Gtechniq EXO Crystal Hydrophobic Car Coating 1 fl oz — Ultra Hydrophobic, High-Gloss Protection

Gtechniq EXO Crystal Hydrophobic is a one-coat, ultra-hydrophobic exterior coating that repels water and dirt while producing a high-gloss, washable finish lasting up to two years.

Designed for automotive exteriors, Gtechniq EXO Crystal Hydrophobic delivers a durable, water-beading barrier that reduces surface contamination and simplifies routine cleaning. The 1 fl oz bottle contains a concentrated formula intended for outdoor use on painted panels, trim and other exterior surfaces. It resists common washing chemicals and road contaminants, and the product is formulated to help remove water spots more easily than uncoated surfaces or some competitor coatings.

How quickly will I see water and dirt bead off after application?

Beading starts as soon as the coating fully bonds and cures on the surface, typically within hours depending on temperature and humidity. Expect immediate visual improvement during the first wash after application and progressively stronger repellency over the first 24–48 hours.

• One-layer application achieves performance—no multiple coats required
• Visible beading and gloss improvement after initial cure
• Performance strengthens within 24–48 hours post-application

What level of durability and chemical resistance does this coating offer?

EXO Crystal Hydrophobic is formulated for long-term outdoor exposure, offering sustained protection for roughly 18 to 24 months under normal use. The cured film is engineered to tolerate routine detergents and many wash chemicals, helping maintain finish integrity through repeated cleanings.

• Estimated longevity: 18–24 months with proper preparation and maintenance
• Resistant to common washing chemicals and road grime
• Helps reduce water-spot formation and makes stain removal easier

Is the product easy to apply and what surfaces can I treat?

Application is straightforward: one layer is sufficient and the process is suitable for most exterior automotive surfaces. Use on painted panels, clear coat, metal trim and other outdoor components following surface preparation instructions for best bonding and longevity.

• One-layer application simplifies the process for DIY users and professionals
• Recommended for exterior surfaces—paint, clear coat, and trim
• Requires clean, contaminant-free surface prior to application for optimal performance

How does EXO Crystal Hydrophobic change vehicle maintenance routines?

By repelling water and dirt, the coating reduces the frequency and effort of thorough washes while helping keep the paint glossy between cleanings. It also facilitates easier removal of water spots and light contamination, cutting down on aggressive scrubbing and helping preserve the finish.

• Less frequent deep cleaning needed due to superior dirt resistance
• Surface stays glossier between washes, improving curb appeal
• Easier removal of water spots and light contaminants compared with untreated surfaces
