Gtechniq's Serum Light forms an ultra-durable, high-gloss, slick to the touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of tough optically clear ceramic.
Talk to us Talk to usGtechniq is one of the most recognised names in ceramic coating. A proven 9H ceramic with a well-established accreditation programme and a 5-year accredited warranty. For customers who want a name they already know.
Scores are our team’s subjective assessments, based on direct workshop experience. They reflect how each coating compares against the others in our range — not against any external standard.
Ceramic Coating chemically bonds to your paintwork, creating a microscopic layer of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes which are as smooth as glass. This ceramic coating repels water and dirt, protects the paint from chemical and UV damage, and creates a hard barrier which offers a level of scratch resistance. If you want to find out all about them, please see our Definitive Guide to Ceramic Coatings.
Crystal Serum Light slots into Gtechniq's professional range as their 5-year ceramic coating.
For used cars. Price includes double machine polish, clay bar decontamination, exterior detail, panel preparation, and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light.

I was amazed with the result as the car is black it now has a mirror look finish to it, the wheels and the glass where also done. Now the car looks better than when I collected it from the dealership. So I can highly recommend Garry and his team for service of 110% and care and attention.

No, we aren't. We missed out on the franchise for this area, but we are authorised to apply Crystal Serum Light. While you don't get the official Gtechniq guarantee, we back it with our own 5-year guarantee. We are accredited by Fireball, Autosmart and Siramik, so you can trust us -- we know how to apply ceramic coatings.
By the time you collect your car, it will be dry. Most manufacturers advise not to wash it for a week while it cures. We've noticed the finish even improves during that week, so yes -- curing takes about seven days before it's completely hardened.
The coating is permanent -- it will still be on your car after five years. But constant exposure to the elements means it won't be at peak performance forever. A garaged car lasts longer, and you can always top it up or re-coat if you want to maintain maximum protection.
Not quite. Ceramic coatings are glass-like on a microscopic level, but they're not thick like a lacquer finish on vintage cars. They're nano-coatings, only molecules thick -- yet you can definitely see and feel the difference.
No -- we don't recommend polishing a ceramic coating. Polishes are abrasive and meant to remove paint, which will damage the protective layer. With ceramic, your paint is sealed under a silica shield, so there's no need for polish.
Gtechniq are a well-known British brand with one of the largest accredited installer networks in the UK. If you've done your research and specifically want Gtechniq by name, it's a solid choice and we can apply it.
All our ceramic coating and paint sealant packages include a thorough 2-stage machine polish, along with a clay-bar treatment and panel preparation to ensure the surface is clean and smooth. This is ideal for newer cars or well-maintained paintwork. If your car needs a bit more attention, upgrading to a 4-stage or even a full 6-stage correction is easy -- we’ll guide you through the best option for your vehicle’s condition.
| Machine Polish Upgrade | Prices |
|---|---|
| 4-Stage Machine Polish Upgrade | £195.00 |
| For moderately aged cars showing signs of age or moderate neglect. Our 4-stage system removes deeper swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches, and dullness. It restores depth and clarity to tired paintwork without the full intensity of a complete restoration. | |
| 6-Stage Machine Polish Upgrade | £345.00 |
| For older or neglected cars with heavily weathered, scratched, or oxidised paint. Starting with a heavy compound to level down deep scratches and heavy swirling, we progressively refine the finish through six stages to restore colour, depth, and mirror-like clarity. |
