About Crystal Serum Light

Crystal Serum Light is the prosumer version of the world famous Gtechniq Accredited Detailer Crystal Serum Ultra. It offers 80% of professional Serum Ultra's performance, but if applied incorrectly can be machine polished from your vehicle's paintwork.

When it comes to adding gloss, resisting swirls, contaminant and dirt repellency, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Serum Light are the pinnacle in paint protection. Serum Light forms an ultra-durable, high-gloss, slick to the touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of 9h optically clear ceramic. Once applied, gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for significantly longer when compared to traditional paint protection products, and cleaning your car will be a breeze.

The high density ceramic layer is resistant to chemicals ranging from pH2 to pH12. This characteristic also makes bonded contaminants such as tree sap, tar, and hard water spots easy to remove. Unlike mainstream wax and organic polymer coatings, Serum Light resists a much wider temperature range.

How to use it

Make sure your vehicle is indoors and can stay indoors for 12 hours after application. Do not apply in direct sunlight
Only apply the product at a temperature between 5°C and 25°C
Shake well and wear gloves
Wash and decontaminate your paintwork thoroughly prior to application. If required, polish your paintwork, either by machine or hand, to remove any imperfections
Spray a panel wipe or prep spray onto a clean plush microfibre cloth and wipe down each panel in small sections
Soak the application pad with 3 full measures of CSL from the pipette and work the liquid into the pad to get an even saturation
Replace the lid on the bottle and set aside: do not keep the bottle in your hand as this promotes premature curing
Apply in overlapping strokes to an area roughly 2ft by 2ft, or work to the bodylines of the vehicle
Immediately remove residue with a clean plush microfibre cloth: you may need to buff the same area several times, but avoid doing it with too much force. We recommend using 2 cloths at any one time, rotating them during residue removal to stop CSL curing in the cloth, which makes buffing difficult
Inspect the surface for residue with a bright, diffused light source
If residue is left behind and it cures fully, you should polish the area and reapply CSL
As soon as you finish, put your cloths in water, then wash and dry them as soon as possible
If you are layering, wait approximately 2 hours after applying CSL before applying EXOv5 on top
Store in a cool, dry place
Use within 3 months of opening

Need the prep gear too?

Our Crystal Serum Light Ceramic Coating Kit pairs CSL with the prep spray, applicator, plush cloth and take-off microfibres, so you have everything the directions above call for in one box. If you want the layered system we install on customer cars, the CSL + EXO kit adds the hydrophobic top layer.
