RE: GTechnique products for a new car - Evo-king - 13-10-2012 03:00pm
Nut, I know it's a bit late now, but Rob Earle was giving forum members a fixed discount when you set up an account with them, if you haven't got it, you've got nothing to loose by asking.
Regarding Exo, according to my detailer I was one of the first in the UK to have my Evoque detailed with Exo, my lads car followed suit. As you know applying Exo is temperature dependant, not a problem where you reside though. Anyhow, the shine and water repellence (hydrophobic properties) is better than C1 etc, but I understand C1 is slightly harder.

My detailer said, that C1 + EXO is ultimate protection, which give you the hard shield of C1 and shine a water repellence of EXO.
This week I am ordered for complete Gtechniq detailing of my new baby. I will post pictures afterward.

Defeats the purpose of c1 why use c1 when Exo does all and both needs to bond to fresh paint so if putting on top of each other ? No need for c1 and Exo to be used together !

C1 for scratch protection (exo does not protect against scratch), then over C1, exo. .
You can check it at Gtechniq website: http://gtechniq.com/shop/
Click on the left side, the red "Compare" button
These are the combinations:
C1 over coated with C1.5
Gtechniq EXO
Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer
Gtechniq C1.5 Silo Seal
Gtechniq C2 Liquid Crystal
C1 over coated with EXO
Try all of them and you will see the results

Who told you that pressurised containers cannot be shipped out to Australia? They are talking absolute rubbish. I work in shipping and we carry bulk shipments under pressure in every single cargo. I think what they were waffling about was airfreight - yes pressurised (aerosols) containers cannot go by plane. So if you want that product get it sent out by surface carrier not airfreight, it will cost you extra as, yes, it is considered a hazardous cargo, but we carry way more dangerous products on our ships than car polishes.

Hey X,
I'm sure I probably could have gotten EXO sent by surface I didn't really look into it that far, I was referring to air transport. It's unfortunate that we are disadvantaged with new products here down under, it always seems that we're months behind the rest of the world. Either way I'm still happy, from what I've read C1.5 is still a great product and when it wears off, however long that may be, then ill apply EXO if its available in Australia.
