Gtechniq®What Ceramic Coating Changes
See the Difference in Water, Gloss, and Maintenance
Choose a surface behavior below to see how Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light changes the way properly prepared paint responds to everyday use.
Water Beads and Releases More Easily
CSL creates a hydrophobic surface that helps water form tighter beads and move off the paint more easily during rinsing and drying.
You still need to dry the vehicle properly, especially with Arizona hard water.

What it does
- Durable ceramic surface protection — up to 5 years
- Enhanced gloss over properly corrected paint
- Chemical and UV resistance against everyday exposure
- Easier ongoing maintenance and routine care
What it doesn't do
- Does not prevent rock chips or impact damage — ceramic coating is surface protection, not impact protection
- Does not remove paint defects — paint correction is performed before the coating
- Proper washing and maintenance are still required

Paint Correction Comes Before the Coating
Every East Valley AutoWerks ceramic-coating service includes the preparation and paint correction needed before Crystal Serum Light is applied.
Inspect + Prepare
We inspect the paint under proper lighting, wash the vehicle thoroughly, and remove bonded contamination before polishing begins.
Correct the Paint
Machine polishing reduces correctable swirl marks, haze, and light marring. The amount of correction depends on the actual condition of your paint.
Apply Crystal Serum Light
Once the finish is corrected and residue-free, CSL is applied to the prepared paint to create the durable ceramic surface.
Inspect + Cure
The finish receives a final quality inspection, begins its initial cure, and is delivered with simple aftercare instructions.
Most vehicles are completed in about one day. Heavier paint defects can require additional correction time and may increase the final price.
Ceramic Coating in Arizona
Built for Sun, Dust, and Hard Water
Phoenix paint lives in a tough environment. Ceramic coating does not eliminate maintenance, but it gives properly corrected paint a more durable and easier-to-clean surface.
Sun + UV
Adds durable UV and chemical resistance over properly prepared paint exposed to Arizona sun year-round.
Hard Water
Hydrophobic behavior helps water release more easily, making mineral-heavy Arizona water simpler to manage during routine care.
Dust + Road Film
Dust and everyday contamination still need to be washed off, but a coated surface helps them release with less effort.
Serving Phoenix and the East Valley, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and surrounding communities.
