Gtechniq Crystal Serum light vs Optimum Spray wax

[bcgreen]

I have always used Optimum spray wax and I was wondering if the Gtech is noticeably better?

Two different products. CSL is a coating and Optimum Car Wax is a spray wax. The longer more durable protection will go to CSL.

Two different products...

I`m gonna take an utterly wild guess and assume that the CSL might not be fresh-paint-friendly the way OCW is.

Correct. But I would not be coating fresh paint until after some time.

Yeah, I was just wondering, and bringing it up in case somebody who cares about such stuff checks this thread.

I believe the Gtechniq I am referring to is, It`s a spray on / wipe off product like these spray waxes, but it`s nano-particle based. It`s not the same ceramic you get in a nano coating, but it is silicon. It leaves you with a more hydrophobic surface and one application will last a lot longer than your standard waxes.

Then you are thinking of c2v3 and not CSL. Then you are thinking of c2v3 and not CSL. Take this for what it is worth but I have read that c2v3 is prone to water spots. I only use it here and there as a drying aid for my wheels that have a combination of Gtechniq coatings.

Sounds like gyeon can coat might be a better product for your desires. It is a spray, easy to apply, lasts longer than a wax because it is a coating; but not quite as long as full blown coating.
