I've used gtech on the bonnet of one of my cars. Disaster! It just left a very streaky finish which I had to polish very hard to remove it. Never again. TBH using any of these polymer based surface treatments you really need a machine polisher or dont bother. You can never get a good finish just hand polishing.I did a DIY job with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Lite and two coats of Exo plus Wheel Armour 18 months ago. I now live in a mostly dry and dusty environment but the car does get wet and dirty occasionally over the winter months. The car is kept under a car port and washed once a fortnight. Every second wash I top off with Gtechniq liquid crystal.
In the 18 months since coating I have never had to do anymore than power wash the car and very gently wipe it dry with a very thick microfibre towel. The towel is clean after I wipe it down. So a good power wash removes every bit of dirt or dust on the paintwork and no swirls are added in this cleaning process. I am a huge fan of Gtechniq products and have also started using their marine products on my boat.
Did you read the instructions and follow them? I found it very easy to apply with a perfect streak free finishI've used gtech on the bonnet of one of my cars. Disaster!

This is the roof of my Vantage. It was machine polished and had PPF applied two years ago, the PPF removed and reapplied two weeks ago (the old one had gone a bit weird for some reason), two coats of Hydro Slick and two coats of R222. I'm sure it'll need doing again in a month or so, but I'm happy enough with that finish.

I have had similar issues, last time with some stuff called Max Protect. Didn't go well.I've used gtech on the bonnet of one of my cars. Disaster!

Now THAT is not only a nice finish but a lovely motor!Feynlab self-healing coating just applied. This will protect against swirls and bird etching etc. It actually self-heals with heat. You could take a wire brush to this and emulate really, really bad swirling and then hot water or hair dryer will remove. I had a serious bird etching on a previous treated car - baked on for 2 weeks whilst I was away. Gently removed and heated up and disappeared.
