Thanks for joining our crowd! Coatings promise to offer more and more years of protection. How is the 3 to 5 number of years of protection delivered by Crystal Light Serum calculated? I believe Gtechniqs max 5 years is tops on consumer grade coatings. Is there some test run by coating manufacturers that gives users a real number or is it a best estimation based on real world usage. I`m not picking on Gtechniqs either, I think this is a fair question for all coating manufacturers.
I really want one of these pro level coatings...

I almost bought some Gtechniq early on. The names were just a little too confusing to me. I couldn`t keep up with what was what. I also don`t want to top my coating with EXO to get the results I desire. I am sure they are great products, but I prefer others.

The whole notion of topping coatings with other coatings is nuts imo. If a single application of any coating won`t last me at least two years I`m not wasting my time or money on it.

Awesome question we run tons of tests real world as well as in weathering facilities, so we can best estimate a coating longevity. But in all fairness to all coatings it all comes down to how they are treated! As far as topping it is not necessary with our products. If you are looking for hardness Crystal Serum Light as a standalone is the hardest. If you want crazy slickness and hydrophobic properties EXO is your best bet. Now it you want that hardness and you want the most longevity Crystal Serum Light topped with EXO would be best of both worlds. This would give you a 18-24 month sacrificial coating on top of your 3-5 year base coat. It all depends on what you are looking for, and IMO opinion our line is second to none in ease of application and durability.

I appreciate the information. I really don`t have a problem topping my coating. It seems to be the rule instead of the exception for coating manufacturers. I always top my coatings with something, but that is for my own personal pleasure. I now have to decide if I need a coating to last that long. Three years is usually the max I keep a car.
