Why Use Gtechniq C3 Hydro Coat?

C3 Hydro Coat isn’t just another wet coat, it’s a hydrophobic ceramic coating engineered for ease, delivering extreme water beading and a glossy finish with just a spray and rinse. Whether you’re a professional detailer or a weekend warrior, this hydrophobic car coating bonds instantly to your automotive surface, forming a protective layer against acid rain, bird droppings, and other common contaminants.


The application process makes it an ideal addition to your regular car wash routine. Applied to a cool surface and rinsed off with water, it creates a hydrophobic surface with enhanced chemical resistance and repellency that lasts up to 3 months. It’s compatible with most paint correction and coating products, making it a smart upgrade for any vehicle owner looking to maintain that incredible shine—even on a rainy day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hydrophobic car coating?

A hydrophobic car coating creates a water-repellent surface on your car’s paint or glass so water beads right off, carrying dirt with it.

Can I apply C3 Hydro Coat myself?

Yes. C3 Hydro Coat is designed for easy application. Just spray it onto a clean, wet vehicle panel that is cool to the touch, then rinse with water. It bonds instantly, delivering professional-level results without complicated steps.

How long does C3 Hydro Coat last?

You’ll get up to 3 months of protection from a single application. It depends on your car wash routine and driving conditions, but reapplying every few months ensures peak hydrophobic properties.

Does it replace ceramic coating?

C3 Hydro Coat is a hydrophobic ceramic sealant, not a full ceramic coating. It’s a quick, high-performing alternative or a great maintenance layer for existing ceramic coatings.

What’s the difference between water beading and water sheeting?

Water beading means water forms droplets that roll off the surface—great for gloss and visual appeal. Water sheeting refers to water flowing off in sheets. C3 Hydro Coat enhances both, but you’ll notice an immediate increase in extreme water beading.

Can it be layered with a Quick Detailer?

Yes, after curing, you can use Quick Detailer as needed to further boost shine or remove contaminants between washes.
