IGL Ecocoat Premier – Ceramic Spray Sealant & Coating Topper

IGL Ecocoat Premier is a water-based ceramic spray sealant designed to deliver strong hydrophobic performance, increased gloss and a slick, dirt-repelling finish with protection lasting up to 6 months.

Originally developed as a maintenance product for IGL ceramic coatings, Premier can be used either as a standalone protective sealant or as a topper over an existing ceramic coating, where it acts as a sacrificial maintenance layer.

Its easy spray-and-wipe application makes it a practical option for enthusiasts who want longer-lasting protection than a traditional quick detailer without the more involved application process of a professional ceramic coating.

• Suitable for matte and gloss paintwork

BEST USED FOR

Ideal when you want more durable protection than a quick detailer or drying aid, without stepping up to a professionally applied ceramic coating.

Premier is particularly well suited to:

• Maintaining an existing ceramic coating

• Adding a sacrificial protective layer over ceramic coatings

• Protecting uncoated vehicles as a standalone spray sealant

• Increasing gloss and slickness after vehicle preparation

• Improving water beading and ease of maintenance

• Periodic protection between major detailing sessions

For ceramic coated vehicles, Premier is best treated as a periodic coating maintenance product, rather than something that needs to be applied after every wash.
