Directions:

• Shake bottle well before use and wear gloves

• Use out of direct sunlight

• If your car is heavily soiled spray product directly onto tar spots, or if less soiled, spray onto a microfibre cloth and gently wipe the affected area

• Allow to dwell for 1-2 minutes

• Rinse and repeat if necessary

• IMPORTANT: Do not allow W7 to come into contact with plastics, rubber or vinyl – wipe any overspray immediately. It is not suitable for use on PPF, smart repairs or wrapped vehicles

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Use within 12 months of opening

Gtechniq W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover is formulated to offer you the safest, most effective method of removing potentially damaging contamination most commonly found on your vehicles paintwork and rims.

In addition to its exceptional fallout removal function, W6 has a corrosion inhibitor and additive designed to combat the effects of acid rain.

It is a thick gel-like formula that will cling to vertical surfaces, degreasing them.

Gtechniq WM2 Microfibre Wash Mitt has optimal glide, contaminant capture and release characteristics. Combined with its inner foam core that retains a very high volume of wash solution and durable construction, the WM2 is the pinnacle in wash mitt technology.

Microfibre Care Guide

• Wash microfibre products separately from other fabrics to avoid cloths being contaminated with lint
• Wash at 30C using half the normal amount of bleach-free detergent
• Do not use fabric softener as this clogs the microfibres reducing their effectiveness
• If the cloth is very dirty adding half a cup of vinegar to the wash is advisable as it helps to remove product residues from the microfibres
• Either air dry or machine dry at a low temperature

C5 Wheel Armour offers the best protection for wheels, repelling brake dust and contaminants and making them easier to maintain.

Because of C5’s unique, exceptionally fine surface rheology and chemical bonding mechanism, its performance is outstanding. The former property gives the coating its excellent stain and contaminant resistance, and the chemical bond formed between the wheel surface and C5 makes the coating durable.

15ml of C5 will cover the rim faces only of up to 17 inch wheels

30ml of C5 will cover the inside and out of any wheels up to 20 inch wheels

Directions:

• Make sure your wheels are clean and dry before application

• Wipe down each wheel before application with Gtechniq Panel Wipe - this will ensure the best possible bond. Please be careful with smart repairs on your wheels as this may strip the paintwork on them

• Apply C5 indoors in a well ventilated area, at a temperature above 5°c 

• Shake well before use and wear gloves

• Soak the AP1 Lint Free Applicator Pad provided with several drops of product, and spread the coating onto the surface of your rim - no more than ½ a wheel each time

• Once you have spread the coating, buff residue within 30-60 seconds with a microfibre cloth

• Repeat the process on all of your wheels

• Allow the coating to cure indoors for 12 hours before exposing to the elements

• Suitable for gloss, satin and matte rim finishes

• Fit for use on chrome, but not polished metals

• Store in a cool, dry place

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 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 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

Gtechniq C4 utilises a chemical bond to become an extension of the plastic molecule it is protecting.

The coating swaps part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car’s trim. This means that you have a protective coating of unparalleled durability.

Unlike many trim products on the market, C4 is exceptionally thin (circa 30 nanometers) optically clear film – this means it will not add an unattractive gloss finish to the surface. Instead, it restores all, but the most faded trim to an ‘as new’ condition. It is ideal for new trim, helping to prevent fading.

Directions:

• Make sure before you start you have enough product for all of your trim. For example, if you have a Mini (30ml) you would need more product than you would on a Golf (15ml)

• Work in a well ventilated area, at a temperature above 5 degrees celcius and out of direct sunlight. Wear the gloves provided 

• Ensure the surface(s) you are going to coat are free from any contaminants. For best results clean trim with a neat solution of W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner, and if required use a medium stiff brush

• Use the AP1 Lint-Free Applicator supplied to spread the coating onto the surface of your trim. Soak the pad with several drops of product

• Once you have spread the product over each piece of trim, gently wipe away residue immediately with a microfibre cloth. If your car has heavily textured trim take time to ensure all crevices are covered, and that all residue is also removed from them

• Allow the coating to cure for 12 hours before exposing to the elements

• Use within 3 months of opening

• Store in a cool, dry place

Gtechniq G5 gives all glass or Perspex surfaces the best dirt and water repellency.

Gtechniq G5 is highly hydrophobic and beads water even at low speeds - making driving safer and reducing the need for your wiper blades.

Any glass coated in G5 will stay cleaner for longer and any contaminants such as bugs, bird droppings and ice will be easier to remove.

G5 offers maximum repellency, but is less durable than our G1 ClearVision Smart Glass.

Directions:

•  Wear protective gloves and work in a well ventilated area

• Clean glass with G6 Perfect Glass, polish with G4 Nanotech Glass Polish, and do a final clean with G6 prior to application

• Do not apply in direct sunlight

• Apply a small amount of G5 to an AP1 Applicator or a microfibre cloth, in a circular motion covering all of the glass

• Leave the coating to cure for between 10 and 15 minutes at room temperature

• Remove residue from the coated surface with a clean cloth

• Avoid contact between water and the coated surface for at least two hours following application

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Use within 12 months of opening

Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard forms a durable abrasion resistant matte finish which offers the best ever protection against abrasion damage, UV rays, dye transfer and other discolouration.

With added BioCote® antimicrobial technology, treated surfaces will kill 99.9% of bacteria.

Friction protection is particularly important on seat bolsters, seat piping and any other high wear areas.  The anti stain function is most relevant for light coloured leathers which are typically stained by dark coloured fabrics such as indigo jeans. 

Many leather products market themselves on how they feed leather, when in fact this is not needed.  Modern automotive leather use synthetic fat liquors which do not evaporate.  Any product that is designed to feed leathers will not be absorbed by modern automotive leathers but instead remain on the surface attracting dirt which will then act as an abrasive foreshortening the leather’s finish. L1 gives 3 to 12 months durability depending on how high-wear the area protected is.

Directions:

• Thoroughly clean leather with I2 Tri-Clean and dry surfaces

• Shake well before use and wear gloves

• Apply in a circular motion using a soft foam applicator spreading a thin layer of the product

• Remove any excess with a microfibre cloth

• For best results on high-wear areas re-apply the product an hour after the first layer

• Leave the product to dry for an hour before use

• Store in a cool, dry place

Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric protects all kinds of fabrics from water-based stains. It is breathable and extremely durable, thanks to Gtechniq’s unique scientific formula.

I1 makes ordinary fabrics waterproof and easy to clean. Use it to prevent soaking, swelling or rotting on any fabric. Ideal for use on your cars convertible roof or interior.

Gtechniq Smart Fabric is colour safe. Nano particles that make up I1 Smart Fabric coat each fabric fibre individually, leaving the texture unaffected, allowing the material to breathe. This means stale air will still be able to escape, while repelling water and and oil-based liquids. 

Even more hydrophobic than its predecessor, I1 Smart Fabric V2 leaves no remnants of a spillage and moisture simply falls off a coated surface. Laboratory testing reveals that I1 V2 repels water to the highest standard set by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) – ISO 5. And wash tests reveal the product remains at its full performance level after being washed on a 40 degree cycle, and even after five washes still performs better than its predecessor.

On average I1 will last on a car’s interior for between 6 and 12 months - depending how ‘used’ the surface is. On convertible roofs the product will last for up to 2 years.

Directions:

• Make sure the surface you have cleaned is thoroughly dry (for best results 48 hours in good drying conditions) before applying I1 Smart Fabric. For the optimal impregnation of I1 into your fabric, its moisture content must be below 15% which is significantly dryer than touch dry

• Apply at a temperature of 5°c or above, in a well ventilated area

• Use out of direct sunlight

• Apply by spraying evenly from a distance of about 15cm ensuring thorough saturation of the surface you are covering

• Make sure your application is thorough as once Smart Fabric has dried, you cannot apply a second coat, as the first coat will repel additional product

• Avoid over spraying on surrounding substrates, if this happens, wipe immediately with a microfibre cloth. Also wipe any excess from the fabric

• Leave to dry for 24 hours, after this time the full effectiveness of the product will be achieved

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Use within 12 months of opening
