Gtechniq Works


When only the best will do for your car


When you love your car, only the best will do – and Gtechniq Works in Upper Heyford has a rep- utation for providing the very best in automotive detailing, and consumer products that produce excellent results at home. Its Centre of Excellence opened three years ago


and since then the team has worked on everything from customers’ new cars to some of the world’s most sought-after supercars. Bringing vehicles ‘back to new’ or preparing


them for car shows requires dedication and the best products. Gtechniq have developed the technology and products to do just that, and are keen to share the know-how and products with customers look- ing to work on their own cars at home.

Gtechniq was founded by quantum physicist Drew Gill in 2001,


who was driven to use his scientific expertise to create ‘the world’s most beautiful, perfectly finished, smartest and most intelligent surfaces’. Gtechniq Smart Surface Science was the outcome and when Drew handed over the reins of Gtechniq in 2006 to current Managing Director Rob Earle, Rob’s passion for cars, boats and de- tailing prompted him to develop the products for the automotive and marine industries. Head of Detailing Adam Eaton typically carries out detailing


on around seven cars a month. Each detail typically involves a full decontamination of the paintwork, cleaning the wheels, en- gine bay and revival of interiors using Gtechniq’s growing line of detailing products. Car owners are advised that the best results from detailing are


achieved in the Centre of Excellence or at an accredited dealer, where a temperature controlled, dust-free environment exists. While this type of environment is almost impossible to replicate at home, the great news is that Gtechniq has a range of maintenance products that can be used at home to retain that freshly detailed finish. Head of Marketing Dom Berry outlined the first, and perhaps most


important, change of habit: “Probably the biggest issue when cleaning a car is that most people are still using sponges, which trap all the grit and dirt between the face of the sponge and the paint and mean you’re effectively using an abrasive. “Our wash process includes using a good quality wash mitt and spe-


cially designed buckets with grit guards so that you’re safely removing all the harsh dirt and debris off the car. After that, we have products that offer a durable protection that is water and oil repellent and impervious to extremes of pH.”
