Gtechniq · coating care
A decontamination wash, the coating checked panel by panel, and a Gtechniq top-up where it has thinned. It is what keeps a nine-year coating on track to actually reach nine years.

Short answer
$199. A decontamination wash, the coating inspected panel by panel, and a Gtechniq top-up on any panel where it has thinned. Gtechniq’s guarantee also asks for a yearly inspection by the installer, and that inspection is free — if the coating needs attention, this is the service that handles it.
What is included
Coatings do not fail evenly. They thin at the leading edges first, where the car meets the weather.

Left until year six, it is a correction and a re-coat.
Yes. A coating makes the car easier to keep clean; it does not make it self-cleaning. Bonded contamination — iron fallout, road film, mineral deposits from hard water — sits on top of the coating and masks the beading. A decontamination wash takes it back off.
Most coatings that look tired at year three were washed badly, not worn out.
Gtechniq’s terms require the vehicle to be inspected every twelve months by the installer, and the inspection itself is free. Miss it and the cover lapses. If the coating is fine, we tell you and you are on your way.
If it wants attention, the $199 maintenance handles it: decontamination, a panel-by-panel check and a top-up where it has thinned.
The washing, yes — pH-neutral shampoo, two buckets, a clean mitt, and no automatic brushes. The aftercare page has the full routine.
The inspection and top-up are the part that needs someone who knows what a thinning coating looks like.

Where we work
Done in the shop at 2725 N Nevada Ave. Customers drive in from across the county.
ST6 North Nevada is the in-shop location: detailing, paint correction, Gtechniq ceramic coating, 3M paint protection film, window tint and vinyl, all under one roof in controlled light.
At 6,035 feet the sun is harder on paint, plastics and leather than at sea level, and winter leaves magnesium chloride and sand on everything. Most of what we fix is Colorado doing what Colorado does.
