Hello @big_pete. Not sure if your going to have some extra/spare time coming up, but would love to see if you could get a reply up at some stage in relation to correct cleaning & maintenance of ceramic coatings. Also interested to hear about correcting techniques for a few small swirls we have on our car (two cars coated with Gtechniq Ultra). Also keen to see what products you recommend. CheersIll construct a proper lengthy reply to this when I have the time over the weekend. As there is so much misunderstanding to what a coating does, how its maintained, how the environment the car is in, the products used on top or during washes etc and ill include a few diagrams that explain it.
If your using carnauba etc based detail sprays for example this will have a massive negative effect on water behaviour (which is what's provided by EXO, not the ceramic, ceramics sheet water) as the wax base then becomes your sacrificial layer and clogs the EXO simultaneously.
As for swirls, we will answer that too as different types of ceramic address it in a different way. They will massivley reduce the rate of defects reappearing, provided you wash the car properly. The one consistant comment we get when doing our care for your ceramic days is that those that attend realise they arent washing their car with the correct technique.
I will create a proper guide on how to wash a car. This is something we recommend everyone learns as it is the very foundation of caring for your cars cosmetic appearance.
As I say I will answer this in detail properly.
@jshek007 we can sort that next week for you
I
Appreciate that would be a lot of work for you, but if your happy to do it it would be greatYea certainly.
I think if I make a video it would be easy for you guys to follow then?
Loads of bargains this morning on gleam freaks. They done every item the have at £1 for one hour
Only from 10 to 11 this morning. Saturday they are gonna do deals too
Yea certainly.

That would be great, even with the Gtechinq applied and a very careful washing technique am I still starting to see some swirling appearing on the car.
I’m not sure if it’s the type of paint on this car or the colour, or perhaps even a combination of both but it’s not something I have really had issues with on previous cars.
We have filmed about half of it so far so should be up this week.
Your car it's colour, even the finest of marks just have nowhere to hide on it. The ceramics just massively slow it down. I doubt it's your wash technique as your other cars have been grand.
Hopefully this video helps
Love this stuff, although you are meant to use it within a certain time scale once opened. When did you open it?I have a 4ltr jar of C2V3 I don’t use if someone wants to make me an offer? About 100ml out of it
I am starting to get the same - coming up to nearly two years from when @big_pete applied Gtechniq Ultra. I'm always anal about how the car is washed, but just noticed on the last wash a few light swirls appearing. Look forward to your video PeteThat would be great, even with the Gtechinq applied and a very careful washing technique am I still starting to see some swirling appearing on the car.
