Diamondbrite’s & Gtechniq Ceramic

Diamondbrite and Gtechniq at work

Prior to application of each product Mobile Car Spa will safe wash your vehicle followed by a full paintwork decontamination clear bar and polish. This will ensure the best possible results.

Here are the differences between the two products:

1. Composition

Diamondbrite: Diamondbrite is a polymer-based paint protection system. It typically consists of a clear liquid polymer sealant that bonds to the paint surface, forming a durable and long-lasting barrier.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq ceramic coatings contain silicon dioxide (SiO2) and other ceramic nanoparticles that chemically bond with the paint surface to create a strong, hydrophobic layer resistance to scratches and chemicals.

2. Durability

Diamondbrite: Diamondbrite offers good durability, providing protection against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and other elements for an extended period. Diamondbrite comes with a lifetime guarantee backed by the manufacturer of the product. An after care kit is also included.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq ceramic coatings are known for their exceptional durability. They can last for up to 5 years with proper maintenance, they provide long-term protection against UV damage, chemical etching, oxidation, fine scratches and more.

3. Hydrophobic Properties

Diamondbrite: Diamondbrite offers some hydrophobic properties, causing water to bead and roll off the surface more easily. However, its hydrophobic effect may not be as pronounced as that of ceramic coatings but dirt will be easily removed.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq ceramic coatings are highly hydrophobic, meaning they repel water effectively. This hydrophobicity helps to prevent water spots, dirt, and contaminants from adhering to the paint surface, making maintenance easier and reducing the need for frequent washing.

4. Appearance

Diamondbrite: Diamondbrite enhances the gloss and depth of the paint finish, giving it a smooth and shiny appearance. It can also help to protect against fading and dulling over time. Ensuring your vehicle looks as good as the day Diamondbrite was applied.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq ceramic coatings provide a high-gloss finish with enhanced clarity and depth. The coating creates a smooth and reflective surface that enhances the vehicle's appearance and makes it easier to maintain a showroom-like shine.

In summary, Diamondbrite and Gtechniq ceramic coatings offer different formulations and performance characteristics. Diamondbrite provides enhanced gloss and shine with long-term protection against various environmental factors, while Gtechniq ceramic coatings offer superior durability, hydrophobicity and added scratch resistance. The choice between the two depends on factors such as desired longevity, maintenance requirements, and budget.

Both products are great, and if you are saddened by the lack of water beading with diamondbrite, don’t be… We offer excellent options of hydrophobic add-ons such as Gtechniq EXO V5 which complement our protection treatments even more!

And if you’ve ever heard of Diamondbrite getting a bad rep because it’s been “applied” at a dealership well that’s because the dealership most likely has never actually applied the product. Don’t waste your money come direct to Mobile Car Spa and you’ll probably find we’re better priced too.
