Gtechniq
End thread.
What do it yourself?
Not sure how it holds up or compares to other products (havent had a chance to apply it yet) but I just got some DIY Autoglym UHD ceramic coating for £45 on amazons.
If you didn’t want to prep and apply it yourself (I’m in two minds myself) most detailers seem to have it as an option, but expect £120+ ontop of a clean from what I’ve seen.
Yeah it’s easy to apply just make sure you’re very thorough
I’ve tried a couple other brands like auto finesse etc but (theirs particularly) I found to be nowhere near as good as gtechniq in terms of durability
From what I can see there are 3 levels:
-
A professional coating such as Gtechniq or Modesta, applied by a pro detailer for approx £500 and they will machine polish your paint to remove swirls. These last 5 years with correct wash maintenance.
-
Apply a semi pro coating yourself, assuming your paint isn’t heavily swirled, prep it carefully, clay bar, decontaminate for tar and iron etc. Something like Car Pro UK 3.0 for approx £40.
-
Just use a spray on coating enhanced with ceramic or grapheme something like Turtle Wax hybrid coating for just £18

Looks great what was the cost?
Costs depend on how much paint correction is required. My car took nearly a week, the Black roof was a mess of swirls
I had the work done here in March 2019, prices can be found on the website.

I think mine cost around £850.
