Lumax G3 Ceramic comes in two formulas, 5-Year and 8-Year. They’re built on the same technology, so the choice mostly comes down to how long you plan to keep your car.
What’s the same
- The same molecular nanocomposite technology
- Protection for paint, metal and wheels
- Exceptional UV, scratch and chemical resistance
- An insanely hydrophobic, high-gloss finish
- Installed by certified technicians at Crash Champions
- A warranty registered for you at install, with no inspections required
What’s different
The 8-Year formula is engineered to last longer: up to 8 years of protection versus up to 5, depending on environmental factors. Each formula is backed by a matching warranty.

Same technology. Pick the lifespan that matches your plans.
Caring for either formula
Care is identical: give it 2 hours before driving, keep it dry for 24 hours, wait 2 weeks before the first wash, then hand wash with a pH-neutral soap about once a month. Skip wax, because it dulls gloss and water beading. The aftercare guide has the full routine.
