Why use Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer?
C4 utilises a covalent or chemical bond to become an extension of the plastic molecule it's protecting. Not to be confused with much weaker electrostatic bonds used by, amongst others, PTFE-based polymers, C4 swaps part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car's trim.
What this means is that you now have a protective coating of unparalleled durability. Unlike many trim products on the market, C4 is an exceptionally thin (circa 30nm) optically clear film which means that it does not add an unattractive gloss film to the surface; instead, it restores all but the most faded trim to an as-new condition. You can expect up to 2 years' durability from a single application.
Application:
NOTE: EXOv3 can be applied as a standalone sealant or as a top layer for Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer or Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light (CSL) - we recommend applying C1 or CSL as a base coat for easy to mark and dark paints
Make sure before you start you have enough product for all of your trim. For example, if you have a SUV (30ml) you would need more product than you would on a small sedan (15ml)
Work in a well-ventilated area, at a temperature above 5ºC (41ºF) on a cool surface out of direct sunlight. Wear the gloves provided.
Ensure the surface(s) you are going to coat are free from any contaminants.
Use the AP1 Lint-free Applicator supplied to spread the coating onto the surface of your trim. Soak the pad with several drops of product
Once you have spread the product over each piece of trim, gently wipe away residue immediately with a microfiber towel. If your car has heavily textured trim take time to ensure all crevices are covered, and that all residue is also removed from them
Allow the coating to cure for 12 hours before exposing to the elements
Use within 3 months of opening. Store in a cool, dry place.
