Compare GT1, Crystal Serum Light and Crystal Serum Ultra for improved gloss, chemical resistance and easier maintenance.
CrystalSurface Works installs professional Gtechniq ceramic coatings from our studios in Nottingham and Boston, Lincolnshire, with packages tailored to vehicle condition, ownership period, maintenance expectations and required warranty level.
Ceramic coatings enhance gloss, improve hydrophobic behaviour, resist environmental contamination and make regular washing easier. They do not replace paint protection film where stone-chip and impact protection are the priority, but they work exceptionally well as a standalone treatment or alongside XPEL PPF.
Every package begins with careful decontamination and paint assessment. Machine polishing is recommended only where the finish requires it, allowing us to protect the surface beneath the coating rather than simply sealing in existing defects.
We do not outsource preparation or coating installation. The vehicle remains with the Surface Works team throughout, and no part of the ceramic coating installation is handed to a non-accredited installer.
A practical introduction to ceramic protection for customers seeking improved gloss, strong water behaviour and easier routine maintenance without moving into a long-term professional warranty package.
A professional-grade coating offering strong gloss retention, chemical resistance and long-term protection. It can be installed as a standalone coating or combined with EXO for greater water repellency and ease of maintenance.
Gtechniq's accredited-only flagship ceramic coating, selected for customers who want the strongest available ceramic-only protection, maximum durability and a long-term manufacturer-backed package.
EXO is used to increase slickness, water repellency and resistance to road dirt. It is commonly applied over Crystal Serum Light or Crystal Serum Ultra to create a complete coating system with easier ongoing maintenance.
Surface Works is a small team by design. We don't overload the diary just to fit more cars in. We focus on the vehicles we have with us, and the work is handled personally by our team from preparation through to final checks. We'll also be the people discussing your car with you, recommending the right treatment, taking delivery of the vehicle and returning it to you when the work is complete.
Paint is only one part of the vehicle. Gtechniq's specialist systems allow us to protect wheels, glass, fabrics, leather, interior trim and convertible roofs with products designed for each surface.

HALOv2 product guide →Every ceramic coating package starts with a careful multi-stage wash and decontamination process. Product selection is adjusted to suit the vehicle, contamination level and existing protection, but the following Gtechniq system forms the basis of our process.
Applied selectively to high-soil areas such as lower panels, wheels and traffic film before contact washing.
A pH-neutral citrus pre-wash used to soften contamination without unnecessarily stripping existing protection.
Selected according to the vehicle and coating condition, using clean wash media and a safe panel-by-panel method.
Used where required to dissolve embedded ferrous contamination on wheels and suitable painted surfaces.
Applied locally where necessary to remove tar spots, adhesive residue and stubborn road contamination.
Used for a clear, residue-free finish before any dedicated glass coating is installed.
Our ultra-pure water rinse helps reduce mineral deposits and supports a cleaner finish before controlled drying.
Surfaces are inspected and prepared before the selected GT1, CSL, CSU or EXO system is applied.
