Automotive Aftermarket Training for

Business Managers &

Service

Chemical Application• To sell automotive aftermarket

chemicals you must become familiar with how they are applied.

Rust Protection• Rust protection is fogged into all the

vehicle body catvities.• Rust protection is not visible to the naked

eye, but is visible under black light.• This is a one-time application.

Rust Protection [continued]

• Rust protection has a positive charge and will adhere to all bare metals

• It will also insulate wiring and interior door mechanisms.

Undercoating• Undercoating is sprayed on the

underside of the vehicle to all painted surfaces.

• This is a one-time application.

Undercoating [continued]

• We do not spray: parts that create heat: engine parts, exhaust and brake lines.

• Undercoating also has the unique property of 'self healing' meaning that if a vehicle aquires a stone chip, the undercoating will mend itself.

Paint Sealant• Paint sealant is applied to the exterior of

the vehicle and takes approximately thirty to forty minutes to cure.

• Paint sealant is re-applied every three years (at the owners expense.)

Paint Sealant [continued]

• When buffing off paint sealant you must heat up the surface of the paint and impregnate the paint in order to fill in the peaks and valleys for a mirror-smooth finish.

Fabric Protector• Fabric protector is applied to all the fabric

surfaces including head-liner and carpets.• This is a one-time application.• Floor mats are not covered under warranty.• Fabric protector takes approximately 1

hour to dry.

Leather/Vinyl Protector

• Leather/vinyl protector is applied to all leather and vinyl surfaces. This protector gives a semi-gloss finish.

• This is a one-time application, and should be applied with a clean applicator pad!

undercoat my vehicle?• 1. To protect your vehicle

from the elements of extreme weather: salt, sand, and sleet.

Question:• Why should I paint

seal my vehicle?• 1. Virtually eliminates

the effects of harmful UV rays.

sleet.

juice.)• 2. Food stains (ex. Ketchup, mustard.)• 3. Body oils and suntan creams.• 4. Shop grease and dirt.• 5. Writing utensils.• 6. Children!• *Note: The fabric protector adheres to all the

fabric fibres individually, to prevent the product from wearing off.

Question:• Why should I leather/vinyl protect my

vehicle when I can just wipe leather or vinyl clean?

• 1. Leather is porous and will absorb the stains from our clothes, body, and any of lifes' accidents.

• 2. Leather is a natural material and needs to be protected from wear and tear just like a well-used leather jacket!

Frequently asked questions:

• Q. How do I as a business manager package my products to obtain maximum gross?

A. Price your products individually and then as a package to show the customer complete value for their dollar.

A. If the customer is financing and they have a payment in mind , include your package in this cost and then disclose that they can also afford to protect their new purchase as well.

A. Design a lease package for paint sealant and leather/vinyl or fabric. The customer is ultimately responsible for the interior and exterior of their vehicle.

A. As a last resort use a waiver to explain to the customer that they have declined to purchase the protection package after being presented with it.
