When it comes to keeping my own Corvette clean and protected, I’ve turned to the smart surface protection experts at GTECHNIQ and their outstanding product lineup of specialty detailing formulas that protect, maintain, and restore all the different surfaces on my car.
Over the course of the last two decades, the automotive detailing market has undergone a monumental shift with the rise of ceramic coatings to protect our vehicle’s painted exteriors from dirt, road grime, and bird droppings. GTECHNIQ was one of the first on the scene with a ceramic automotive coating and it’s only gotten better as technology has advanced.
C1 Crystal Lacquer was GTECHNIQ’s first ceramic coating, and it came out in 2004 after a quantum physicist named Drew Gill put his scientific training to work in creating a paint protecting formula that worked at the molecular level. Over the years, the passionate scientists at GTECHNIQ have continually tested and refined their formulas, and in 2017 their premium ceramic coating Crystal Serum Ultra was announced.
Crystal Serum Ultra bonds to your Corvette’s exterior paint and it offers unmatched levels of gloss, swirl protection, and resistance to harmful chemicals and other natural elements like tree sap and bird droppings that can harm your paint’s finish. While other ceramic coatings say they offer a 9h level of protection, Crystal Serum Ultra boasts a Mohs Hardness rating of 10h – making it one of the “hardest” ceramic coatings in the industry.
The magic happens at the microscopic level as Crystal Serum Ultra has two nanoparticle layers that bond to your paint’s surface to offer the ultimate in ceramic protection. The first is a revolutionary new 7nm nanoparticle layer that separates from the rest of the coating to penetrate and fill in those microscopic imperfections on your exterior. This flexible 7h base layer is also resistant to extreme temperature changes. On top of that is a 20nm nanoparticle layer that forms an incredibly hard 10h topcoat designed to protect against abrasions, swirl marks, chemicals, and bird droppings, providing the ultimate protection for your Corvette’s exterior for up to nine years guaranteed.
Crystal Serum Ultra is applied to your car’s exterior with a “one-wipe application” and after buffing with a microfiber cloth, it begins to cure after being exposed to water molecules in the air. It takes 24 hours for the product to bond with your Corvette’s exterior, and once it’s cured, there’s not much you can do to take it off. That is why Crystal Serum Ultra can only be applied to your Corvette by an accredited detailer who has specifically been trained by GTECHNIQ at their U.S. headquarters in Atlanta.
Extensive real world and laboratory tests proves that Crystal Serum Ultra is thicker, glossier, and its 10h hardness offers unsurpassed abrasion and chemical protection.

Crystal Serum Ultra’s hydrophobic properties are further enhanced when stacked with an optional level of GTECHNIQ’s EXOv5 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating or C2 Ceramic Sealant. GTECHNIQ’s hydrophobic coatings have anti-static properties that repel dust and dirt particles, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Crystal Serum Light
For the Corvette enthusiast who prefers to do the detailing work themselves, GTECHNIQ does offer a DIY ceramic coating called Crystal Serum Light that features 50% of the protection offered by the professionally-installed Crystal Serum Ultra, but it can be machine polished from your vehicle should it be applied incorrectly. GTECHNIQ offers EXOv5 and Crystal Serum Light together, and you can save 20% when buying it as a kit versus buying each product separately.
GTECHNIQ’s line-up of cleaning formulas and specialty coatings are made for use by the average automotive enthusiast, but if you would prefer to have it or any other GTECHNIQ products added by a professional, visit gtechniq.com to find your nearest accredited GTECHNIQ detailer.
