C2 Liquid Crystal

By SuperyachtDesign. Mar 10, 2010

To compliment their existing C1 Crystal Lacquer coating, Gtechniq have released a new easy to apply coating; C2 Liquid Crystal. Like its big brother this is an optically clear UV and anti-stain protective coating, but is based on silica rather than chemically bonding quartz, therefore C2 does not need the same professional application as C1. Whilst not offering the same degree of stain repellence or UV protection as C1, C2 - Gtechniq claim - offers UV protection (independent tests showed samples coated with C2 retained 26% more gloss than unprotected samples) and durability equivalent to most other professionally applied sealants.

For full protection C2 can be applied as a concentrate or at a 5% dilution as part of a regular wash down. C2 also bonds well to glass making it less prone to salt staining and easier to wash down.
