Gtechniq
Quick answer: Gtechniq is a car care brand known for ceramic coatings and aftercare products for paint, glass, wheels and interiors, supplied for DIY use and via accredited professional installers.
What it means
Gtechniq develops surface-protection products that bond to the clear coat and other substrates to improve gloss, chemical resistance and water behaviour. The range spans long-lasting ceramic coatings, top-coats/toppers, glass and trim coatings, shampoos and maintenance products. Some items are installer-only with warranty terms that depend on preparation and correct application.
Why it matters
- Protection choices: options for durable ceramic protection, shorter-term toppers and maintenance chemistry.
- Quality control: accredited installation and prep standards help achieve consistent results and validate warranties.
- Maintenance pathway: compatible wash products and toppers maintain water behaviour and gloss over time.
- Expectations: coatings improve resistance to chemicals and fine marring but are not scratch-proof.
Where you’ll see it
On detailers’ service menus, accredited installer pages, dealership upgrades, and retail shelves for maintenance products.

Car Paint Protection; Ceramic coatings; Maintenance
Common mistakes
- Assuming any “ceramic” from the brand gives the same durability - installer-only coatings and retail toppers are different.
- Thinking a coating is scratch-proof - it improves resistance but cannot stop all marring or chips.
- Skipping preparation and panel wipe, which undermines bonding and longevity.
- Using harsh cleaners routinely that strip toppers and dull behaviour.
- Ignoring cure and aftercare guidance required for warranty terms.
