GTechniq is among the best coatings. It is very popular and there is lots of good info and support online. I have gotten to know some of their US guys since they are up the road from me. Great bunch! We do a big charity event every year and they have been awesome sponsors.
I have coated three of my vehicles with GTechniq, including my Raptor. I was always reluctant to put ceramic on my cars but I am a huge fan now. It makes taking care of them a breeze and adds another layer of protection. I did my applications according to what GTechniq recommends. Applying the coatings is very straight forward. Paint correction is where you are going to spend most of your time. If a vehicle is new I would give it quick one or two stage correction to make sure you don’t have any swirls or scratches.
Here’s what I did:
Wash and clay the car
Paint correction as needed
Wash with decontaminate product to remove polishing compound residue
Clean car with GTechniq Panel wipe (can use rubbing alcohol if necessary)
Apply one coat of GT Crystal Serum Light per instructions
Let dry overnight
Apply one coat of GT EXO topcoat
Let dry overnight
Apply second Coat of GT EXO topcoat
Keep away from rain for 24 hours
When you wash, use Beadmaker during the drying process (gives a nice hydrophobic topcoat)
Maintain Every six months with GT C2
The GT products are easy to apply and pretty forgiving. Wipe on and wipe off. If you miss a spot and get hazing just hit that spot with a light buffing compound on an applicator (by hand), re-clean the area and reapply. Once you have had ceramic on your car you will never go back. Good luck!
