I've read a few things about it, but just wondering if anyone here has actually used it or knows much about it?

what are your experiences with the hardness, dirt shedding, gloss? I'm looking to strip the OC off of the sides of my car and try something new... I have been considering the 22PLE, I love the sealant look and the OC doesn't quite give the car that glass look like EXO and PLE claims.

As far as hardness goes... EXO doesn't have much. EXO is the best at dirt repelling, hydrophobicity, and gloss. The best combination for maximum protection is Gtechniq C1 overcoated with EXOv2. Advertised durability is 2 years but with good maintenance practices it will last up to 4 years.
There are a few shots in this video from Gtechniq North America that truly show how good EXO is at keeping the surface clean:

22ple is a nice product but I sell it less than my C1 or EXO services. C1 from what I've seen leaves a better look than 22ple all by itself. But C1 is always overcoated with something else. C1 overcoated with something like C2v2 (or the new C2v3) trumps 22ple in terms of gloss & 'self-cleaning' properties. C1 overcoated with EXO... well, there's really no comparison to any product I've seen.
TrKent:
Q1. Do you retail gtechniq products? I'm looking to buy EXO2 but it may be another week or 2 before its available.
Q2: I know that some detailers use C1 as a base then top it off. Why not just layer EXO2 twice? What advantages are you gaining with C1 (more durability, more gloss...).
Thanks.

I don't sell their products. supposedly the delay had something to do with packaging. I'll be finishing off my sample bottle today. The production version will have slightly more hydrophobic properties so the wait will be worth it. I know everyone at Gtechniq is working around the clock to get this product out.
C1 provides the hardness and scratch resistance while EXO provides the super slick feeling and self-cleaning properties.

I understand that C1 is rather difficult to apply, or was this a previous version of it?

Must've been the old version, I find 22ple and C1 to be a nearly identical application.
