Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer +
Whilst C1+ is relatively straightforward to apply, end users should be mindful that it cures to form a hard quartz film and as such it must be applied correctly first time. If asked, we will always recommend one of our trained Accredited Detailers apply the product for you (prices start at £249) but we also understand that there are many customers who are comfortable with and prefer applying various coatings to their own vehicle themselves. In order to meet this requirement we ask the following of you:
By selecting “Agree” the purchaser of Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer + (hereinafter referred to as “C1+”) agrees to the following terms and conditions:
1. That you have viewed this youtube video demonstrating the application of C1+
2. That you are aware that C1+ can be applied by a network of Gtechniq Accredited Detailers details of which can be found here
3. The purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless C1+, Gtechniq and their agents and employees from and against any and all claims or losses including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or resulting from any damage caused from any use of C1+

What's special about Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer?
C1 has been independently proven in the world's most respected weathering facility:
Where it proved to offer the best gloss retention of any other product tested. Over a simulated run of 3 years Arizona sunlight a C1 coated panel lost half the amount of gloss than its next best competitor and 1/3rd less gloss than the average score for all other products tested.
But gloss retention is only part of the story. C1 offers the following additional benefits:
Extreme Durability: Unlike regular polymer sealants, C1 actually becomes the functional surface of your car's paintwork. It does this by swapping part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car's paintwork. This is a true chemical or covalent bond and as you can imagine this is a much strong bond than a physical bond which is how regular polymers and waxes adhere to your car's paintwork. In tests C1 outlasted dealer applied sealants by at least 10 times.
Scratch Resistance: C1 forms a sub micron cyrstalline film which is extremely hard. This characteristic makes c1 extremely effective at preventing minor scratching from poor wash technique on relatively soft automotive paint. We have run tests comparing c1 coated panels with uncoated and against panels coated with various high end carnauba waxes and polymer sealants. On average c1 coated panels exhibited 50% less marring.
Water and dirt repellency: C1 is a biomimetic coating. It mimics the repellency of plants that repel water and dirt in order to keep their leaves clean. The most commonly cited example in nature is the leaf of the lotus plant which if you examine under an electron microscope looks like this. C1 works in a similar way as shown below:
How do I apply C1?
As c1 cures to a crystal finish it is important it's applied correctly first time. In reality it's not a hard product to apply but will never be a consumer product. See below for details and the resources tab for further instruction:
