This is a 2 month durability update for Gtechniq EXOv4 and CarPro Gliss v2. Gtechniq EXOv4:
CarPro Gliss v2:
The paint was prepped using Sonax Perfect Finish, followed up with Klean Strip Prep-All, the car is daily driven and not garaged. EXO and Gliss are coating level products, delivering 6 months to 2 years of standalone durability, but can also be used as top coat products for their respective line of coatings, like Crystal Serum Light, C1 Crystal Lacquer, and CQuartz UK.
Overall, excellent initial short term performance at 2 months, greatly exceeding visible performance of most waxes and sealants without being topped. EXOv3 was an excellent coating, easily delivering 1+ years of durability on the side of the test car, this will be a test to see how well v4 will hold up. EXO is heavier than Gliss, will require a little more effort to remove after application, but also leaves a slightly darker finish with decent slickness.
The original formula of Gliss gave me many headaches when trying to figure out the best application process to deliver consistent performance, but CarPro greatly improved the application of v2 to yield incredible and consistent results, while leaving behind a slick surface. Ease of application is amazing, if this holds up 6+ months as a standalone, it could be a fantastic beginner coating grade product to recommend.
