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.
Automotive Burg Design Pty Ltd says that Gtechniq's two part process prepares the paint surface (old or new) 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 car finished in Gtechniq will shed 90 per cent of the dirt from its treated surfaces.
Managing director of Burg, 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 Hong Kong.
Utilising nano technology, the process begins with a low speed wool buff to apply the P1 preparation product - which is surprisingly low priced at $250 a gallon. Either C3 sealant can then be applied (also costing about $250 a gallon) 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.
