Gtechniq C2v3: Versatility and Protection in a Bottle

Gtechniq C2v3 has become a staple in my shop, and for good reason. It’s ease of use, versatility, and performance have basically taken over the waxes in the product cabinet. It’s a spray on, wipe off product, allowing easy work around the car, and not only high hydrophobic properties, but also very high gloss with surprising durability. The time to performance ratio here is of great value.

The uses for C2v3 are endless. We use it after coating cars right before delivery, after every wash on a coated car, on wheels, glass, as an engine bay dressing, as a stand-alone, and for that client that “just wants a wash”. It takes an extra 10 minutes and makes a big difference in the overall appearance while using very little product, thus less money for extra great results.

If applying on paint, glass, or over a coating, we use two microfibers. One that stays as your final pass, “dry wipe”, and another for actually applying the product onto the surface. 2-4 mists on the first microfiber will get the towel primed. Then apply down the middle of the panel, and snake it across, ensuring even coverage. Come back with your other towel, and “buff” the remaining product off revealing high gloss protection, no matter the surface. Gtechniq recommends two coats for best performance. After you try it, all you’ll need are the 5L sizes!

Pro Tip: Label Transfer of the C2v3 5L label, which was transferred onto a bottle for that clean, professional look. Big thanks to a good friend, Buk’s Lgd for the great photo.

This is C2v3 applied over the top of Gtechniq CSU as well as EXO. If you don’t know by now, I am a Gtechniq Accredited Detailer, so C2v3 is used on top of EVERY coating job. Notice the matte painted hood. C2v3 was used on this as well.

Natural beading from C2v3 only after a light rain. Not only is it great on coatings, but it’s also an amazing stand-alone product. If you haven’t yet, grab a bottle for yourself today!
