    it`s quite ridiculous

    take this example of a hood wet with water in the morning

    I drive about a mile to get to the access road to the interstate though residential areas on a road with a 30mph speed limit

    once my truck hits about 22mph the CSL + EXOv2 side starts to move the water off that section of the hood- while literally Nothing is happening on the CSL and EXOv2 only sides (until I make a right turn onto the access road and the larger CSL beads make their way to the CSL + EXOv2 side and fly off the hood

    at 25 the CSL+ EXOv2 is already moving and by the time I get to 40 it`s almost all off the truck

    the CSL and EXOv2 only sides take Highway speeds to start moving off (that`s 70mph btw)

    the difference is Night and Day when you top CSL with EXOv2 based on my experience

    I`m curious to see how my CSL + EXOv2 vs CSL + EXOv3 test turns out (will share that eventually) because v3 has 5-10 degrees less of contact angle...part of me thinks its not going to be as good as v2 AS A TOPPER for CSL... which is why I plan to test them side by side to see for myself


    as a side note the fender that has 6 or 7 or even maybe 8 layers of EXOv2 on it is still performing at 100% as it was after applied....

    I think you need at least 4 layers of EXOv2 minimum...but who has time for that? (besdies me,lol)

    hosed down
    RW with flake
    dried with large pfm towel
    applied zirkon to entire truck and chrome- via mf applicator block-definitely worked better than spraying on the panel or towel






    officially a goldfinger member now, lol

    your far left: exov2, middle: csl, far right csl+exov2
    one week shy of 6 months..this time I washed with pblv2 shampoo and rinsed

    decontamination wash 1.15.17 and only one wash since then but I have used toppers which have assisted the exov2 and csl sections a bit. the combo side, well it has stayed pretty much the same, even when dirty it beads and sheets ike crazy


    this is csl in middle vs csl+exo on right


    exov2 (either 7 or 8 layers, I forgot how many I ended up doing to be honest) and its at a week or so over 5 months


    csl+exov2 on the door - a week or so above 5 months


    this is the pblv2 vs csl door (the passenger rear door), left half has pblv2

    It`s been about two weeks since I put all the products above on the truck

    In those two weeks the truck has only been rinsed with high pressure soap/water once. (about a week ago) and then I drove off and came back to the coin op and wiped it down with a WW towel and Spray and Gloss- vehicle was almost clean already but the lower panels needed a little bit of help from the cleaning properties of Spray and Gloss

    this truck has also been through three rain storms before that time and it BARELY gets dirty. it`s kind of nice, actually

    I plan to wash it again this evening as its supposed to rain the rest of the week and I kind of like seeing all the different beads on the truck.

    I think I`m gonna wash it with something that has some wax in it for that added wax depth.

    I took a few videos of the wash but its nothing that I haven`t posted before- but the fun part was seeing the multiple layers of EXOv2 on the passenger fender just shed off water like a madman, lol

    The CSL w C2V3 is PHENOMENAL- almost as good as the CSL w EXO on top .. considering the ease of applying the CSL + C2V3 (spray), its definitely going to be my 1-2 punch with CSL from now on.

    Hell, even the C2v3 side alone offers some pretty intense water behavior and shedding ability. there are just tiny little dirt beads with trail marks down the sides of my truck indicating they were dashing across the surface quite a ways
    Ah...here it is! This might be my next combo.

    Wow...can actually see the line between 2 and the somewhat darker c2v3 side. We have all dark cars so I like the stuff that darkens a bit

    csl+ c2v3 does almost the same thing as csl+exo but just not as intensely and not for as long

    update

    hasnt been given proper wash since 2.8.17 but was hosed down and rw with n914 on 2.12.17

    yesterday, 3.23.17 the truck was given a much needed bath with Poorboy`s foam and super slick and suds

    Poorboys SS and Foam PreSoak Shampoo 1st use impressions

    it was dirty










    topped hood with qd+ for fun


    keep in mind hood was given a decontamination wash on 1.15.17 where the beading and sheeting to exoV2 and csl only sides was restored
    csl+exo has still been essentially bullet proof the entire 7 months and 1 week thus far

    here is the water after the sss final rinse
    once again, to your far left (passenger side of hood) exoV2x2, middle is csl and your far right (drivers side) is csl+exoV2x2
    all at roughly 7months 1 week
    all given a decontamination wash on 1.15.17
    i flooded hood and put down hose and grabbed phone, so maybe 10 seconds of water sitting on there just fyi, sorry no video this time


    up close

    exoV2x2


    csl


    csl+exoV2x2


    other reporting from rinse stage on passenger side coatings

    tailgate csl split with topper of cure and c2v3 still both bead and the control in middle sheets but doesnt bead

    passenger bed csl and csl+c2v3 appears to be looking good. the c2v3 section still beads better

    pbl vs csl rear passenger door, pblv2 os flat and appears gone again, csl sheets but not that great at beading, but much better than csl on hood which is only 2 weeks or so older

    csl drivers door has csl and csl+exoV2x2 splits and the combo is still cherry and wonderful to watch when rinsing off

    exoV2 x6,7or8 layers on fender is still a bead monster and the only thing coming close to my csl+exo combo but still not as impressive and much less practical to apply

    on drivers side I added mckees hydro blue spray coating to the doors and side windows since its supposed to rain tomorrow, id like to see how it plays in the rain

    thats all for now

    Re: Holy sheet: EXO v CSL v CSL w/EXO - A longevity test

    if I use CSL on a car, what is the time frame to top with EXO? Does it have to be right away or can it be a while down the road?

    This is from their web page.

    If you are applying over CSL, EXOv3 can either be applied straight away after you have finished applying CSL starting the process at the same place you did with CSL and following the same order of panels you did with CSL, or it can be applied up to 24 hours after finishing the CSL application

    I never re read the directions after the first time and I think the v2 said up to 12 so that`s where I got that from. I just wait an hour or so and apply the exo
    I read someone waited 24 hours on a post and it seemed to be ok for them as well
    was that you? I don`t recall
