GTECHNIQ!!!! Now available in the US!!! HUGE NEWS

Gtechniq



The British are coming! The British are coming! Again....

No I'm not talking about “Red Coats” nor am I talking about guys named John, Paul, Ringo, George, Mick, Pete, or Davie...

Gtechniq, an English surface care company is invading the United States with their high-tech coatings and care care products. Each product is rigorously tested and made with an extra helping of 3S.

What is 3S? Smart Surface Science. Gtechniq specializes in using next generation science to develop products that deliver maximum performance. At Gtechniq they call this 3S. We call it extreme!

Autopia-CarCare.com is proud to stock the first round of Gtechniq products to land in the Colonies.




Gtechniq's goal is to engineer the world's best surface care products. Products that are based on real science, innovative materials, and total ease of use. Products like C1 Crystal Lacquer or EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating which protect your finishes for years, not weeks.




Gtechniq's products harness the performance of nano scale composite materials and are tested in absolutely brutal conditions to ensure maximum performance. The result is that Gtechniq's products deliver maximum long term visual impact and protect against not only the elements, but the ravages of time, and the impact of the daily grind.



Gtechniq may call it 3S, but when you try these amazing surface care we believe you will join us in saying that they are amazing! Extremely amazing!


What are the differences between Gtechniq Surface Coatings and waxes and sealants?!

Waxes and sealants provide a sacrificial barrier against the elements. They sacrafic themselves for the good of the paint. A good wax or sealant will last between 3 to 6 months.

Gtechniq surface coatings have a life measured in years, not weeks, and very rarely in months. This is extreme car care at its finest!

Nice. Love the Wheel Armor. I'll be grabbing the glass sealant soon . The $12 shipping on the small vial kinda shook me though so I'll wait to combine with a bigger order.

Glad you're carrying this now!

I definitely like how easy it looks to apply

Yes both C1 Crystal Lacquer and EXO will help prevent surface marring.

Please PM me the price if you have it. I'm interested in nano sealants and this product sounds like what I've been looking for.

Very interesting product line! Could the C1 Crystal Laquer be purchased separate from the C1.5 Silo Seal? Also, would anyone happen to know if the C1 and EXO would be safe for use on paint protection films such as Ventureshield, Nano-fusion, Xpel Ultimate, etc?

Both can be applied to protection films no problem, although EXO would be a better bet in this case (from my understanding). EXO can even be applied to masonry work.

I'm not sure of the cost of EXO at his point. They are not nano sealants but rather nano coatings. I will make sure to update as soon as I know

Todd, is the small bottle of glass coating enough for the 3x windshield coats and 1x on the other glass?

Nothing firm yet. It's coming from overseas so there can be all types of delays. The only thing I can confirm is soon.... (non-answer).
