Last Surface Protection
Ceramic-grade hydrophobia that actually lasts
EXOv5 goes beyond a standard sealant - it lays down a hard ceramic film that resists road salt, wash chemicals and micro-marring while pushing water off the surface aggressively. One application, up to two years of protection.
Why EXOv5
Built for Protection. Refined for Gloss.
Four reasons professional detailers reach for EXOv5 as their go-to LSP.
-
Hard Ceramic Film
Forms a consistent, tough layer that resists road salt, fallout and a wide range of wash chemicals.
-
Extreme Hydrophobia
Water beads and sheets off aggressively, keeping the surface cleaner between washes.
-
High-Gloss Finish
Delivers a warm, high-gloss result with a good degree of swirl and micro-marring resistance.
-
Two-Year Durability
Up to two years of protection from a single application, outlasting conventional waxes and sealants by a significant margin.
EXOv5 vs. the Alternatives
Not all LSPs are equal
Traditional waxes and polymer sealants have their place, but when you stack them against a dedicated ceramic LSP like EXOv5, the differences in durability and chemical resistance become clear.

Engineered for Application
Slow flash, no stress, a flawless result
Most coatings punish you for any hesitation. EXOv5 is formulated with a slow flash-off time so you can work a full panel at your own pace, achieving an even, streak-free film before levelling off with a microfibre cloth.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can EXOv5 be applied to?
EXOv5 is designed for use on paint, and is also suitable for bikes, boats and automobiles. It can be applied over bare paint, existing ceramic coatings and PPF. Always ensure the surface is fully decontaminated and dry before application.
How do I apply EXOv5?
Apply EXOv5 to a clean, decontaminated surface using a suede or foam applicator block. Work in small sections, spreading the product evenly. The slow flash-off time gives you more working time than most coatings, so you can achieve an even layer without rushing. Once flashed, level with a clean, plush microfibre cloth.
What is the flash time and cure time for EXOv5?
EXOv5 has a deliberately slow flash-off, which makes it more forgiving to apply than faster-flashing coatings. Full cure typically requires 24 hours away from moisture and washing. Avoid water contact, rain and heavy condensation during this period to allow the film to harden properly.
How long does EXOv5 last?
Gtechniq specifies up to two years of durability from a single application. Longevity depends on preparation, application quality and how the vehicle is maintained. Using a pH-neutral shampoo and avoiding harsh wash chemicals will help the coating reach its full service life.
Can EXOv5 be layered or applied over other Gtechniq products?
Yes. EXOv5 is commonly used as a top coat over Gtechniq Crystal Serum or C1 Crystal Lacquer as part of a layered protection system. It is formulated to bond over cured ceramic base coats and adds the extreme hydrophobic top layer that makes maintenance washing easier.
What coverage can I expect per bottle?
Coverage varies by panel size, surface texture and how thinly the product is spread. EXOv5 is available in 30ml and 50ml sizes. The 50ml bottle suits larger vehicles or multiple-panel jobs, while the 30ml is practical for a single car or supplementary top-coat applications.
Does EXOv5 protect against water spots?
Yes. The hard film EXOv5 forms means water spots sit on the surface rather than bonding to it, making them significantly easier to remove with a quick detailer or plain water wipe-down. This is one of the practical advantages of a true ceramic LSP over traditional waxes and sealants.
What finish does EXOv5 leave and does it suit dark paint?
EXOv5 produces a high-gloss, warm-looking finish. The description of a warm tone makes it a solid choice on dark and deep-coloured paint where depth and gloss are priorities. The added swirl resistance in v5 also means the surface stays looking clean for longer between maintenance washes.
