FAQs
How long does the protective coating last?
The dirt-repellent and water-repellent coating can last for up to 3 months, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance.
Can I use this shampoo on a car with a ceramic coating already applied?
Yes, this shampoo is safe to use on vehicles with existing ceramic coatings. It is designed to complement and maintain such finishes.
Is this product safe for matte paint finishes?
Yes, the advanced low-foam, high-lubrication formula is specifically designed to be safe for matte and satin finishes, minimizing the risk of damage.
What is the correct dilution ratio?
The typical dilution is 1:1000 (10ml of shampoo per 10 liters of water). Always refer to the product label for the most accurate and up-to-date dilution instructions.
Do I need to use a separate drying towel?
Yes, after rinsing, it is recommended to dry the vehicle with a clean, high-quality microfiber drying towel to prevent water spots and achieve a perfect finish.
Will this shampoo remove existing wax or sealants?
While it is a powerful cleaner, it is formulated to be gentle and should not strip away existing wax or sealant layers when used at the recommended dilution.
Where is Gtechniq based?
Gtechniq is a UK-based global company.
Troubleshooting
Product appears too foamy or not foamy enough.
Ensure the product is diluted correctly according to the instructions. Foam levels can vary based on water hardness and agitation, but the cleaning and protection properties remain effective.
Residue left on paintwork after rinsing.
Thoroughly rinse the vehicle with clean water, ensuring all product has been washed away. You may need to rinse from top to bottom multiple times.
Protection not lasting the expected duration.
Environmental conditions, frequency of washing, and type of contaminants can affect protection longevity. Ensure the vehicle was properly prepared before application and avoid harsh chemicals during subsequent washes.
Difficulty lifting heavy dirt or grime.
For heavily soiled vehicles, pre-rinse the car to remove loose dirt. If necessary, use a slightly stronger dilution (consult product guidelines) or a dedicated pre-wash product before using the shampoo.
