Some gtechniq reviews


Today I gave my Old SKool TL a Gtechniq make over. I cleaned my car with a waterless wash, this time instead of BFWW I used Meguiars D114. I mixed almost .5oz in 32oz of distilled water. Cleaned the car and windows from top to bottom; first I polished the windshield with G4, it was fairly easy to use but make sure you tape up your trim!!! Or else you will have beautiful trim like mine:wall. When I do my TSX and Wife CRV I will make sure I use tape.
After letting G4 haze over I removed it with D114 and a MF, then I applied G1, this was easy and straight forward, the bottle says to do 3 coats which I did. Let it haze for 15 mins.
Now the fun part, removing G1 with the G2 was not fun. You have to apply it in small sections at a time and quickly wipe off or else it dries back up. Removing the G1 with G2 was the most tedious part. To finish off I took a MF and wiped the excess.

Next I used the C1.5 Silo Seal. First a word for Gtech, the bottle is bloody crap. The spray nozzle was leaky and wasted a lot of product, and even around the rim were the nozzle goes in leaked.
The product itself is great; it has a milky consistency and no smell. I did two coats, wiping the product my towel felt grabby and I was expected more a slick finish. After the second coat I didn’t see much of a different.
So I wanted to see how water would bead down the road...., well about an hour later I go to the gym and when I get out of the gym and its raining!!! So I got beading shots too.










Old Skool meets new Skool

I will be doing my black car next with G1:rockon

Enjoy Dhaval

I placed an order for the Gtechniq glass sealant kit yesterday, super excited about it. I didn't however order the Glass polish, I'll probably just hit my glass with some Menzerna or something to make sure its good and clean then an IPA wipe down before I seal it.

When I do my TSX I am going to clay, and then IPA wipe down. Ill report how it works out.
