以再塗ExoV5嗎?
@GtechniqUK3 ай бұрын
Yes, but we don't advise leaving it for more than a day for optimum performance
We advise applying EXOv5 to one small panel at a time. for larger panels you will want to split them into 4 or 6 sections depending on size. You can use Ultra as a stand-alone product but Ultra topped with EXO will give maximum performance as explained in the video.
Can't hurt your bottom line to buy two bottles of product instead of one LOL $$$$ Imma gonna git me 4-5 layers. That should make it bullet proof, right?
