Why Choose Crystal Serum Ultra?

- 9-year guarantee
- Matchless levels of gloss, surface slickness, swirl and chemical resistance
Crystal Serum Ultra is the best paint protection you can get, it keeps your car looking glossy and new, prolonging the life of your paintworks perfect finish.
Key to Crystal Serum Ultras performance gain is the introduction of a revolutionary new 7nm nanoparticle alongside an existing 20nm nanoparticle and increasing the ratio of crosslinkers which reinforce and thicken the top layer of the coating.
The hard 10h top and softer 7h base layer offer improved swirl resistance over regular 9h paint protection coatings. Compared to standard ceramic paint coatings, Crystal Serum Ultra can withstand even the strongest wash chemicals and bird droppings.
An additional benefit from having a flexible base layer and the hard top layer is that Crystal Serum Ultra is very resistant to extreme heat changes, even from -40 degrees Celsius to +250 degrees Celsius.
Crystal Serum Ultra can be applied either as a stand-alone paint protection product or for the best hydrophobic performance, it can be over coated with Gtechniq EXO or C2.
Why choose Gtechniq
Born Out Of Pure Science
Gtechniq was founded by quantum physicist Drew Gill in 2001, out of total dissatisfaction with the performance of paint protection products at the time.
Everything from waxes, to new-fangled polymers and PTFE based miracle treatments, nothing on the market offered any meaningful durability, either in looks, or protection. Worse still, he found that most of the products actually performed poorer than the paints they were supposed to protect.
The technology behind the science.
Gtechniq smart surface science combines the latest in fields such as nanochemistry and supramolecular chemistry, with rigorous real-world and laboratory testing. The premise for all Gtechniq products is to hit a sweet spot of performance, ease of application and price. We apply the same principle to our whole range of products
Advances in silicon technology driven by a high global demand for faster and smaller processors have thrown up a wealth of new and innovative materials, offering a range of solutions that were never possible before. Gtechniq has the experience, connections and motivation to bring to the market, class leading products, proven to improve every aspect of surface care.
Gtechniq Our History
Over the last 20 years, Gtechniq’s products have been continually improved to provide a range that outshines and outlasts the competition. Gtechniq has built a fresh, innovative brand, different from any other available on the market.

What is ceramic coating, and why should I consider it for my car?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your car’s exterior to protect the paintwork. Once cured, it forms a strong, durable bond that offers superior protection from environmental contaminants like bird droppings, UV rays, and road grime. In addition to its protective qualities, ceramic coating enhances your car’s gloss and makes it easier to clean. It lasts much longer than traditional waxes, offering a sleek, high-gloss finish that maintains your car’s appearance for years. You can learn more about ceramic coating in our blog post: ‘What Is Ceramic Coating?‘.
How long does ceramic coating last with professional care?
At iValet, we use Gtechniq ceramic coatings, which are known for their longevity and performance. Regular maintenance, such as our VIP Wash Plan, can extend the life of the coating, ensuring your car remains protected and shiny for the long term, lasting 9 years with our care.
Are iValet UK certified to apply ceramic coatings?
We are proud to be Gtechniq Approved Installers of ceramic coatings, offering the expertise required to apply industry-leading products with precision and care. Our professional detailing services ensure your vehicle receives the highest level of protection, enhancing both its appearance and durability. With expertly applied ceramic coatings, you can expect long-lasting results, shielding your vehicle from environmental damage while maintaining a glossy, showroom-quality finish. Having your car professionally detailed ensures that every surface is treated meticulously, delivering superior protection and shine for years to come.
What’s the difference between ceramic coating and waxing?
Ceramic coating provides far superior protection compared to waxing. While wax sits on the surface and wears off quickly, ceramic coatings chemically bond to the paint for long-lasting durability. Coatings also offer more resistance to environmental damage, including chemical stains, bird droppings, and UV rays. Wax may need to be reapplied every few months, whereas ceramic coating will last for several years with proper care.
Does ceramic coating protect against scratches?
Ceramic coating helps prevent scratches and swirl marks, especially when combined with proper washing techniques. It provides a hardened surface that can withstand abrasions better than uncoated paint. While it won’t make your car scratch-proof, it offers excellent resistance to light scratches and daily wear, helping maintain your car’s pristine look.
Does ceramic coating require any special maintenance?
Ceramic-coated vehicles require less maintenance compared to those without, but regular washing is still essential. We recommend avoiding automatic car washes and opting for hand washes using pH-neutral products. iValet offers maintenance services, such as our VIP Wash Plan, to keep your car looking its best while extending the life of the coating.
Will ceramic coating make my car look shinier?
Yes, ceramic coating significantly enhances the shine of your car’s paintwork. The coating brings out the depth of the paint, giving it a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. This gloss is long-lasting and will remain vibrant with regular care, making your vehicle stand out for years to come.
Is ceramic coating worth the investment?
Ceramic coating is an excellent investment for those looking to protect their vehicle’s paintwork and maintain its appearance for the long term. While it has a higher upfront cost compared to traditional waxing, its durability, protection, and ease of maintenance make it a cost-effective solution over time. Plus, it helps preserve your car’s resale value.
What’s the difference between car detailing and valeting?
Car valeting typically focuses on cleaning of the vehicle, including washing, vacuuming, and polishing. Detailing goes a step further, offering paint correction techniques such as machine polishing. Detailing also includes advanced treatments like ceramic coating, which offers long-term protection and a superior finish. While both enhance the vehicle’s appearance, detailing is more comprehensive, focusing on preserving and restoring your car’s condition.
Does detailing include interior cleaning?
Our detailing packages focus on exterior treatments, including machine polishing, paint correction, and ceramic coating. However, interior cleaning can be added as an additional service if requested.
What are the benefits of machine polishing ?
Machine polishing is a key part of exterior detailing, used to remove surface imperfections like swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches from your car’s paintwork. It restores the original gloss and ensures the paint is smooth before applying any protective layers like ceramic coating. By using professional-grade polishers, we achieve a flawless finish, enhancing your car’s overall appearance and preparing it for long-lasting protection.
How does detailing protect my car’s paintwork?
Detailing, especially when combined with ceramic coating, helps maintain your vehicle’s paint in pristine condition. The polishing process removes imperfections, and ceramic coating offers long-term protection against environmental damage such as UV rays, bird droppings, and road grime. With proper detailing, your car’s paint will remain glossy, resistant to contaminants, and easier to clean over time.
Do you need to machine polish a car before ceramic coating it?
Machine polishing is highly recommended before applying ceramic coating. This step removes surface imperfections like swirl marks, minor scratches, and oxidation, ensuring the paintwork is in pristine condition. Ceramic coatings bond best to smooth, flawless surfaces, maximizing their durability and shine. Skipping this step can result in the coating sealing in imperfections, reducing the overall aesthetic and effectiveness. Therefore, machine polishing helps achieve optimal results, providing the perfect foundation for long-lasting protection and a high-gloss finish. Even brand new cars will have paint imperfections from the factory and potentially have swirl marks from being washed by some garages/dealerships.
