    How hard to remove crystal serum light and exo?

    I polished out my hood to perfection to test csl topped with exov2. Well apparently my microfiber i used to wipe the excess product off must have had a speck of something hard on it and it put light swirl like scratches all over the hood. They are very light and you can only see them in direct sun light but being a little OCD about my Grand cherokee srt makes me want to polish it back out and do the hood over. I am wondering how hard it is to remove CSL? I know crystal serum pro has to be sanded but how hard is CSL? Will a UHS pad and UHS polish be enough or would something like M105 and a rupes blue microfiber pad be needed?


    P.S. I washed my truck today for the first time since doing the hood a few days ago. EXOV2 is the most hydrophobic coating I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible!

    A light polish should be all you need.

    Found this on the GTechniq site:

    Why use Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light?

    Crystal Serum Light is the prosumer version of the world famous Gtechniq Accredited Detailer only Crystal Serum - a coating so hard that if applied incorrectly can only be removed by using 1,500 grit sand paper.

    Serum Light offers 80% of Professional Serum’s performance, but if applied incorrectly can be machine polished from your vehicle’s paintwork.

    When it comes to adding gloss, resisting swirls, contaminant and dirt repellency, Gtechniq Crystal Serum and Serum Light are the pinnacle in paint protection.

    That`s a good question, a strong polish with Meguiars M105 or my favorite M100 will get the job done. We also recommend new towels whenever you do a coating. I hope this helps let me know if there`s anything else you need.

    Maybe you could get some of that wax stripping car wash...
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    For fresh csl I have used rupes nano with green pad and essence on 5 with pressure

    For the one high spot my friend found on his fender, that was 3 weeks old, it took same tool but ssr2.5
