I was looking into this the other day and I would also be very interested to here from anyone that has had it done.
I need to get the motorway stone chips blown over but I had pretty much decided that i was going to take plunge and get this done
on my Spyder. When I mailed about it the reply was that it was practically as deep a shine as best of show carnuba but bullet proof.
The detailer i mailed was Project karma based just outside Bristol.

And the mail Zaff replied to me.

Hello Nick

in response to your first question, as long as the paintwork has been
fully baked, cured and refinished at the bodyshop, the paintwork
contrary to popular belief is ready to be treated.

the G techniq chemically reacts with the acrylic clearcoat to create a
new coating over the whole car. There is a deepening effect once the
coating is applied especially noticeable on a darker paint.

The coating comes with a 2 year / 30,000 mile guarantee. It will far
outlast last carnuaba based wax protection. This is G techniq's main
benefit over using a Swissvax wax or any other wax or polymer based
protection. .

The finish from both products are fantastic. The swissvax in my
opinion gives a fuller, richer glow and finish but there really isn't
a lot in it when compared side by side.

Due to the nature of the G techniq I have found far superior results
from indoor application only, so would only be willing to do such a
service from inside a suitable garage or preferable at my unit in
Saltford Bristol. Also over a two day period to ensure full bondong
and coverage.

Outdoor application leaves the door open to air-born contaminants that
will effect the final finish.

I hope that answers your question.

If you would like a call back please advise a suitable time and I will
you.

Kind Regards

Zaff

Hi all, I popped in to see them on Friday. As far as I'm aware they can't get rid of stone chips by using this product you will have to get the bonnet etc resprayed. They informed me that once applied it would last around five years and takes around three days to apply to your car. When I visited them they were in the process of treating a 911 Porsche, the paint work looked very good & shiny but didn't see it before they started. I asked what it would cost to do my QP and they said around £350 - £450 depending on the condition.

As I have just had a quote for the stone chip blow over at £700 , i need to check my car funds as the blow over turns out to be the whole front end , then the Gtech and also 2 wheels refurbed. So I'm looking at around £1250 in total. I may need to save some more money :-)
