Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating, also called nano-coating, is a liquid polymer which bonds to the surface of your car, creating a long-term protective layer on top of your paint. It is hard, thick, and transparent, similar to the appearance of glass, that semi-permanently attaches to your car’s paint.
Introduction
Protecting Your Cars Paint
Gtechniq has a full range of Ceramic coatings that will meet your needs and help protect against sun damage and oxidation. Unlike traditional waxes and sealants, our coatings last for years of protection. Often measured in years, we have coatings that last from one year to 9 years. An often-overlooked benefit of ceramic coating your car is the way it repels dirt and other substances. A ceramic coating makes your car’s surface very smooth, filling in the imperfections of the clear coat beneath it, making it difficult for dirt to stick to the surface. This means you won’t have to wash your car as frequently. Also making your car easier to clean while maintaining a deep, glossy appearance.

Technology
How It Works
Car ceramic coating chemically bonds with the paint, creating a long-lasting protective layer. A ceramic coating protects the clear coat layer beneath it. The clear coat layer protects the color layer of your car, but your clear coat can become damaged and scratched pretty easily. Even light abrasion with the clear coat can cause visible damage, therefore having a protective layer on top of it is very important. Ceramic coatings protect against UV rays from the sun. Without protection, UV rays can eat away at your car’s paint, causing oxidation and fade.
Gtechniq 9 Year Coating
Crystal Serum Ultra is the best paint protection you can get, it keeps your car looking glossy and new, prolonging the life of your paintworks perfect finish.
Key to Crystal Serum Ultras performance gain is the introduction of a revolutionary new 7nm nanoparticle alongside an existing 20nm nanoparticle and increasing the ratio of crosslinkers which reinforce and thicken the top layer of the coating. The hard 10h top and softer 7h base layer offer improved swirl resistance over regular 9h paint protection coatings. Compared to standard ceramic paint coatings, Crystal Serum Ultra can withstand even the strongest wash chemicals and bird droppings.
An additional benefit from having a flexible base layer and the hard top layer is that Crystal Serum Ultra is very resistant to extreme heat changes, even from -40 degrees Celsius to +250 degrees Celsius. Crystal Serum Ultra can be applied either as a stand-alone paint protection product or for the best hydrophobic performance, it can be over coated with Gtechniq ExoV5 or C2.

While ceramic coating is designed to be long-lasting, it does require some maintenance to ensure that it continues to perform at its best. This may include regular washing, decontamination, and the application of a maintenance product to boost the coatings hydrophobic properties.
The cost of ceramic coating varies depending on several factors, such as the size of the vehicle, the level of correction required, and the quality of the product used. In general, the cost can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars.
While it is possible to apply ceramic coating yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a professional detailer. Ceramic coating requires a high level of skill and experience to apply correctly, and if applied incorrectly, it can damage the paint finish. Additionally, professional detailers have access to specialized tools and equipment that ensure the best results.
Ceramic coating is typically applied using a microfiber applicator pad or spray gun. The vehicle’s paint finish must be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before the ceramic coating is applied. The coating is then allowed to cure for a certain period of time before it is ready to use.
Ceramic coating can be applied to most types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. However, it is important to ensure that the vehicle’s paint finish is properly prepared before applying the coating.
The longevity of ceramic coating depends on several factors, such as the quality of the product, the level of maintenance, and the driving conditions the vehicle is exposed to. In general, a well-applied ceramic coating can last anywhere from 2-9 years.
Ceramic coating offers several benefits, including protection against UV rays, acid rain, and environmental contaminants. It also makes the paint finish more resistant to scratches and swirl marks and provides a hydrophobic effect that repels water and makes cleaning the vehicle easier.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle to create a protective layer that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants. Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection and enhances the appearance of the vehicle’s paint finish.
