For years, The Rag Company UK has been the trusted name for premium microfiber towels, mitts and accessories - the fundamental tools for a swirl-free finish. Now, we're thrilled to officially launch the full Gtechniq range, completing your detailing journey from a perfect wash to durable, long-term protection.
As a market-leading UK-brand, Gtechniq pioneered the "smart surface science" philosophy and their reputation is built equally on revolutionary ceramic coatings and the high-performance maintenance products needed to care for them.
Part 1: The Protection – Advanced Ceramic Coatings
The core of Gtechniq's offering is its advanced protection, designed to lock in your perfect detail and make future cleaning effortless. Applying a coating isn't just about glossy results; it's about saving time and preserving your vehicle's value.
Key Protection Products:
-
Crystal Serum Light (CSL): The industry benchmark. CSL delivers 3-5 years of extreme gloss and a durable, hard layer of protection. It offers superior resistance to damaging UV rays, harsh chemicals and fine scratches - ensuring your paintwork stays pristine.
-
EXO V5: is Gtechniq's top coat that prolongs CSL, adding an even more slick, hydrophobic finish to your paintwork. It'll make washing your car a breeze and EXO V5 can even be applied on its own.
-
C5 Wheel Armour: A ceramic coating specifically formulated for alloys. This powerful barrier reduces brake dust accumulation and chemically resists road grime, making your wheel cleaning routine a quick rinse instead of a long-winded task with wheel cleaners and other chemicals.
-
i1 V3 Smart Fabric: Protection isn't just for the exterior. This product uses nano-technology to make convertible fabric roofs and interior upholstery stain-resistant and waterproof, protecting against accidental spills and environmental damage.
These ceramic coatings ensure that once you achieve a flawless finish with your Rag Company towels, that finish is sealed and protected for years.
Part 2: The Maintenance – Care for Your Coating
A ceramic coating is only as good as the maintenance products used to wash it. This is where Gtechniq truly excels, offering a system of chemicals engineered to work with their coatings, ensuring longevity and performance.
You need effective cleaners that are tough on dirt but gentle on your protection layer. Simply put, using the wrong shampoo can quickly degrade the very coating you invested in.
Essential Maintenance Products:
- W4 Citrus Foam: A powerful pre-wash that safely loosens bonded surface grime. Using a pre-wash foam minimises physical contact during the wash stage, which is crucial for preventing swirl marks on coated finishes.
-
G Wash: The perfect pH neutral shampoo. It produces a high foam level for lubricity, safely lifting dirt without introducing swirls and leaving a high-gloss finish without damaging any underlying protection. The WM2 wash mitt is the ideal partner for this shampoo.
- W6 Iron Removing Wheel & Paint Cleaner: This non-acidic formula safely removes the most stubborn contaminants - like iron particles and brake dust - from paint and wheels. It’s a vital step in maintaining both the aesthetic and chemical integrity of your coatings. It's a good idea to use W6 once every few months to fully decontaminate your paintwork and wheels, especially if you've noticed a drop-off in water beading, etc.
- Quick Detailer (v2): A must-have for light cleaning and boosting gloss between washes. It safely removes fingerprints and light dust, leaving behind a slick, non-sticky finish that extends the hydrophobic effect of your coating.
-
C2 v4 Ceramic Sealant: This powerful spray sealant offers an exceptionally simple and fast application, providing instant, effective protection against UV and dirt for up to 6 months. It's the smart way to achieve a durable, hydrophobic finish. It can be used on its own or to add slickness to your existing coating.
The perfect pairing is using these advanced Gtechniq chemicals with the safety and absorbency of our premium microfibre towels and wash mitts, which now includes Gtechniq's own towels; MF2 and MF7 Drying Towels, MF1 Coating Towels and MF3 Plush Buffing Towels.
