    I've been looking for a Coating LSP to offer with my packages and this might be it.

    The product itself hasn't been out long enough to truly test its durability, but this is what GTechniq is claiming.

    Needs 48 hours to cure. Not a good thing unless your going to keep your customers car in a garage for 2 days.

    I picked up a couple of cans based on the YouTube videos I've seen. To tell you the truth, I'm not impressed with it. I may have been using to much, but it didn't seem to buff as easily as in the videos. Not sure about durability. I just applied it last weekend.

    What are some other coatings similar that offer ease of application and long durability?

    It could be that you applied to much. If i'm not mistaken Exo is suppose to be applied really thin. I'mn waiting on another review from a buddy who had the chance to try exo a while back as he obtained a sample of it. I do remember him speaking rather highly about it though.

    gotta find the right clients. if you can get say 3 cars out of it that's $60 per application. You would need to be doing a big correction job for the upsell of this product.

    Wolfs Hard Body. 2 yrs of durability and "stupid" easy application via dia.

    This. Pretty easy to squeeze out ~20 cars per bottle IMO.

    Hard Body has 2 years durability?

    I think the main part that is missing from that is "claimed". In my opinion Hard Body has not been out long enough to validate a 2 year life cycle.

    I have been using EXO and its really easy to buff and really easy to apply. Only had it on my truck for a few months though but the beading is good, i can post pictures later if you guys like. Also i believe they said you can 4-6 cars with 1 can at 2 layers a car.

    We just finished applying EXO on an Audi S5, paint, wheels, glass and 3M clear bra.

    So far it is an amazing coating, easy to apply just like the previous Gtechniq coatings, adds more gloss, and is very slick. We followed all the instructions, temperature, wipe down, and 48hrs curing. I'm really amazed at how much gloss it adds, I wasn't expecting this from this type of coating but pleasantly surprised. Not sure exactly how many cars 410ml will do, we used approx. 1/2 can or less(hard to tell with a aerosol) doing two coats, and applying to all exterior areas except trim, the manufacture claims 5-6 cars.

    We have posted some pics and information on our FB and a couple of YouTube videos to show water shedding. Once we get a chance to get the car dirty we will post more up on FB.
