Over the past 20 years, GTECHNIQ has offered several ceramic automotive coatings that have been further improved as technology advances. GTECHNIQ was born in a laboratory in 2001 after a quantum physicist named Drew Gill put his scientific training to work and created a paint protection formula that binds to an automobile's clear coat and protects the finish at a molecular level. Did. C1 Crystal Lacquer was the first ceramic coating offered by GTECHNIQ, and more recently, the company's premium ceramic coating, Crystal Serum Ultra, offers an unprecedented level of “hardness” and is available to certified installers. can only be installed. If Crystal Serum Ultra is not properly installed, it can only be removed from the paint with 1,500 grit sandpaper. That's why the coating power of Crystal Serum Ultra is so high.
GTECHNIQ also offers Crystal Serum Light, which is touted as the company's “Pro-Summer” version because it provides 80% of the protection of Crystal Serum Ultra and protects paint for up to five years. Ultra is only available to certified GTECHNIQ detailers, but with Crystal Serum Light, DIY enthusiasts can take advantage of Crystal Serum's superior protection without fear of improper use. can.
When installed with GTECHNIQ's Crystal Serum Light, you get an ultra-high gloss, smooth paint, and super easy cleaning. Crystal Ceramlite boasts a Mohs hardness of 9H, making it one of the “hardest” ceramic coatings in the industry. This optically clear ceramic coating prevents tree sap, insect splatter, and other paint contaminants from sticking to your paint, making it very easy to remove. A professional grade paint coating that requires no professional pressure.
While most people will be happy with the results when using Crystal Serum Light on their cars as it provides excellent ceramic protection, GTECHNIQ scientists have decided to give CSL an ultra-durable hydrophobic coating called EXOv5. is recommended. EXOv5 was also engineered in a lab that takes advantage of the latest advances in nanochemistry and understands how coatings interact with paints at a molecular level. Extensive lab testing and real-world results show that EXO v5 delivers better performance from denser, single-layer applications. When applied over Crystal Serum Light, EXOv5 adds an extra layer of paint protection by repelling dust, dirt, and water marks, making your Corvette's paint resistant to road grime, detergents, and even road salt. It will be.
The hydrophobic nature of Crystal Serum Light with EXOv5 gives your paint a smooth feel. EXOv5 provides durable protection for up to 24 months and also provides sufficient swirl mark resistance.
Crystal Serum Light and EXOv5 are very easy to use and you will see results quickly. It's important to thoroughly clean your Corvette's paint to remove any dirt before installation. GTECHNIQ recommends wiping each panel in small sections using panel wipes and an MF1 microfiber cloth. Once that's done, dip the applicator in Crystal Serum Light and apply in layered strokes over a 2' x 2' area. Immediately he removes the residue with one MF1 cloth, then he uses a second MF1 cloth to ensure that all residue is removed. EXOv5 can be applied 2 hours after the end of CSL. Spread EXOv5 onto the applicator pad, apply product to the panel in repeated strokes, and buff with the MF1 microfiber cloth. Allow the EXOv5 coating to cure for at least 12 hours before getting wet. We also recommend not washing your car for at least a week.
GTECHNIQ offers EXOv5 and Crystal Serum Light together and when purchased as a kit, you save 20% compared to purchasing each product individually.
