Boat Cleaning - Enjoy it more

You know how it goes… You get the boat ready, while they’re sleeping in, you drive down to the boat ramp and do all the hard work putting it in the water, park the car and everybody sits back enjoying the ride while you worry about navigating and looking out for other craft. Now, when you pull into the drive knowing that the boat needs cleaning, everybody disappears into the pool or the air conditioning and you’re faced with the thankless task of cleaning the boat, all by yourself.  Wouldn’t it be worth finding a product range that actually reduces the amount of time spent cleaning as well as the amount of product that ends up in the marine environment?

Perth Graphics Centre introduces G|Techniq Marine System. Even the best finishes now will look worn and weathered in years to come without proper treatment and care. Spending your dollars wisely now will mean less maintenance in the future so please check out the G|Technic Marine System now. Send us your address by e-mail and we’ll send you a brochure, completely free of charge. Outlined in the brochure is the range of products suited to marine craft and how these products can help you maintain the appearance of your prized possession.

Gelcoat or PU Paint? Either way, we have product to suit. We also provide a buffing service for tired surfaces before sealing with C1 Acrylic Lacquer. C1 is only available to Authorised Professional Applicators such as Perth Graphics Centre however you can purchase C2 any time and apply it yourself. Either way, give us a call and we’ll happily explain to you how the system works and the benefits of G|Techniq Marine System.

Paint Protection - Protect your car now!

GTechniq C1 Crystal lacquer is designed to be applied by the Professional Applicator. It can be applied to new vehicles and those that have had their paint restored using P1 NanoPolish. For more information on C1 and P1 for cars, please go to www.gtechniq.com and read the full story.

Before you purchase the paint protection package offered by the car dealers, please take the time to read up on GTechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer. Perth Graphics Centre is authorised to apply this product to your new vehicle. Costs vary due to the amount of coverage so please contact our office for further information about cost. New cars can be treated in approximately 4 hours providing they are cleaned correctly first. Curing takes a few more hours so the vehicle will need to be booked in for a full day. After treatment we do have a recommended maintenance procedure and if followed, your vehicle will look fantastic for years to come. We haven’t come across a better product… period!

The process of application is labour intensive but does not involve heat or anything else that can affect your paint in a negative way. As the application process does not involve buffing, we can’t burn paint edges and don’t leave swirl marks in the paint. How will you know if it is done properly? After curing, throw a bucket of water over the paint and watch the way the water simply runs off.

Q: If I can’t buy C1 and apply it myself, what is the next best option?
A: C2 Spray. C2 is simply sprayed on. After spraying, dry with a high quality microfibre drying towel. C2 forms part of the maintenance program and can definitely be used after C1 to maintain high gloss and hydrophobic qualities.

Q: Can I buy these products in my local auto shop?
A: No. GTechniq is only available in WA through authorised resellers and Perth Graphics Centre.

Q: You’ve only mentioned a few products here but I see many different products when I go to GTechniq’s website. What about the other products?
A: Most GTechniq branded products will be available either off the shelf or within a week or two of ordering. Check back here for more information as we’ll be posting a lot more product information, tips and tricks shortly.

Q: I live in Country WA and can’t get to your premises. What can I do?
A: Call us and discuss the pros and cons of having it done elsewhere. In some cases, the dealer will deliver the vehicle to us and collect it before it ships to you. If you just want to buy products, we can ship these after payment.

If you have any other questions, please call us on (08) 9248 6226 during normal business hours, Monday to Friday.

GTechniq Smart Surface Science now in Western Australia

3S stands for Smart Surface Science. Many surfaces can now be treated to enhance appearance, prolong life and reduce cleaning time. Car paint will go dull over time as the surface oxidises and is affected by airborne contaminants. UV light also wreaks havoc. The same can be said for water craft and aircraft. What about glass? Have you seen glass when it’s new? What about when it has been installed for a number of years? The difference time and exposure make can readily be seen.

Now that GTechniq provide products to treat these types of surfaces and applications, you can extend the life of paint, reduce cleaning time and see more clearly through glass. We are proud to announce that Perth Graphics Centre is now distributing GTechniq products in Western Australia. More information to be posted shortly. In the meantime, if you have any enquiries, please call our office on 08 9248 6226.

Ventureshield Stone Chip Protection - Nissan GT-R

The R35 Nissan GT-R in the photo above is worth a lot of money. Keeping it in good condition is difficult when using it around the streets of Perth but when it also goes racing, the job is that much harder. On the race track the front end gets hammered by stones and rubber and the only way to prevent that is by using Ventureshield Stone Chip Protection Film. The full front and 600mm of the bonnet were covered as well as some areas around the wheel arches. The mirror backs and bonnet scoops were also covered.

The casual observer will be unlikely to notice the Ventureshield film as it is almost invisible when fitted correctly. If you are looking to protect your car or bike or truck from stone chips that devalue the vehicle, give us a call to arrange to have your vehicle protected. If you live too far away to bring the vehicle in, we also provide “kits” that you can fit yourself. These kits provide full instructions but unless you are confident, we do recommend that you let our professional team do the job. If you only require film in lengths, we also supply 600mm film which is 100microns thick and 300mm film that is 150microns thick.

We look forward to helping you protect your vehicle from Stone Chips with Ventureshield from Perth Graphics Centre.

Stonechip protection film - BF Falcon GT

Here’s a great example of our stone chip protection film for cars. The customer below had a BF Falcon GT, and wanted to keep it in pristine condition.

We covered the entire front end of the car, including the leading 200mm of the bonnet - not that you’d realise it. That’s the beauty of the VentureShield film. It is completely invisible. We covered the front bumper, fog lights, headlights, A-pillars, mirrors and the rear bumper’s undersides.

Being the only authorised reseller and factory trained company in Western Australia, we know how to get a professional result which will literally last you a lifetime.

Our specially trained fitment technicians will work hard to make sure your car is as lovingly cared for as you do, with the end result being most customers ask if we’ve actually done the job - it’s that invisible!
