Being a professional car detailer, I am well aware of the importance of keeping your vehicle in a perfect state. Ceramic coatings are an innovative way to protect different surfaces of your car. These coatings consist of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes which chemically bond with the paint or glass when applied by hand, thus creating an enduring protective layer. They guard against chemical as well as UV degradation besides providing some level of scratch resistance. There are various ceramic coatings offered by Gtechniq which range from quartz based to composite ones having different degrees of protection and durability, let’s look at each option in detail.
Crystal Serum Light is considered as being prosumer version for Crystal Serum Ultra where it gives 80% performance when compared side by side with their professional counterpart; it provides excellent gloss; swirl resistance ability and also contamination repellency. This product forms ultra-hard high gloss chemically bonding ceramic coat rated at 9h hardness. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C up to +250°C unlike other waxes or polymers available on the market today; it also resists chemicals within pH2 – pH12 range while most mainstream wax products fail at these points. Gtechniq Accredited Detailer applies this coating comes with five years warranty period.
C1 Crystal Lacquer happens to be a chemically bonding quartz paint coating which works well on various surfaces such as gel coat, vinyl among others including all types of paints too; it has good swirl resistance capability additionally can be over coated with C2 or EXO for added dirt/water repellency, gloss & slickness improvement. It is also resistant up-to 500 °C temperature giving stronger defense mechanism against heat damage caused due exposure during driving periods.
C4 Permanent Trim Restorer binds chemically with plastic trims thus becoming part and parcel of the plastic molecules themselves; it’s a thin transparent film that restores trims back to their original condition without leaving any greasy residue behind or producing an unattractive shine on such surfaces. Strong UV filter contained in this product makes it perfect for new trim where fading prevention is needed while keeping its look over time.
C5 Wheel Armour offers best protection against brake dusts which tend sticking onto wheels thereby causing staining together with other contaminants; due its high density coupled chemical bonding process stains cannot easily penetrate through hence excellent stain resistance feature. This type of coating can withstand up-to 600 °C heat level making them suitable for all parts of rims as well as brake calipers found on cars ensuring they remain intact throughout use.
G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass creates a chemical bond with glass surfaces, offering unmatched durability together with longevity span. It enhances wet weather visibility by being hydrophobic thus making raining season safe on roads plus reducing eye strain during such times too; another advantage is that it becomes easier removing things like ice, bugs or tree sap from windows treated using G1 since they don’t firmly stick onto this coat surface. Note: G1 only works effectively on glass substrates whereas for modern headlight lenses made from polycarbonate material it’s advisable using G5 Water Repellent for Glass and Perspex.
When choosing a ceramic coating, different factors should be considered like specific needs or desired level of protection required among others which may vary from one individual to another. For those seeking highest levels of defense Crystal Serum Ultra would be most appropriate while if easy application is priority then go for Crystal Serum Light instead which still provides good amount safeguarding abilities too. If looking at comprehensive safety measures plus enhanced performance through additional layers used C1 Crystal Lacquer can do that job perfectly well too; on the other hand, for specific areas like trims C4 offers tailored solutions and similarly C5 does so Wheels.
