Protection starts underneath
A coating only looks as good as the paint below it.
Gtechniq ceramic coating adds a durable, easier-to-clean surface. Water beads, sun fade slows, and weather and road film release with less contact. It does not remove scratches, so those get handled before application.
Slick, hydrophobic finish
Water and contaminants have less to grab, so routine washing and drying takes less work.
UV resistance
The coating helps fight sun damage that fades and thins clear coat over years outside.
Warranties up to 4 or 8 years
One-step packages are warranted up to 4 years. Multi-step packages up to 8. The warranty follows the prep, not a bottle on dirty paint.
Coating packages
Preparation matched to the condition of the paint.
These are preparation-based packages using Gtechniq coatings. Coating system and final scope are confirmed after the vehicle and workspace are reviewed.

How it runs
Prepared, applied, and left to cure.
Assess
We inspect the paint and confirm a covered, dry workspace for application and cure.
Correct
Contamination, haze, and agreed defects are removed before coating begins.
Apply
The coating is installed panel by panel and leveled within its working window.
Cure
The vehicle stays dry and protected for the cure period confirmed with your coating system.
Planning your service
The coating decision includes the next wash
Think about where the car sleeps, the finish you want, and how you will maintain it. Those answers are more useful than choosing by the warranty length alone.
_01
Inspect the paint you will protect
Show the swirls, water marks, and any repaired panels. Coating goes over prepared paint; the amount of correction is agreed before application. Mention any existing coating or film.
_02
Arrange the curing window
Tell us about your garage, cover, and when you next need to drive. Confirm the weather plan and the specific water and washing restrictions for the coating applied before the appointment.
_03
Keep washing and drying
Use a coating-compatible pH-neutral shampoo and clean wash tools. Dry with a clean microfiber towel. Address bird droppings promptly and gently; scrubbing can damage the surface.
_04
Ask before adding products
Bring your current wash-product names to the walkthrough. Confirm compatible upkeep, warranty conditions, and what to do if water behavior changes before buying a booster or abrasive cleaner.

After the service
Understand which protection you are choosing
Executive Exterior and paint correction include a ceramic sealant. The coating packages on this page pair paint preparation with a Gtechniq ceramic coating and their stated warranty. Compare the actual service and care requirements when choosing between a sealant detail and a coating appointment.
Keep a record of the work
At handoff, confirm the coating applied, the curing instructions, the warranty conditions, and the recommended upkeep. Mention the coating at future details so any polishing, decontamination, or extra protection can be assessed first.
Review exterior detail packagesCommon questions
Before you book.
Can coating remove scratches?
No. Correction removes or reduces defects; coating protects the finish created underneath.
Can you coat in my driveway?
Application needs shade, a clean dry surface, and protection from moisture during cure. A garage or suitable covered workspace is preferred.
How long does it last?
One-step + coating includes a warranty of up to 4 years. Multi-step + coating includes a warranty of up to 8 years. Mileage, storage, and wash habits still affect real-world life.
How should I wash it afterward?
Use a pH-neutral wash and clean towels. Avoid automatic brush washes, which can scratch coated paint.
