Review: IGL coating enhancer on my 2019 Hyundai Creta

If the longevity is what they advertise then I would term it as a decent product considering it's ready to use.

BHPian Artyom recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

1 year 3 months 5 days since the vehicle had been coated with IGL Kenzo.

  • Here is the post for the application.
  • I felt its time for some TLC for the coating which had just been maintained with IGL Car shampoo and occasional top-ups of Carpro EchO2.
  • I am not a fan of Quick Detailers which come in ready-to-use form.
  • I prefer the concentrated form of the product which I can dilute to my satisfaction.
  • This time I thought let's try something which is from the same family as the coating and see how long it lasts.

PLEASE NOTE: I am nowhere associated with the brand and all the views are my own.

Members are free to disagree/correct me.

Price

  • Rs 1,140 for a 500 Ml Bottle.
  • Bought it from Amazon.in
  • Look/Touch/Smell
  • Somewhat resembles the smell you get from a permanent marker.

Availability

  • Amazon.in
  • IGL Official India website

How is it Different

  • The only differentiating factor is that all IGL products are eco-friendly and safe for the environment.
  • Apart from that it works just like any other QD.
  • Acts as a Drying agent as well.
  • That's my initial impression so far. Will update you if I find anything exceptional.

Test Subject

  • Hyundai Creta 2019(White)

Process Followed

  • Performed a Water-less Wash with Optimum ONR.
  • Dried the vehicle.
  • Sprayed one panel at a time and then wiped off with a towel.
  • Buffed off and done.

How economical

  • My estimate is 60ml to cover the whole vehicle.
  • 8 applications per bottle can be termed as semi-economical. If that's even a word.

Protection and how I intend to test it

  • Yet to ascertain as I applied it today.
  • They claim 4 weeks but I will have to check if it applies to Indian conditions.

Gloss

  • The gloss certainly got a considerable bump post-application.
  • Surface has become smoother as well.

Overall Impressions

  • Purpose of using this product was to try a product within the same family on the coating.
  • If the longevity is what they advertise then I would term it as a decent product considering it's ready to use.
  • Since it can act as a drying aid it will help when washing the vehicle in direct sunlight and avoid water spots.

Amazon Packaging

The bottle was encased in a hard plastic tube

Bottle without Spray Nozzle. Disappointing
