GTECHNIQ Ceramic Coating Packages Include
Decontamination Wash
Car exterior decontamination wash is a thorough cleaning process aimed at removing contaminants and pollutants that adhere to the vehicle's paint surface over time. These contaminants can include road grime, tar, bug splatter, bird droppings, tree sap, industrial fallout, and other pollutants that can degrade the appearance of the car and potentially harm the paintwork. The goal of the decontamination wash is to restore the paint to a clean and contaminant-free condition.
Paint Enhancement or Paint Correction
After giving your car a thorough wash to get rid of any dirt, we move on to the paint improvement part.
Think of paint polishing as giving your car's paint a nice shine and gloss – it's a gentler process, getting rid of around 50% - 70% of the imperfections.
If you're looking for something more intense, that's where paint correction comes in. This method can remove 70% to 90% of the paint defects such as swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and etchings.
​
Ceramic Coating Application
Once the desired level of paint correction is achieved, we meticulously apply Gtechniq ceramic coating. This premium quality ceramic coating is applied to all painted surfaces, including plastics, trims, headlights, taillights, grills, door jambs, glass, and the face of the wheels. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every inch of your vehicle receives optimal protection, shielding it from harsh elements and extending the longevity of its showroom-worthy appearance.
Aftercare Insturctions and Maintenance
After the ceramic coating application is done, and the ceramic coating is cured, you will receive instructions on how to properly maintain your vehicle to keep it looking at its best for many years to come!
With every Gtechniq ceramic coating package, our customers will receive the Gtechniq Essential Maintenance Kit or Basic Maintenance Kit, which can be valued up to $100, and has all the necessary products to maintain the coating!
Ceramic Coating Benefits and Characteristics
Hydrophobic Properties
When water comes into contact with a surface treated with a ceramic coating, it beads up into small droplets rather than spreading out in a thin sheet. This beading effect makes it easier for water to roll off the surface, carrying dirt, contaminants, and particles with it. As a result, the vehicle stays cleaner for longer periods.
Chemical Resistance
Ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic and chemically resistant surface. This means that many contaminants, including acidic ones, are less likely to bond to the coated surface. The coating provides resistance against various chemicals, including bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, and road salts. This can help prevent damage and etching on the paint surface.
Enhanced Gloss & Depth
The coating is designed to enhance the visual appearance of the vehicle by providing a deep, glossy finish. This can contribute to a showroom-like shine.
Scratch Resistance
While not completely scratch-proof, ceramic coatings like Crystal Serum Ultra or Crystal Serum Light can add a layer of resistance against light scratches and swirl marks, improving the overall durability of the paint.
Ease of Maintenance
Because contaminants are less likely to bond to the surface, cleaning a ceramic-coated vehicle becomes easier. Washing away dirt, pollen, and other residues becomes a less time-consuming task, which can save you money on car washes and detailing services.

How ceramic coating can save money in the long run?Ceramic coatings are highly durable and can last for several years with proper maintenance. They form a semi-permanent bond with the paint, creating a long-lasting protective layer whereas traditional wax typically lasts for a few weeks to a few months. Depending on the quality and type of wax used frequent reapplication is necessary to maintain protection which can lead to ongoing expenses for professional services or if you would try to do it by yourself for both the product itself and the time required for the application.
-
How long will it last?The longevity of the ceramic coating depends on several factors, including the quality of the product, the application process, and most importantly how well the ceramic coating is maintained. Since we use only the highest quality professional products - it really goes down to maintenance. Regular and proper maintenance is key to extending the life of a ceramic coating. This includes routine washing with pH-balanced, non-abrasive car wash soaps, avoiding harsh chemicals, automatic car washes, and using the recommended maintenance products provided by the coating manufacturer
-
Can I wash my car after the coating is installed?We advise our customers to not wash their vehicle for the first two weeks, after the ceramic coating installation.
-
Can the ceramic coating replace my clear coat?If your paint is chipping and fading due to clear coat failure, the only option to fix that is a repaint. A ceramic coating will not be able to help.

Can I use an automatic car wash with ceramic coated car?It’s sad to see how many beautiful cars go through automatic car washes daily here in Johnson City, TN. Most automatic car washes use mechanical brushes, foam strips, or cloth materials to scrub the vehicle's surface. These dirty components will create micro-scratches or swirl marks on the ceramic coating, diminishing its protective properties and aesthetic appeal over time. While automatic car washes can be convenient, especially for quick cleaning, they carry risks that can compromise the integrity and longevity of a ceramic coating. For this reason, we highly recommend avoiding automatic car washes and starting to hand wash them. If hand washing doesn't sound good to you, we have a maintenance option, to take care of it for you!
