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. For this reason, Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 is also available in an economical 5-liter version. Thanks to its biodegradable formula, it can be used in most car washes and self-service wash boxes. Customizable pH Level Compatible with All Types of Paint Protection Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 is compatible with ceramic coatings from Gtechniq and all other curing sealants based on SiO2, such as CarPro, Gyeon, Servfaces, and Nanolex, in any conceivable dosage. By changing the dosage, Gtechniq Citrus Foam can be adjusted from pH-neutral to moderately alkaline. It can thus also be used for waxed vehicles, silicone- or polymer-based paint sealants, or other protective products. Due to its high oil separation effect, the foam cleaner is also suitable for engine cleaning when overdosed. Citrus Foam W4 can be applied with a foam lance or a foam sprayer (e.g., Kwazar or Gloria). Easily removes road dirt such as grease, oil, insect residues by dissolving and rinsing pH-neutral, acid-free formula 100% biodegradable Gtechniq Citrus Foam W4 is available in 1 and 5-liter containers.

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

During the 3-pH wash, alkaline, pH-neutral, and acidic washing products are strategically used 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 build up on the paint surface during this season.

The structured approach starts with an alkaline pre-wash, which breaks down the majority of 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, which gently encloses and carries away any remaining loose dirt. The final step – the acid wash – specifically targets mineral residues. It’s important to note: many acidic shampoos are incorrectly marketed as regular detergents. However, our test series with ceramic-coated vehicles reveal that this rarely yields the desired results.

We recommend using acid shampoo only when contamination is visibly present due to lack of beading (water-repellent effect). Ideally, the shampoo should be lathered, allowed to act for 2-3 minutes, and then mechanically removed with microfiber before rinsing or rinsing again. The mechanical support is crucial, as mineral residues cannot otherwise be fully removed.

Don’t forget: in the case of heavy soiling, surface rust is a critical issue. If not removed beforehand, it can deposit in the washing fiber and cause scratches. Therefore, a surface rust test should always be carried out after the alkaline pre-wash. If the test is positive, an appropriate surface rust remover should be used and rinsed off completely before starting the hand wash.
