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

on the tailgate with csl im thinking a csl topper test of
Cure
C2V3
PBL coating booster
and,, (looks around for Ron...then clears throat) Reload

and leaving a control of course

its gotta be four products plus the control- and they`re all gonna be sprays too- so that`s about what I got to choose from

once I have a little bit of csl left from the next Helcat I do- I will be coating the drivers side of the bed for a EXO topping showdown (zaino layer style- haha)

does 5 coats of Exo on top of CSL play better than 7 or 8 ? well that`s something I`m curious to find out (and I just realized I wrote that backwards-ha)

csl on all side of the pass bed, added c2v3 on right side- noticeable darkening effect even at 8am

Tailgate got all csl, taped off lower section under the nissan logo and added cure on left (drivers) side and c2v3 on other..both added 24 hrs after csl applied for fairness sake

Just a quick update- It has only been washed twice, period. Once with P101 shampoo before I coated the rest of the passenger side and c2v3 only on driver side.

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
 
Day 27 on hood
Day 12 on rest of truck
Couldn`t resist...
Finally a good rw and a topper
Sorry but that bubba test will never make it, lol

Did you notice a change in hydrophobic properties using it over Exo?

Now that i think about it, i actually have no c2v3 on the exo areas. I will edit that

the exo areas are just exo

I definitely noticed a change on top of the csl!

this truck does not want to get dirty

it does not stay very dirty

I like!

drove in the rain again today..the rain just cleaned off the hood, that`s about all- lol

sides were not very dirty either

the PBLv2 vs CSL side - you can CLEARLY see how much better CSL is at shedding things as opposed to PBLv2 - its night and day difference - CSL side is almost clean - PBL - dirt marks on it

When you take your road trip to Detailer`s Fest, I hope you make a wrong turn and end up in my neck of the woods. Then, you can do my car.

I want my car to stay cleaner, and for longer!

And thanks for the update
 
I left a small bird bomb on the hood for about 6 days (the CSL only middle) baking in the sun

I wiped it off with a Kleenex just a few mins ago, came off like butter!

no mark either- nice
