Good weekend for gtechniqing

Managed a spring clean on mine and Mrs creepy's Paceman. I love Gtechniq'a C2. It's so easy to use.

I'd be interested to hear about this too. I have exo as the top layer and wanted to get that ultimate shine back...

Another g techniq convert now.

Bought some from Slims detailing. But made the mistake of putting Armourall over the top dulled the shine.

Yesterday put some diluted g techniq on as top of SHINY SHINY

No, straight onto clean coat.

2 washes with a preparation shampoo.
Wipe down with panel wipe.
Buff with a microfiber towel.
Apply C2V3.

Start to finish two hours.

I did it last in September when I bought the car.So lasts 7000 miles or 5-6 month in my case. The car is garaged. And i use a gentle shampoo through the year. Ooo get me.

These spray sealants seem to last a pretty long time from what I'm hearing/seeing. For the price and how easy they are to use it does raise the question as to why you'd use much else?

I've got Sonax BSD mixed with Chemical Guys Hybrid v7 as it was mentioned on Detailing World this combination is the one to beat and like C2v3 (from what I've read about it) it is so quick to apply, gives a nice shine, and protects for as long as I need. I find I don't need anything that lasts longer than 2 months as I want to give the car a good once over by that time to bring it up to scratch anyway.

Going to have to try C2v3 next just to see if it's any better.

Lovely car by the way. Stunning in the sun.

Thanks.

For the £20 the C2V3 cost. It's a no brainer for me.
