Gtechniq Ceramic detail (CS LIGHT / ULTRA)
Firstly your vehicle is sprayed with a PH Neutral snow foam and left to dwell, this will start to break down dirt contaminants on the paint.
Your vehicle is then pressure washed to rinse of the snow foam and majority of dirt will be removed to minimise swirl marks when washed.
Using a sperate bucket Door shuts and wheel arches are then cleaned, along with the alloys and insides of wheels which are cleaned with acid free wheel cleaner.
Liquid decontamination and rinse
Next there is a multi-stage two bucket wash using a wash mitt, each panel is washed with PH neutral shampoo, the mitt is then rinsed between panels in a clean bucket of water with a grit guard to minimise paint damage.
Paintwork decontamination with clay, to remove bonded contaminants.
Your vehicle is then rinsed and dried using Soft plush micro-fibre towels and air blower.
Single stage machine polish (depending on condition of paintwork)
Panels prepped and Gtechniq CS Light +Exo applied
interior vacuumed
Finally interior / exterior glass is cleaned and tyres are dressed.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum is the market-leading ceramic composite coating – the best paint protection available. Because of the strong chemical bond the coating forms with a car’s paintwork, Crystal Serum can only be applied by a trained detailing professional. Should Crystal Serum be applied incorrectly a car will need flat sanding to remove the coating.
Crystal Serum is an unbeaten paint protection product. It provides ceramic protection with previously un achievable levels of gloss, durability, scratch and chemical resistance.
The composite structure offers ultimate safeguard, plus the same slick finish and candy-like gloss as the very best carnauba waxes.
With a 10h top and softer 7h base layer (based on the pencil hardness test), Serum offers improved swirl resistance over regular 9h coatings. It forms a thick combined film which greatly reduces surface hazing and improves gloss.
When your car is cleaned, even the harshest wash chemicals will not dull your gloss, as Crystal Serum is resistant to chemicals from pH2 to pH13. And on top of that, contaminants like bird droppings are easy to remove and will not harm a car’s clear coat. As well as chemicals, it is unaffected by extreme heat changes, even from -40 to +250 degrees Celsius and offers exceptional UV protection which prevents premature dulling.
For the definitive hydrophobic finish it can be over coated with Gtechniq EXO – this is known as a CS Ultra treatment.
