Bike specific appearance products are a waste IMO. There’s no reason why quality automotive products can’t be used. If its good enough for a Ferrari then its good enough for an Argon 18.
GTechniq Crystal Serum Light (CSL) isn’t a spray or wax with some ceramic molecules mixed in. It’s a bonafide ceramic coating and applied as such. The full strength Crystal Serum version is only available to certified installers but the Light version can be purchased at any auto detail supply shop.

- Wheels,. chain and bottle cages were removed.
- The bike was washed with a mix of Dawn and Megquiar’s Ultimate shampoo.
- Contaminants were removed with an Auto Magic CM2200 fine grade clay bar using soapy water as a lubricant.
- The bike was washed a second time, thoroughly dried and wiped down with Duplicolor wax and grease remover.
- A final wipe with Isopropyl alcohol was done prior to application of CSL as per instructions.
- A coating of Meguiar’s Ultimate paste wax was applied.
Carbon rims were also coated using the procedure above. The results are impressive.
