RENAULT UK DOUBLES SALES WITH G-3 GLASSCOAT

1/4/2012 5:35 AM EST

Sales of Renault G-3 Glasscoat have soared with Renault UK since taking the decision to look for a technically superior paint protection product at the end of 2008. This is despite the unprecedented toughness within The UK car market.

The flagship product which Paintseal Europe (PSE) offers to Renault is a paint coating called G-3 Glasscoat. The main chemical in G-3 Glasscoat is a form of ceramic liquid glass that toughens into a hard coating, which prevents oxidisation and retains the “new car” look for purchasers of the product.

The glass-based coating gives surfaces water-repellent properties and a smoother surface on paintwork, which in turn, allows any dirt to be removed easily. The water-repellent coating has a self-cleaning effect that allows a certain amount of dirt to be removed when it rains – certainly a boon in the UK. G-3 is also extraordinarily long-lasting and correctly fitted, the coating is stable for over five years on a vehicle doing average mileage.

Edward Heseltine, Renault UK Product Manager of the showroom portfolio products commented: “We knew we were taking a risk, but we needed something to give us the edge in the paint protection market. However, since we made the switch to G-3, sales have more then doubled compared to previous products.

“The G-3 Glasscoat is also competitively priced especially with the technology and complex formula used. The PSE team also educated all our dealers on the correct way to apply the product to cars. Our team liked the fact that it does not require multiple steps to apply like other products, just one application lasts for five years.

“Our partnership has gone from strength to strength with PSE and now Renault France are also distributing G-3 Glasscoat to the rest of Europe.”

Below is a testimonial Renault received following this year's Renault World Series. It was submitted via the G-3 website after the customer met the PSE team during the weekend.

"When I purchased a six month old Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet, I decided to have G-3 Glasscoat put onto the car following recommendations from friends with black cars who had used other protection products. G-3 Glasscoat is simply brilliant.

Other family members have had their cars treated with competitor products and the results don't seem (to me) to be a patch on those from Glasscoat. Even though it has been well over a year since application the car is looking brilliant - no need to spend hours waxing and polishing -just a quick wash over and dry and it looks awesome. I would recommend the product to anyone with any brand of car looking to protect it - and not just because of the product, the after care is brilliant too!"

Rob Collins, PSE Director added: “We have a great partnership with Renault and it is getting stronger. Sales are already successful in the UK and we predict it will also be as strong in Europe, in the first month over 1,600 G-3 kits was sold. It is our intention to continue to supply new and innovative aftercare solutions and technically excellent products to Renault.”

Renault offers bronze, silver and a Renaults Sport Pack.
