Gtechniq was founded by quantum physicist Drew Gill 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 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 work on very small scales. He also knew what modifications may be possible to add some really useful enhancements. Improvements such as dirt repellency, ease of washing, scratch, UV, and stain resistance, along with, long-term gloss and color stability. 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. The first product in the Gtechniq range to be produced was C1 Crystal Lacquer, closely followed by P1 Nano Composite Polish.
