Gtechniq was founded by quantum physicist in 2001, out of a total dissatisfaction with the performance of paint protection products at the time. Everything from waxes, to new-fangled polymers and PTFE based miracle treatments, nothing on the market offered any meaningful durability, either in looks, or protection. Worse still, he found that most of the products actually performed poorer than the paints they were supposed to protect.
From this discontent came a simple idea, ‘To engineer the world’s most beautiful, perfectly finished, smartest and most intelligent surfaces. Surfaces that do much more than simply look great when new.’
Drew’s background meant that he had a good understanding of how the forces, shapes and structures of a surface works on very small scales. He also knew what modifications may be possible in order to add some really useful enhancements. Improvements such as dirt repellency, ease of washing, swirl, UV and stain resistance, along with, long-term gloss and colour stability.
Born Out Of Pure Science
Our Roots
So, after surveying many avenues of material science, in particular nano-scale surface engineering, lots of hard work and many thousands of failures, Gtechniq, Smart Surface Science was born. To date, the Gtechniq range includes composite ceramic coatings, leather protection, fabric protection, wheel and trim protection, shampoos and much more.
Over the last 10 years, Gtechniq’s products have been continually improved to provide a range that outshines and outlasts the competition. Gtechniq has built a fresh, innovative brand, different to any other available on the market.
Gtechniq’s line of surface preparation and finishing products are designed to perfect, protect and maintain all automotive, marine and aviation exteriors and interiors in a way no traditional products can match.

Technology
The technology behind the science.
Gtechniq smart surface science combines the latest in fields such as nanochemistry and supramolecular chemistry, with rigorous real-world and laboratory testing.
The premise for all Gtechniq products is to hit a sweet spot of performance, ease of application and price. We apply the same principle to our whole range from the simplest shampoo, right through to our ultra durable, scratch resistant paint coatings. Massive advances in silicon technology driven by a high global demand for faster and smaller processors have thrown up a wealth of new and innovative raw materials, offering a range of solutions that were never possible even five years ago.
The world of nanoengineered molecular technology is fast moving and increasingly complex. Gtechniq’s formulators have the experience, connections and motivation to bring to the market, class leading products, proven to improve every aspect of surface care.
Product Philosophy
Based on science, innovation and ease of use
Gtechniq was born out of pure science, the love of cars and the desire to create the best car care products, with a focus on protective coatings – the cornerstone of our success.
The Gtechniq brand aims to produce the most innovative surface care products in the world following the discovery that other so called ‘long-life’ aftermarket coatings simply did not come anywhere close to their marketing claims.
If you want the best protection for your car, boat, aeroplane or home, then look no further. Gtechniq bridges the gap between innovation and reality, engineering the world’s best surface care products.
All of our products are based on science, innovative materials and ease of use. They have been designed to deliver maximum long term visual impact, protecting against the elements and day-to-day use.
Global Reach
Available in over 12 countries
Since its launch in 2015, Gtechniq’s Platinum has seen strong growth not just in the UK but internationally. Gtechniq Platinum is now offered in over a dozen countries including the USA, Canada, Poland, France, Norway, Middle East, Australia, Pakistan, Switzerland, Mexico and South Africa.
Gtechniq have worked closely with our network of global dealerships to constantly develop our product offering. Recent developments have see Gtechniq release a Platinum package built specifically for paint protection film (PPF) and vinyl.
