HOW TO APPLY

  1. Ensure your vehicle is indoors and remains indoors for 12 hours post-application. Avoid direct sunlight during application.
  2. Apply CSL only when the temperature is between 5°C and 25°C.
  3. Shake the product well before use and wear protective gloves.
  4. Wash and decontaminate your vehicle's paintwork thoroughly using W6 prior to application. If necessary, polish the paintwork to remove any imperfections, either by machine or by hand.
  5. Spray Panel Wipe onto a Gtechniq MF1 Microfibre Cloth and wipe down each panel carefully in small sections.
  6. Soak the application pad with 3 full measures of CSL from the pipette, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed within the pad.
  7. Immediately close the bottle after use to prevent premature curing. Do not hold the bottle in your hand during application.
  8. Apply CSL in overlapping strokes to a small area, approximately 2ft by 2ft, or align with the vehicle's body lines for guidance.
  9. After 10 to 15 seconds of application, promptly remove any residue with an MF1 cloth. You may need to buff the area multiple times gently. Utilising two cloths simultaneously is recommended for efficiency and to avoid the CSL curing in the cloth, which complicates residue removal.
  10. Inspect the treated surface with a bright, diffused light source to ensure no residue is left behind.
  11. In cases where residue has cured completely, polish the affected area and reapply CSL.
  12. Immediately place used MF1 cloths in water after finishing, and ensure they are washed and dried as soon as possible.
  13. Allow approximately 2 hours after applying CSL before applying EXOv5 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating or C2v3 Liquid Crystal for additional protection.
  14. Store the CSL in a cool, dry place.
  15. Use the product within 3 months of opening for optimal performance.

      Good stuff

      Easy enough to use for the average car enthusiast. Make sure to use 2x cloths with it, one for the initial wipe off and another to completely dry/wipe etc.

      GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Light works amazing

      The car became a head turner on road! after applying CSL, water slips off the car paint and it help with minimising dirt sticking on the car
