A ceramic coating is a mixture of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes that when hand-applied, chemically bond to the paint or glass. Ceramic coatings protect the surface from chemical and UV degradation as well as offer a level of scratch resistance.
The Gtechniq range of chemically bonding coatings are possibly at the forefront of nanotechnology for years, the very best in the market. they are quartz-based through to composite coatings, each offering varying levels of protection and durability. a more in-depth look at each of them;
When it comes to adding gloss, resisting swirls, contaminant and dirt repellency, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light is the pinnacle in paint protection. Serum Light forms an ultra-durable, high-gloss, slick to the touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of 9h optically clear ceramic. Offering up to 5 years of protection. Once cured, the coating is harder than most OEM paint surfaces.
Once applied, gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for significantly longer when compared to traditional paint protection products,
The high-density ceramic layer is resistant to chemicals ranging from pH2 – pH12. This characteristic also makes bonded contaminants such as tree sap, tar, and hard water spots, easy to remove.
For those who are chasing perfection Crystal Serum Light provides exceptional levels of gloss, but for added reflectivity and unbeatable water-beading, finishing with a layer of Gtechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating offer the very best of protection
Using composite siloxane technology, EXOv5 makes water spots and road grime easy to remove, offers excellent resistance to all wash chemicals and can help withstand micro-marring. It produces a high-gloss, warm-looking, extremely hydrophobic finish.
It has a consistent film that is more durable and resistant to road salt and washes chemicals than its predecessors. Application has been improved with just a single layer of product required, with a slow flash-off time, giving more time to achieve a perfect finish. Offering up to 5 years of protection
C4 utilises a chemical bond to become an extension of the plastic molecule it is protecting.
The coating swaps part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car’s trim. This means that you have a protective coating of unparalleled durability, approximately 2 years from a single application.
Unlike many trim products on the market, C4 is exceptionally thin (circa 30 nanometers) optically clear film – this means it will not add an unattractive gloss finish to the surface. Instead, it restores all, but the most faded trim to an ‘as new’ condition. It is ideal for new trim, helping to prevent fading and offering UV protection
Leather Guard forms a durable abrasion resistant matte finish which offers the best ever protection against abrasion damage, UV rays, dye transfer and other discolouration.
With added antimicrobial technology, treated surfaces will kill 99.9% of bacteria.
Friction protection is particularly important on seat bolsters, seat piping and other high-wear areas. The anti-stain function is most relevant for light coloured leathers which are typically stained by dark coloured fabrics such as indigo jeans.
L1 gives 3 to 12 months of durability depending on how high-wear the area protected is.
I1 Smart Fabric V3 is specifically designed to repel water and oil-based liquids, helping to prevent any staining
Unlike regular coatings the nano particles of Gtechniq I1 coat the individual fibres of fabric, leaving the 'breathability' and feel of the fabric unaffected. The former means that stale air can still escape but at the same time repelling any water or oil based liquids. Being solvent based ensures a much deeper penetration of the active ingredient giving an I1 treated surface much better durability and overall performance. Typically an I1-treated surface will outlast conventional water repellent coatings by a factor of approximately x5 with durability on soft-tops for example, lasting as long as three years.
Your vehicle’s wheels are the lowest point of the car and get constantly bombarded with dirt, road grime and road salt. No matter whether you have standard, multi-piece or forged wheels, getting these protected is super important. Not only to preserve their look and value but to make ongoing wheel maintenance much easier. Having well protected wheels means that you don’t have to use caustic chemicals to remove brake dust and help to mitigate pitting of the alloys.
Because of C5’s unique, exceptionally fine surface rheology and chemical bonding mechanism, its performance is outstanding. The former property gives the coating its excellent stain and contaminant resistance, and the chemical bond formed between the wheel surface and C5 makes the coating durable. C5 Wheel Armour will retain its integrity up to temperatures of 600°C (1112°F) making it suitable for all parts of your vehicle’s rims, exhaust and brake callipers. A single application lasting up to one year
Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass is a dedicated glass sealant that is designed to last for up to two years / 30,000 miles making wet weather driving both safer and less tiring. Also keeps windshields cleaner for longer and makes bugs and ice easy to clean off.
No smears and wiper blade proof.
Unlike regular rain repellent coatings that adhere to the surface of the glass using relatively weak physical bonds, G1 uses a chemical bond which gives G1 unrivalled durability. Gtechniq G1's excellent durability and exceptionally low smear characteristics make it ideal for car windscreens.
G1 will only work on glass substrates and so, it will not work on modern headlight lenses which are made from polycarbonate. For these G5 will suffice
