US automotive coatings specialist launches marine line

Automotive detailing manufacturer, Gtechniq, has re-formulated its automotive products for the marine environment with its flagship products including its Marine Ceramic Base and Marine Ceramic Top.

With 21 years in the automotive surface care industry, the company will offer the new product line through its Gtechniq Marine division and says ‘as boats become more advanced and owners become more discerning, Gtechniq Marine products ensure the surfaces of a boat are protected and maintain their showroom look and lustre’.

Ceramic Fast Coat is a non-smear, high-gloss, 100 per cent optically clear, non-yellowing and UV resistant coating. The coating repels dirt and water and provides up to six months protection. Gtechniq Marine Ceramic Fast Coat is the perfect partner to protect marine surfaces from oxidation, the company says, and crosslinks to gelcoat or topcoat and is compatible with all Gtechniq Marine products.

Rinse-On Ceramic is designed to protect any boat’s gloss surfaces. It can be used at every wash down with a single application claimed to last up to three months. In addition to its ceramic coatings, Gtechniq offers a full line of glass and interior cleaners; a panel wipe that removes all polish residues so that chemically bonding coatings can form the maximum amount of bonds with a vessel’s paintwork; glass, metal, and multi-stage polishes; and non-ceramic coatings for glass, plexiglass and fabrics.

“We are proud to offer a full complement of cleaning and coating products and the requisite maintenance items to ensure the longevity and performance of our coatings and your vessel,” says Jay Bentley, business development manager – Marine, Gtechniq North America. “Our true ‘hard’ ceramics, Base and Top, are our best sellers because they provide the protection owners expect and we guarantee. They are easy to apply, and they are proven, cost-effective replacements for wax. However, we don’t just rest on our line of exceptional products, we are continually developing new products and refining existing ones with several projects currently underway to add to the Marine line in the very near future.”
