2024 Hyundai i30 N
Refined & Protected.
Targeted paint correction followed by Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and EXOv5, completed at our Wyong studio for a client travelling from Newcastle.
Careful preparation before protection.
This 2024 Hyundai i30 N arrived at our Wyong studio for ceramic coating, with its owner making the trip from Newcastle. Before applying protection, we inspected the paint and identified embedded iron contamination, water marks and areas of etching on the bonnet and roof.
The treatment began with paint decontamination, followed by correction tailored to the affected panels. We then applied Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra (CSU) and EXOv5 as the top coat, with additional protection for the exterior trim and wheel faces.
A closer look at the paint.
From a distance, the light blue finish looked presentable. Closer inspection in direct sunlight revealed swirl marks and surface spotting on the bonnet. Water marks were also identified across the bonnet and roof, with some already etched into the paint.
Decontaminate. Correct. Refine.
01 · Embedded iron removal
Following the wash, we carried out paint decontamination to address iron particles embedded in the finish. This prepared the surface for a closer assessment and the correction work.
02 · Targeted multi-stage paint correction
The affected areas received multi-stage machine paint correction to reduce swirl marks, light scratches and water-mark etching. Particular attention went to the bonnet and roof, with the correction tailored to the condition of the paint
03 · Final refinement and surface preparation
After the correction work, we refined the finish and completed the final surface preparation before applying the coatings.
Preserving the paint matters. The depth of etching influences how much correction is appropriate. Our approach prioritises practical improvement while preserving the remaining paint, rather than pursuing every mark at any cost.
Crystal Serum Ultra.
Finished with EXOv5.
With the paint prepared, we applied Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, followed by EXOv5 as the top coat.
The completed finish shows the light blue paint under our studio lighting, with reflections across the bonnet, front guard and surrounding panels.
Preparation remained central to this project—from removing embedded iron to correcting the affected areas before protecting the refined finish.
Trim and wheel-face protection.
Alongside the paint coating, we treated the exterior trim and the front faces of the alloy wheels.
Wheel protection for this project covered the visible faces; inner wheel barrels were outside the treatment scope. These finishing details completed the vehicle’s protection package.
Thank you for making the trip.
We appreciate our client travelling from Newcastle and trusting RD Mobile Car Detailing with their Hyundai i30 N. The project brought together careful decontamination, targeted paint correction and ceramic protection at our Wyong studio on the Central Coast.
