OPTiX OP1-GQP Professional Quartz Ceramic Coating

Professional Quartz Ceramic Coating

OPTiX OP1-GQP V3 is a professional-grade quartz ceramic coating designed for long-term automotive paint protection, high gloss, and easier ongoing maintenance.

It is made for people who want proper paint protection without overcomplicating the decision. OP1-GQP helps give paintwork a sharper, glossier finish while making the vehicle easier to wash and maintain over time.

Built around a moisture-reactive siloxane/silicone coating system, OP1-GQP forms a clear, cured, low-surface-energy layer over properly prepared automotive surfaces. Once cured, the coating helps reduce contamination build-up, improves wash behaviour, and adds a durable protective layer against UV exposure, road grime, water spotting, and environmental fallout.

This is not a wax, sealant, or spray-on maintenance product. OP1-GQP is a professional ceramic coating that requires correct surface preparation, panel wipe, controlled application, and curing time to achieve the best result.

Why Choose OP1-GQP?

OP1-GQP is a strong choice for new cars, daily drivers, work vehicles, and corrected used cars where gloss, protection, and ease of maintenance matter.

For new cars, it helps protect the finish from the start before the paint has been exposed to months of washing, sun, traffic film, and contamination.

For used cars, OP1-GQP works best after proper paint correction, giving the paint a cleaner, glossier, and better-protected surface moving forward.

The goal is simple: better gloss, easier washing, stronger protection, and a finish that is easier to look after in real-world conditions.

Real-World Coating Advice

We also keep coating advice realistic.

On most daily-driven cars, work vehicles, 4WDs, and cars exposed to harsh conditions, the paint will still collect wash marks, fine scratches, water spotting, and general wear over time.

A ceramic coating helps protect the surface and makes maintenance easier, but it does not stop real-world use from leaving marks forever.

That is why, when the paint needs to look its best again, a proper machine polish or paint correction is often the right way to reset the finish before applying a fresh coating.

For many vehicles, the best result is not just choosing the coating that claims to last the longest. It is choosing the right coating, applying it properly, maintaining it correctly, and knowing when the paint is ready to be refined again.

Coating Behaviour

OP1-GQP bonds to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces and continues to develop hardness as it cures.

The coating is moisture-reactive, which means correct storage, dry application conditions, and controlled installation are important.

Once cured, OP1-GQP becomes a semi-permanent protective layer. Removal requires machine polishing, compounding, or more intensive correction methods depending on the surface and coating condition.

Professional Installation

For best results, paint should be washed, chemically decontaminated, clay decontaminated where required, machine polished, and wiped down with a suitable coating preparation solvent before application.

OP1-GQP should be applied indoors, out of direct sunlight, to a cool and completely dry surface.

Application timing will vary depending on temperature and humidity, so the coating must be levelled correctly before it dries on the surface.

After installation, the coating should be kept dry during the early curing stage and maintained with pH-safe wash products and suitable ceramic-safe maintenance sprays.

Safety and Handling

OP1-GQP is a professional-use coating and should be handled with suitable PPE, including gloves, eye protection, and adequate ventilation.

Avoid skin contact, eye contact, inhalation of vapour or mist, and exposure to open flames or ignition sources.

Store sealed in a cool, dry place and keep the uncured product away from water, moisture, heat, and strong oxidising agents.

Is OP1-GQP Right for Your Vehicle?

OP1-GQP is a good option if you want a serious ceramic coating that improves gloss, helps protect the paint, and makes regular washing easier.

For the best outcome, the coating should be installed after proper preparation and paint correction where needed. This gives the coating the cleanest surface to bond to and gives the paint the best possible finish before protection is applied.
