EXO and Crystal Serum Light

Crystal Serum Light excels at gloss enhancement, chemical resistance, and protecting your car's paint from swirl marks and light scratches. However, EXOv5 offers significantly better hydrophobic properties. Combining them gives you outstanding durability and scratch resistance from Crystal Serum Light, plus extreme water-beading performance from EXO—comprehensive vehicle protection that neither product achieves alone.

Proper application starts with thorough surface preparation. Hand wash your vehicle using a neutral soap, then decontaminate using a clay bar. If your paint has swirl marks or light scratches, perform paint correction before coating. Wipe down all surfaces with Panel Wipe and a microfiber towel to ensure the surface is completely clean. Never apply in direct sunlight, and keep your vehicle indoors for at least 12 hours after application.

While Crystal Serum Light can be applied over paint protection film, we recommend HALOv2 specifically designed for PPF surfaces. For best results on factory paint, ensure any previous ceramic coat or wax has been removed through polish or decontamination before applying.

Regular maintenance washes with a pH-neutral wash soap will keep your coating performing optimally. Use a gentle hand wash technique with a microfiber cloth and avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes. For enhanced water repellency between details, top up with C2 Liquid Crystal ceramic sealant.

Yes, both Crystal Serum Light and EXOv5 are designed for prosumer application without professional equipment. Crystal Serum Light offers a forgiving process—if mistakes occur, the product can be machine polished and reapplied. Work in small sections and use a microfiber towel to buff away residue immediately after proper application.
