Protecting your paint

Being Gtechniq Accredited, we are able to apply the very best professional only ceramic coating. Crystal Serum Ultra is scientifically proven through extensive real-world and laboratory testing to provide a thick, glossy and hard structure on top of your paintwork.

Easy & Enjoyable Washing

Due to the hydrophobic and chemically resistant properties of the ceramic coating, cleaning becomes easier and faster. Dirt can’t bond as well to the slick surface, so is easily removed. Then, when it comes to the final rinse you can watch the water fly off!

Improved Gloss

After the paint correction work is complete, the application of a high quality ceramic coating enhances the depth and clarity of your cars paintwork. The hard 10h top layer of the coating offers improved swirl resistance to prolong the paint corrected finish.

What is a ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating is a mixture of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes which when applied to your cars paintwork, glass or wheels chemically bond to the surface. Once applied, the ceramic coating then protects the surface from UV and chemical degradation as well as offering swirl resistance.

The ceramic coating we apply to the paintwork, Crystal Serum Ultra, provides the best swirl resistance of all Gtechniq coatings. Ultra is a unique coating as when applied, it separates into two different layers. The first 7h layer is the softer, flexible base that carries the hard top layer. The second is a harder 10h layer which is an aggregate of 7nm and 20nm nanoparticles that offer superior chemical resistance, weather resistance and swirl resistance.

The summary of all this incredible scientific development is a product that once, applied gives increased gloss and protection, whilst the slick surface provides easy washing and even easier drying. If you have ever seen a video of water beading and flying of the paintwork of a car, this is likely the effects of the super slick ceramic coating!

How is a ceramic coating applied?

Before we apply a ceramic coating we want to ensure we protecting the best finish possible. This is why we always polish cars prior to the application of a ceramic coating. This is both to remove any potential swirls and imperfections and also cleanse the surface to help the coating bond to the bare paintwork.

Once your paintwork has been polished to your desired level, we then use Gtechniq Panel Wipe, a blend of pure alcohols and solvents to remove all polish residues on the paintwork. This helps to maximise the chemical bonds between the ceramic coating and your cars painted panels. Then we use a pipette to drop the liquid coating on the applicator pad and apply generously in a crosshatch pattern to ensure even coverage.

LDS is the real thing. Levi is friendly but professional and knows everything about detailing. He kept me updated on the progress with daily photos and videos. When I got my car back it was, unfortunately, better than when I collected it from the showroom new! I would highly recommend LDS Detailing.
