Gtechniq Difference
Unlike typical wet coats or temporary sprays, this hydrophobic coating enhances your car’s contact angles to easily roll water droplets off your paint or glass surface—carrying dirt with them. You’ll experience fewer swirl marks, easier maintenance, and a deeper, longer-lasting gloss. With C3 Hydro Coat, you don’t just get a hydrophobic coating—you get confidence in every drive. Protecting your car’s surface shouldn’t take hours—or compromise performance.

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
