Gtechniq

Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 Snow Foam Cleaner 1000ml

Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 is a pH-neutral snow foam (foam cleaner). Although Citrus Foam W4 is pH-neutral and thus harmless to sealants, it offers exceptionally high cleaning performance. Its formula, based on lemon essence, degreasers, and foamers, ensures that road grime, insect residues, and other contaminants are reliably dissolved. Dissolved impurities can be easily rinsed away with a pressure washer. The Best and Strongest Pre-Cleaner for Car Washing Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 has become one of the insider tips in the car care scene. Numerous positive tests, where Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 consistently emerged as a performance winner, along with various reports from YouTubers, have sparked a real hype and significantly boosted sales.

Gtechniq GWash v2 Auto Shampoo for Ceramic Coatings 500ml

Gtechniq

Gtechniq GWash v2 Auto Shampoo for Ceramic Coatings 500ml

Gtechniq introduces GWash v2, an improved version of the popular auto shampoo. This new formulation utilizes surfactants for a safer and more thorough cleaning. Gtechniq meets its high standards for eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning agents, as GWash v2 is 100% biodegradable. Additional innovative features have been added to this highly concentrated shampoo, providing excellent cleaning performance with just 20ml in 20 liters of water. Specially Developed Binding Agent for Thorough Car Wash When cleaning ceramic-coated or sealed surfaces, the high water repellency on the surface can cause cleaning agents to not adhere long enough, reducing effectiveness. This may lead to dirt particles being pushed over the paint with the wash mitt, resulting in micro-scratches and unnecessary strain on the coating. Gtechniq minimized this risk in GWash v1 by preventing the shampoo from detaching too quickly. GWash v2 now features a unique binding agent that creates a glide film, making washing even safer and gentler. Though specifically designed for ceramic coatings, it is also a high-quality shampoo for uncoated or synthetic wax-coated vehicles. GWash v2 - Perfect Not Only for Sealed Vehicles Perfect for ceramic-coated vehicles 100% biodegradable Highly concentrated; only 20ml for 20 liters of water needed Pleasant grapefruit scent

Our Optimized 3-pH Washing Methods for Reactivating and Caring for Ceramic Coatings

In the 3-pH wash, alkaline, pH-neutral, and acidic wash products are used in a targeted manner to prevent contamination and thus clogging of the hydrophobic protective layer of ceramic coatings. Such contamination can occur year-round – but is particularly likely in winter, as mineral deposits tend to form more on the paint surface during this season.

The structured approach begins with an alkaline pre-wash that dissolves most organic dirt – contact-free and without the use of microfiber gloves or washing tools. Afterwards, the vehicle is thoroughly rinsed to remove dissolved dirt particles.

This is followed by a pH-neutral hand wash that gently encapsulates and transports away any remaining loose dirt residues. The final step – the acidic wash – is specifically aimed at dissolving mineral residues. It is important to note: Many acidic shampoos are incorrectly marketed as regular detergents. However, our test series with ceramic-coated vehicles show that this rarely yields the desired results.

We recommend using acidic shampoo only when contamination due to lack of beading (beading effect) becomes visible. Ideally, the shampoo is foamed up, allowed to sit for 2–3 minutes, and then mechanically removed with microfiber before the vehicle is rinsed or sprayed off again. The mechanical assistance is crucial because otherwise mineral residues cannot be completely removed.

Do not forget: In the case of heavy soiling, surface rust is a critical issue. If not removed beforehand, it can settle in the wash fibers and cause scratches. Therefore, a surface rust test should always be performed after the alkaline pre-wash. If positive, a suitable surface rust remover should be applied and rinsed off thoroughly before hand washing begins.
