In search of the best paint protector

Melbourne based Automotive Burg Design Pty Ltd, a bodyshop product supplier, claims that Gtechniq is now the leader in the quest for the ultimate paint protector.

According to Automotive Burg Design Gtechniq’s two part process prepares the paint surface to perfection, then seals it in with a choice of two protective sealants. Even without the sealants the surface effect is swirl free and will not hold water.

Driven in rain, a Gtechniq finished car will shed 90 per cent of the dirt from its treated surfaces.

Burg managing director, Ray Graham, says that Gtechniq has achieved spectacular results on a number of luxury cars, including the Rolls-Royce fleet at the Peninsular Hotel in Hone Kong.

Utilising nano technology, the process begins with a low speed wool buff to apply the P1 preparation product.

Either C3 sealant can then be applied or the more exotic C1 finish which costs around $400 per car, plus labour.

Once applied and, with reasonable care, the paint is protected for the life of the car.
Graham says that the process is not suitable for a single panel because it enriches the paint colour and would show up the rest of the vehicle.

Gtechniq will probably be most popular as a final finish after body repairs have been completed or to give new cars a spectacular showroom shine.

It is especially effective on black or dark colours where swirl marks can often spoil otherwise flawless paint work. Gtechniq could also prove popular among car detailers.

Made in the UK, Gtechniq has had enthusiastic support from companies such as Aston Martin, Sunseeker Powerboats, Oceano Yachts, the Subaru World Rally Team and many independent high end vehicle retailers.
