Ceramic Coatings

Chemical Guys HydroCharge is the easy-to-use SiO2 ceramic spray coating that delivers a brilliant high-gloss candy shine, extreme hydrophobic properties, and the durable protection of a ceramic coating with the ease of use and speed application of a spray.

Chemical Guys HydroCharge Ceramic Spray Coating is a revolutionary ceramic treatment that sprays onto any surface with a simple squeeze of the trigger! With HydroCharge, you can get all the benefits of a ceramic coating without the expense, time, difficulty, and headache of traditional ceramic coatings. You no longer need a professional to get durable long term protection, incredible water beading, and a high gloss light-reflecting shine- simply spray on this coating for instant results! Using advanced chemistry, anyone can apply HydroCharge in minutes with ease.

Paint may seem smooth to the naked eye, but if you analyze it closely, the surface is actually extremely uneven. Airborne contaminants such as brake dust, rail dust, airplane fallout, pollution, and calcium easily fall into surface imperfections, dulling your shine and bonding to the paint, while sharp fragments can even penetrate the clear coat like a knife! HydroCharge lays down a sacrificial layer of ceramic on top of the irregular surface, leveling it out so the surface is smooth, uniform, and slick, and helping protect your paint from razor-sharp particles. Now, with nowhere to stick, pollution and water just slide right off, leaving behind only a glistening shine that truly stuns!

The versatility of HydroCharge is unmatched: use it as a standalone coating on untreated paint for up to 12 months of protection, or as a booster on your favorite ceramic coating. HydroCharge does more than just protect, it also gives an incredible candy-like shine to all paint colors. The advanced formula even enhances the richness and depth of any color, so your car is not only protected with the power of ceramic, but shines with a deeper and darker beautiful candy finish!

That’s it! The formula produces a slick, protective, water beading layer between your paint and the elements. There’s no excessive rubbing, tricky application procedures or precise curing and removal requirements.  When done, you’re left with ceramic protection and durability that lasts well beyond conventional wax and provides a super high contact angle of water beading protection. It’s Ceramic made easy!

Gtechniq EXO v4 delivers a hard film that makes water-spots easy to remove, offers great resistance to all wash chemicals and can help withstand micro-marring. It produces a high-gloss, warm-looking, extreme hydrophobic finish.

Exo has a consistent film that is more durable and resistant to road salt and wash chemicals than its predecessors. Application is easy, with a slow flash-off time, giving more time to achieve a perfect finish.

All of the above combined with the introduction of a good degree of swirl resistance means EXOv4 represents a major leap forward in Last Surface Protection (LSP) technology

Directions:

• EXOv4 can be applied as a standalone sealant or as a top layer for GTECHNIQ C1 Crystal Lacquer or GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Light (CSL) - we recommend applying C1 or CSL as a base coat for easy to mark and dark paints

• If you are applying over C1, EXOv4 should be applied a minimum of 4 hours, but less than 12 hours, after you finish the C1 application 

• If you are applying over CSL, EXOv4 can either be applied straight away starting the process at the same place you did with CSL. For best results wait two hours before applying to let the product flash-off longer

• Ensure that your vehicle is out of direct sunlight but warmer than 5 degrees celsius, is completely dry and will stay dry for at least 12 hours after application

• Wipe down all surfaces using Gtechniq Panel Wipe and a microfibre cloth (apply the Panel Wipe to the cloth and buff - not directly to the panel) – if you are applying over newly applied C1 or CSL, this step is not required

• Shake the bottle well and wear gloves

• Prime the AP2 Ultra Soft Foam Filled Applicator evenly with a good amount of product so that the pad is damp

• Apply with applicator provided in overlapping strokes to a small panel or half a large panel. Wait 1 to 2 minutes after applying to a panel and buff with an MF1, followed by a second MF1 to remove any smearing, leaving the surface slick

• Once you have finished coating your vehicle we recommend repeating the process starting from the same place as you did for the first layer and coating panels in the same order so that you coat your entire vehicle with two layers of EXO

• Allow the coating to cure for at least 12 hours before getting wet

• After application we recommend that you do not wash the car for at least a week

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Use within 3 months of opening

Gtechniq Halo enhances the performance of Paint Protection Film (PPF) and vinyl. It’s a chemically bonding, ultra-dense flexible film that becomes the permanent surface of the film – protecting it from the elements a car faces on a daily basis.

The density of the coating and its low surface energy improve dirt and water repellency of PPF or vinyl.  It also helps to prevent staining from dirt ingression, as well as reducing yellowing caused by UV rays.
Overall, HALO keeps the PPF looking in a much better condition and makes it much easier for people to keep their car clean following PPF/ vinyl application.

Rigorous real-world and laboratory testing has proven HALO to be compatible with all types of gloss, matte, and satin vinyl and PPF. It is also proven to work on self-healing films.

Directions:

• Shake bottle well and wear gloves

• To apply HALO, your vehicle must be indoors and remain indoors, for at least 12 hours after the coating has been applied. For best results, good lighting is essential

• If applying to previously installed film, wash and decontaminate the vehicle with Gtechniq W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner and W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover 

• Spray a 30% dilution of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on to a Gtechniq MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth

• With your surface fully cooled, buff to remove any fingerprints or other surface contaminants. This process ensures you get the maximum number of chemical bonds between HALO and the film or vinyl

• Apply HALO evenly on the application pad and set the bottle aside

• Apply with applicator provided in overlapping strokes to an area roughly 2’x2’, or work to the bodylines of the vehicle

• After coating a panel remove residue with an MF1 cloth. Always remove from further than you have applied, working from the outside in

• Once applied carry out a final check with an MF1 cloth and a bright but diffused light source – this will ensure no residue remains on the surface. Allow the coating to cure for at least one hour and repeat the application process so that all film and vinyl is coated with two layers of HALO

• An unopened bottle of HALO has a 12 month shelf life from the time of purchase 

• Store in a cool/dry place, out of direct sunlight

• Use within 3 months of opening

Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer is extremely easy to apply and ideal  for someone new to applying ceramic coatings, or for someone who wants a coating that is durable, but not too much hassle to apply.

 With good gloss retention, C1 Crystal Lacquer becomes the functional surface of the cars paintwork, and if applied by a Gtechniq Accredited Detailer comes with a 5 year guarantee.

Gtechniq C1 forms a crystalline film which is hard - this characteristic makes it effective at preventing minor scratching from poor wash technique on relatively soft automotive paint.

The coating is good for gloss retention, but because it does not add much additional gloss it is ideal for matte paint finishes.

Directions: 

• Only apply in temperatures 5°c and above, indoors, out of direct sunlight

• Wear gloves provided 

• Soak the application pad with several drops of product

• Replace the lid on the bottle and set to one side - holding in your hand while detailing your car may promote premature curing

• Spread product on a small panel, or ½ a large panel, at a time

• Remove residue immediately with a microfibre cloth

• You may need to buff the same area several times to remove residue, so use at least two MF1 cloths at any one time. Make sure you rotate the cloths quickly so that the C1 does not cure in them - this can make residue harder to remove

• Change your application pad after 3 to 4 applications

• If you miss removing residue and it cures fully, you should re polish this area and reapply C1

• As soon as you finish put your microfibres in water, wash them as soon as you can to prevent the product crystallising and making them unusable

• Leave your vehicle indoors for 12 hours before exposing it to the elements

• If you are applying EXO Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating or C2 Liquid Crystal over the C1, leave at least 4 hours before application

• Store in a cool, dry place 

• Use product within 3 months of opening
