So, you've done your homework, and you're sold on the benefits of Ceramic Coatings — convenience, durability, and that unbeatable shine. Now, let's talk about how to pick the perfect coating for your ride.
The market for Ceramic Coatings has exploded in recent years, with new brands popping up left and right. While there are many fantastic Ceramic Coating brands out there, we've chosen to focus on GTECHNIQ Ceramic coatings, that offer a level of scratch resistance, protecting the surface from chemical and UV degradation, and perform exceptionally well in UAE weather conditions.
Now, here's the key to choosing the right Ceramic Coating: find the right installer because its skill, experience, and attention to detail are crucial.
MAX WAX Car Detailing House is an official GTECHNIQ-authorized installer, our technicians have undergone specific training and have the expertise to apply their ceramic coatings correctly and meet their strict standards for quality and professionalism, so you can trust that your car is in good hands.
Gtechniq has a range of chemically bonding coatings that are quartz-based through to composite coatings, each offering varying levels of protection and durability. Let’s take a more in-depth look at each of them.
Crystal Serum Light
Serum Light forms an ultra-durable, high gloss, slick to touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of 9h optically clear ceramic. This means that once applied, your gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for significantly longer than you would get with traditional products, and cleaning your car will be a breeze.
The high density ceramic layer is resistant to chemicals ranging from pH2 to pH12. Its dense surface makes bonded contaminants such as tree sap, tar, and hard water spots much easier to remove.
Unlike mainstream wax and organic polymer coatings, Crystal Serum Light can resist much higher and lower temperatures - as low as -40°, to as high as +250°C.
Crystal Serum Light comes with a 5-year guarantee when applied by a Gtechniq Accredited Detailer.
Crystal Serum Ultra
Crystal Serum Ultra represents a major leap forward in the performance of ultra-durable paint protection, offering matchless levels of gloss, surface slickness, swirl and chemical resistance.
Extensive real-world and laboratory tests, prove that its thicker, glossier and harder structure offer unsurpassed abrasion and chemical protection.
Crystal Serum Ultra delivers the best swirl resistance of all the Gtechniq coatings.
Key to Crystal Serum Ultra's performance gain is the introduction of a revolutionary new 7m nanoparticle alongside an existing 20mm nanoparticle, and increasing the ratio of crosslinkers, which reinforce and thicken the top layer.
Tests prove its hard top coat (-10h) and more flexible base layer (-7h),
actively reduces wash swirls, retaining a cars new look
The molecular structure of the hard top layer is exceptionally chemical resistant. This means Crystal Serum Ultra can withstand even the strongest wash chemicals and bird droppings.
An additional benefit from having a hard top layer and flexible base layer is that Crystal Serum Ultra is very resistant to extreme heat changes, from -40°C to +250°C.
Crystal Serum Ultra is a professional product and only available to be applied by a specially trained accredited Gtechniq detailer and is backed by a 9-year guarantee.
MAX WAX technicians apply an EXO overcoat to all ceramic-coated vehicles for the ultimate hydrophobic finish.
G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass
G1 ClearVision Smart Glass offers exceptional durability due to its chemical bonding, unlike conventional rain repellent coatings that rely on weaker physical bonds. This durability enhances wet weather visibility, improving safety and reducing eye strain. Additionally, G1 makes it easier to remove contaminants such as ice, bugs, and tree sap from the glass.
It's important to note that G1 is designed for use only on glass substrates and will not be effective on modern polycarbonate headlight lenses. For these surfaces, G5 Water Repellent for Glass and Perspex is recommended.
When purchasing, opt for the 15ml bottle for windscreens only, or choose the 100ml bottle for application on all of your car’s glass. G1 comes with G2 Residue Remover for easy application and maintenance.
C5 Wheel Armor
The wheels and tires of a vehicle are particularly prone to collecting road grime, dirt, and brake dust due to their position at the lowest points. Protecting these surfaces can be challenging, as many conventional waxes and polymers do not provide long-lasting protection.
C5 Wheel Armour provides superior protection for wheels, repelling brake dust and contaminants, and simplifying maintenance.
C5's exceptional performance stems from its unique surface rheology and chemical bonding mechanism. These properties contribute to its excellent stain and contaminant resistance, while the chemical bond formed between the wheel surface and C5 ensures durability.
With a temperature resistance of up to 600°C (1112°F), C5 is suitable for all areas of your vehicle's rims and brake calipers.
