Lotus dealership Lotus Silverstone has become the first franchised dealer to offer paint protection from Gtechniq.

The showroom, based at the Silverstone racing circuit, will offer Gtechniq Platinum paint protection for its buyers of its new and used Lotus sports cars that guarantees to last for at least five years. Its team has received complimentary training by Gtechniq.

Matthew Haskins, Lotus Silverstone brand manager, said: “Gtechniq will enable us to finally offer the option of a quality paint protection that actually makes a difference.”

Haskins said the dealership was drawn to Gtechniq by its reputation within the specialist vehicle detailing communities.

Rob Earle, managing director of Gtechniq, said: “It is great to have Lotus Silverstone in the passenger seat as our first franchised dealership.”

Platinum is the latest product range from Gtechniq, creator of nano-based smart surface products for cars, and it includes the first ever dealership-applied antibacterial interior protection with antimicrobial technology.
