Protect your paint, PPF, wheels, glass and trim with Gtechniq GT1, the easiest way to experience the performance of a true ceramic coating.
GT1 has been engineered for enthusiasts and first-time users alike, delivering professional-grade ceramic protection with a simple, single-layer application for 12-months of durability.
Designed for driveway or general outdoor use, GT1 can be applied in a wide range of temperatures without the complexity normally associated with ceramic coatings. Whether you're upgrading from wax or applying your first ceramic coating, GT1 offers a straightforward application while delivering the durability, gloss and hydrophobic performance Gtechniq is known for.
The advanced ceramic formula chemically bonds to the surface, creating a durable protective layer that repels water, releases dirt more easily and helps reduce the appearance of wash-induced swirl marks. The result is a vehicle that stays cleaner for longer and is significantly easier to maintain between washes.
Unlike many ceramic coatings that are limited to paintwork, GT1 is a true multi-surface ceramic coating. It can be safely applied to painted panels, gloss and matte paint protection film (PPF), exterior plastic trim, wheels and automotive glass (including windscreens), allowing you to protect almost every exterior surface with a single product.
Whether you're looking for an easy ceramic coating for your daily driver, weekend toy or freshly detailed vehicle, GT1 provides long-lasting protection without the steep learning curve or temperature controlled environment.

How To Use:
Thoroughly wash and decontaminate the surface you're wanting to apply Gtechniq GT1 to. For paintwork, this will include iron and tar removal, followed by claying and polishing where required.
- Spray and wipe the surface with the included Panel Wipe & MF1 towel
- Open GT1 and apply evenly to the included AP5 microfibre applicator
- Apply using smooth, overlapping passes to create an even, consistent layer
- After 30-60 seconds, you will see the coating start to react and separate
- Use the included MF6 towel to gently 'level' and remove residue
- Check your work and ensure all residue is removed, flipping or changing your MF6 microfibre towel as you work
- If GT1 is left (by mistake) for a 3-4 minutes, it can still be wiped away
- This process is the same for paint, wheels, glass and trim
- Allow to fully cure for 8-hours before getting your vehicle wet.
- You can perform the first maintenance wash 7-days later.
High Spots:
If you notice any left-over residue the next day, these areas are called high spots. Usually they're hard to remove on normal ceramic coatings, however Gtechniq recommends using their W9 Water Spot Remover to aid in removing this left-over residue. Apply to a microfibre towel and wipe over the high spot until visually level. If you notice any difference in water behaviour in that area, you can always re-apply GT1 if needed.
Temperature Considerations:
GT1 can be applied in temperatures above 5°C without issues. Humidity is also far less critical than with conventional ceramic coatings.
Future Re-Coating:
After 9-months, you can prep your vehicle and re-apply GT1 to boost its life, the hydrophobics and self-cleaning benefits. GT1 bonds perfectly to itself.
Professional Use:
GT1 is the ideal coating to apply to customer vehicles after single-stage polishing packages, or if their existing (older) protection needs a top-up to restore gloss and hydrophobics.
