The wait is finally over! EXO v5 is officially here and brings some great improvements from the previous version. The biggest change is that you only need to do one layer of EXO vs two. The reason for this is EXO v5 applies in a much denser layer making it even more durable than before. Thoroughly tested by Gtechniq to work in all sorts of weather conditions with help from universities and product testers alike. While EXO can be used by itself we highly recommend using it as a topper for Crystal Serum Light. You can save money by purchasing CSL and EXO as a Kit. Due to limited availability from the vendor, shipments may be delayed up to one week Box contains 1 x 30ml or 50ml EXOv5 1 x pair of nitrile gloves 1 x AP2 Ultra Soft Foam Filled Applicator 1 x Master Instruction Leaflet 1 x WS1 Gtechniq Window Sticker DIRECTIONS AND PRODUCT GUIDELINES Ensure that you have sufficient product to coat your vehicle. For cars up to and including a medium estate car (eg a BMW 3 series touring) 30ml is sufficient but for full-sized cars (including 4x4s and SUVs) you will need the larger 50ml bottle EXO v5 can be applied as a standalone sealant or as a top layer for Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light (CSL) - we recommend applying CSL as a base coat for easy to mark and dark paints If you are applying over CSL, EXOv4 can either be applied straight away after you have finished applying CSL starting the process at the same place you did with CSL and following the same order of panels you did with CSL, or it can be applied up to 24 hours after finishing the CSL application In addition to this kit you will need at least two but ideally four Gtechniq MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth Ensure that your vehicle is out of direct sunlight but warmer than 5 degrees Celsius, is completely dry and will stay dry for at least 12 hours after application If needed, polish your paintwork either by machine or by hand to remove any imperfectionsWipe down all surfaces using Gtechniq PW Panel Wipeand a Gtechniq MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth (apply the Panel Wipe to the cloth and buff - not directly to the panel) if you are applying over newly applied CSL, this step is not required Put on the nitrile gloves provided Drop several (between 5 and 10) drops of product onto the applicator provided. Work the liquid into the pad to get an even saturation Apply with the applicator provided in overlapping strokes to an area roughly 2' x 2' (60x60cm), or work to the bodylines of the vehicle If the surface of the vehicle is between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, wait for two minutes and then fold your first MF1 twice to form a square, spread and remove most of the residue using a light touch. If the surface is between 15 and 25 celsius wait for one minute and for temperatures above this, remove immediately With your second folded cloth remove all remaining residues. We advise moving your head so that you get direct and oblique views of your finish to spot all residue. It is also advisable to use bright, but flat lighting, to make residue spotting easier Allow the coating to cure for at least 12 hours before getting wet We recommend allowing at least one week pass before washing your car For maintaining your finish we recommend hand washing your vehicle using a Gtechniq WM2 Microfibre Wash Mitt, Gtechniq GWash, and an Gtechniq MF4 Diamond Sandwich Microfibre Drying Towel You will find that your vehicle is significantly easier to clean and whilst EXOv4 has significantly better resistance to caustic wash chemicals these chemicals will shorten the lifespan of any coating and are not recommended as part of your care routine EXOv5 can be overcoated with other products, but if this is done you will get the surface performance of the product you overcoat it with and not EXOv5 An unopened bottle of EXOv5 has a 12-month shelf life from the time of purchase Store opened bottles in a dry and cool storage area that's out of direct sunlight We recommend only using opened bottles within three months of opening
