Ceramic Protection (And Why Your Bike Needs It).

British weather and bikes don't always mix well. You'll leave home on your beloved bike, and before you know it, your once sparkling steed looks like it's been dragged through a pond backwards. That's where bike ceramic protection comes in, it's a proper shield against the elements and a way of maintaining that showroom shine. We've tried and tested Gtechniq's system and can recommend it for perfect results.

Why bother? Well, imagine your bike wearing a super-slick raincoat. That's essentially what the ceramic coating does. It forms a tough, chemically bonded layer designed to repel water, mud, and all the other delightful grime our roads and trails generously provide.

You gain a bike that's easier to clean, stays shinier for longer, and looks less like it's been through the mill. Plus, it protects against those pesky UV rays that can fade your paintwork, keeping your bike looking its best when the sun appears.

Key benefits include:

• Increased Durability: The coating's hardness provides resistance against superficial scratches and abrasions.
• Enhanced Hydrophobicity: Water and contaminants are effectively repelled, reducing cleaning frequency.
• UV Protection: The coating shields paintwork from ultraviolet radiation, mitigating fading and oxidation.
• Sustained Gloss: The ceramic layer enhances the paint's depth and reflectivity.
• Simplified Maintenance: Contaminants are easily removed, reducing the need for aggressive cleaning agents.
• Up to 24 months of protection: A long-lasting, durable coating.

You can apply this yourself, but unless you're a dab hand and have the patience of a saint, you might end up with a slightly smudged job. That's where Forge 1860, your local bike shop heroes, come in. We have a dedicated service to fully clean and correctly apply the Gtechniq ceramic coating to your frame for £250.
