Gtechniq C2V3

bsmf8x · 06-16-2020, 06:49 AM

Anyone use this? I've been hearing it works wonders on YouTube. It's basically a ceramic sealant that lasts for a few months.

Don't wanna ceramic coat cuz I need a whole paint correction due to swirl marks and all that and this is an easy cheap DIY to glossify & give my paint hydrophobicness.

I have black sapphire paint

I have heard it is good, but I would go Sonax PNS instead. Very good longevity and easy to apply (if you follow directions... go light).

Also if you need a paint correction, and you have time and patience, buy yourself a DA polisher and some products and do it yourself. Start up cost is about half the price of a good detail.

I use Gtechniq C2V3...is good product. Super easy to apply. I highly recommend it.

C2V3 is good, use it as a topper over gtechniq cs ultra.

I’m a huge PNS fan, but C2V3 is the better product here.

I have used the complete Gtechniq line since day one. Great results and longevity. Just picked up a second Gtechniq kit for my 2020 Ford 150. Full sealant and protection underway.

I agree. Went from PNS to C2V3 and haven't looked back. Nice and slick and the shine was better, IMO. Scary easy to use. Next time I strip her down, Im going to give the CLS a try.

Yes, ceramic myself.

1 - Start with fall out remover and foam wash to thoroughly clean the vehicle.
2 - Park in garage and let dry completely overnight.
3 - Panel wipe entire surface.
4 - Apply ceramic coating to exterior body panels
5 - Apply trim restorer to all plastic/rubber surfaces.
6 - Top off with Hydrophobic Sealant. (I prefer Gtechniq Exo)

For the wheels I use Wheel Armor...Remove wheels and clean/wash with fall out remover, coat with wheel armor and top off with Exo. I did the wheel face and barrels for ultimate protection.

I also love C2V3. I have gtechniq ultra on my car and I use this as a booster every couple months after a good wash. It's super easy to use and adds lots of gloss and adds enhanced dirt/water repellent properties. I also use it on my wheels/calipers. I'm going to buy another bottle and dilute it to use as a drying agent/quick Detailer for post wash.

My daily is a new Tacoma that I never got ceramic coated, instead I washed it well and used C2v3 only and it cleans up super nice and also repels dirt/water better than it did without it.
