Gtechniq GT1 puts genuine ceramic protection within reach of anyone with a driveway and a free afternoon. One product, one layer, and every exterior surface on the car is protected for 12 months or more.
GT1 bonds chemically to the surface to leave a hard, slick, water-repellent layer. Rain beads tight and runs straight off, road grime struggles to key in, and the weekly wash gets noticeably quicker. Unlike most ceramic coatings it is not fussy about temperature or a controlled workshop, so it can be applied outdoors across a wide temperature range.
It is also a true multi-surface coating. Painted panels, gloss and matte paint protection film, exterior plastic trim, wheels and automotive glass including the windscreen all take the same product, so one bottle covers the whole car.
Everything you need is in the box, including the panel wipe to prep the surface, the applicator, the cloths and a step by step guide. If you are moving up from wax or laying down your first ceramic coating, this is the easiest route into Gtechniq performance.

FAQs
Q: How long does GT1 last?
Gtechniq rate GT1 at 12 months or more from a single layer. Durability depends on how the car is washed and stored, so a maintained car kept off harsh detergents will hold up longer.
Q: Do I need a garage to apply it?
No. GT1 was formulated for driveway use and tolerates a wide range of temperatures, which is what separates it from most professional coatings.
Q: Can I use GT1 on matte paint or matte PPF?
It is rated safe on both gloss and matte paint protection film. As with any coating, test a small hidden area first if the finish is matte or satin.
Q: Does the kit include everything I need?
Yes. The panel wipe, applicator pad, buff cloths, gloves and guide are all in the box. You will still want to wash and decontaminate the car properly before you start, so a clay treatment and an iron fallout remover are worth having to hand.
Q: How does GT1 compare to Crystal Serum Light?
Crystal Serum Light is the harder, longer-life coating aimed at experienced users and rated at around five years. GT1 trades some of that durability for a much simpler application and a full kit in the box, which makes it the better first ceramic coating.
