Gtechniq Halo Flexible Film Coating Overview
Gtechniq Halo Flexible Film Coating is designed to enhance and protect Paint Protection Film (PPF) and vinyl surfaces. It forms a chemically bonding, ultra-dense yet flexible coating that becomes the permanent outer surface of the film, shielding it from the environmental elements a vehicle faces every day.
The dense coating structure and low surface energy significantly improve water and dirt repellency on PPF and vinyl. It also helps prevent staining from dirt ingress and reduces yellowing caused by prolonged UV exposure.
Overall, Gtechniq Halo keeps PPF and vinyl in far better condition for longer, making ongoing cleaning and maintenance considerably easier following installation.

Gtechniq Halo Flexible Film Coating Compatibility
Rigorous real-world and laboratory testing has proven Gtechniq Halo to be compatible with all types of gloss, matte, and satin vinyl and PPF. It is also fully compatible with self-healing films.
Gtechniq Halo Flexible Film Coating Application Information
Simple steps to help you get the best results:
- Shake bottle well and wear gloves before use
- Vehicle must be indoors and remain indoors for at least 12 hours after application
- Ensure good lighting for best results
- If applying to previously installed film, wash and decontaminate using Gtechniq W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner and Gtechniq W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover
- Ensure the surface is fully cooled and dry
- Spray a 30% dilution of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) onto a Gtechniq MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth
- Wipe the surface to remove fingerprints and contaminants
- Apply Halo evenly onto the application pad and set the bottle aside
- Apply in overlapping strokes to an area approximately 2ft x 2ft using the applicator provided
- After coating a panel, remove residue with an MF1 cloth
- Always remove residue from further than you have applied, working from the outside in
- Carry out a final inspection using an MF1 cloth and a bright but diffused light source
- Allow the coating to cure for at least one hour
- Only a single layer is required
- An unopened bottle has a 12-month shelf life from the date of purchase
- If opened, use within 3 months
- Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight
