CERAMIC COATING

At Wrapstyle Mauritius we use the Gtechniq range of coatings from the UK. Gtechniq offer protection for almost every surface of your vehicle, inside and out. Paint, external trim and plastics, wheel rims, glass, interior leather or fabric, convertible roofs and interior trim and plastics. We all know Mauritius has a harsh climate, UV damage, tree sap and bird droppings and extreme weather all do their best to damage your car’s exterior finishes. Our ceramic coating is the ideal solution to protect your car.

CERAMIC COATING - ULTIMATE CAR PAINT PROTECTION

A ceramic coating is a mixture of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes that when hand-applied, chemically bond to the paint or glass. Ceramic coatings protect the surface from chemical and UV degradation as well as offering a level of scratch resistance. Gtechniq have 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 below;

PRODUCTS WE USE

Crystal Serum Ultra

Crystal Serum Ultra delivers the best swirl resistance of all the Gtechniq coatings. This product is a composite ceramic coating, that when applied phase separates into two layers. The first layer measures 7h on the pencil hardness scale and bonds to the paintwork, so that it cannot be washed off. The second layer is a harder 10h layer which is an aggregate of 7nm and 20nm nanoparticles that offer superior chemical resistance, weather resistance and swirl resistance.

Since incorrectly applied Crystal Serum Ultra can only be removed using sand-paper, it is available to be applied by WrapStyle Mauritius team who are specially trained accredited Gtechniq detailer.

Crystal Serum Light

Crystal Serum Light is the prosumer version of the world-famous Gtechniq Accredited Detailer Crystal Serum Ultra. It offers 80% of professional Serum Ultra’s performance.

When it comes to adding gloss, resisting swirls, contaminant and dirt repellency, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Serum Light are the pinnacle in paint protection. It forms an ultra-durable, high-gloss, slick to the touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of 9h optically clear ceramic. Once applied, gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for significantly longer and cleaning your car will be a breeze. This also makes bonded contaminants such as tar, and hard water spots, easy to remove.

C1 Crystal Lacquer

Crystal Lacquer is a chemically bonding quartz paint coating. It can bond to any type of gel coat, vinyl and all kinds of paint – eg clear coat, acrylic, nitro-cellulose, two-pack, solid paint, metallic paint, pearlescent, urethane, polyurethane and matt paint surfaces.

As C1 is a relatively thin and relatively hard it offers good swirl resistance but we recommend overcoating it with either C2 or EXO to give your finish the ultimate in dirt and water repellency, gloss and slickness. C1 is also resistant to temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius.

C4 Permanent Trim Restorer

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. Since it has a strong UV filter, C4 is also ideal for new trim, helping to prevent fading.

C5 Wheel Armour

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

Because of C5’s high density 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.

C5 will retain its integrity up to temperatures of 600^oC (1112^oF) making it suitable for all parts of your vehicle’s rims and brake callipers.

G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass

Unlike regular rain repellent coatings that adhere to the surface of the glass using relatively weak physical bonds, G1 uses a chemical bond which gives G1 unrivalled durability.

G1 ClearVision Smart Glass’hydrophobic function improves wet weather visibility helping to improve safety and eye strain. It also makes removing contaminants from the glass such as ice, bugs and tree sap much easier.

G1 will only work on glass substrates and so, it will not work on modern headlight lenses which are made from polycarbonate. For these, you will need to use G5 Water Repellent for Glass and Perspex.

L1 Leather Guard AB

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.L1 gives 3 to 12 months durability depending on how high-wear the area protected is.

I1 Smart Fabric Anti Bacterial

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. 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.

G4 Nanotech Glass Polish

G4 is a water-based cleaner for glass, containing nano abrasives and citric acid to achieve a smear and scratch-free finish every time.

The high-performance polish cuts through dirt and grime, it removes water spots and unwanted tarnishes, leaving all glass with a clinically clean finish.

Using G4 is the ideal preparation for G1 ClearVision Smart Glass and G5 Water Repellent Coating for Glass and Perspex.
