Gtechniq vs Modesta: which ceramic coating is right for your car?
Both are professional ceramic coatings, and Kieran applies both. The difference is what you're buying. Gtechniq is built for durability, up to 9 years with Crystal Serum Ultra. Modesta is built for the finish, adding depth and a wet, candy gloss, with coatings from 3 years up to 10.
Gtechniq: incredible durability
Kieran is an Accredited Gtechniq Ceramic Coating Installer. Gtechniq keeps the finish from your paint preparation clear and sharp, beads water and makes the car quick to wash. It's the one to choose if you keep your cars for years, cover a lot of miles, or want protection that asks the least of you.

Modesta: the very best finish
Modesta is a glass coating chosen for how it makes paint look. It adds depth and a wet, candy gloss on top of the corrected paint, the look people usually get from an expensive wax, except it lasts years rather than weeks. It's the one to choose if the finish matters most to you.
