C1 Crystal Lacquer
Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer delivers next-level paint protection that’s been proven where it counts. In independent testing under intense simulated Arizona sunlight, C1 outperformed every other product, holding on to significantly more gloss over time and showing clear signs of long-term durability. But this coating does more than keep things shiny. It bonds directly to your paint to create a hard, crystal-clear layer that stands up to everyday wear and tear. Designed to reduce fine scratches and prevent swirl marks, especially on softer paint types, C1 makes your finish tougher and easier to maintain. In side-by-side comparisons, it showed far fewer signs of micro-marring than untreated panels or those protected with premium waxes. If you want a coating that stays glossier for longer and keeps your paint looking fresh, C1 delivers real-world results you can see.
