New Store in Vegas

We just moved to a new store:


A Warranty Is Only As Good As The Company Behind It!

Or is it ‘Buyer beware!’

Recently a film manufacturer closed their doors. I have friends and clients who were satisfied customers of this supplier. I think this is a wake-up call for all of us. During tough times we need to ‘inspect what we expect.’ If you are relying on the warranty of a product that is critical to your business success, it’s probably a good idea to confirm on a regular basis the financial strength of that supplier. The products you use in your business are a key factor in the success of your business. Most products come with warranties or guarantees and these can be understood as ‘promises’ to you the buyer. What happens when the manufacturer of that product goes under/closes the doors? Where does that ultimately affect YOU and what type of exposure does that leave YOU?

Our industry is a niche and I personally am aware that several of the smaller players are highly leveraged (they owe a lot of money) which leaves YOU with exposure risk for reliable product and warranties over time. If these companies do not survive and go under like the one that did last month, where does that leave YOU? What is your exposure? This leaves all of their clients helpless and with all the liability of standing behind a product they never even manufactured! Where will you get replacement product for a warrantable issue if this happens to you? If your supplier doesn’t survive, YOU will have exposure to pay for this out of YOUR own pocket. This is why it is critical that you assess the financial strength of any supplier that is key to your business success. Plan to survive. With the challenges in our national economy, your risk is greater. Make sure you understand what that risk is.

The film we distribute is manufactured by Avery Dennison, a multi-billion dollar company and a member of the Fortune 500 companies. I think the odds are much in favor of this company surviving the downturn in the economy. If you’re not doing business with PRO-TECT Film, it’s time to make the change and align yourself with a company that can help grow your business.

It’s here! 2 New Products For Your Arsenal

After years of using all sorts of protectant sprays, creams and
polishes, trying to find the “perfect” solution, the search is finally
over. PRO-TECT Film is pleased to announce 2 products that will add
joy to your installations AND increase your bottom line:

1) PRO-TECT Film Sealant

* Seals and Protects
* Leaves a Non-Stick Finish That Lasts
* Protects Against Smudges & Abrasions

Developed for the aerospace industry, PRO-TECT Film Sealant was
created to provide ultimate protection from the harshest elements.
PRO-TECT Film Sealant is a unique anti-corrosion sealant developed to
provide the finest protection available for urethane protection films,
clearcoat paints, fiberglass, aluminum, chrome, alloy metals, and
other substrates.

This product was designed to aid in both the ease of application and
to add extra durability and longevity to the product. Apply this
product before application and note the super slick surface it leaves
behind eliminating squeegee issues! Long-term this product will help
to keep the surface feeling slick and resilient from the harsh
elements the film will face. It helps during installation as it
eliminates the squeegee ’sticking’ to the film’s surface and cuts down
on scuffing of the surface. It is important to always keep the films
surface wet with soap/water solution while squeegeeing. Originally
developed for the aerospace industry, PRO-TECT Film Sealant was
created to provide the ultimate in protection from the harshest
elements. PRO-TECT Film Sealant is a unique anti-corrosion sealant
developed to provide the finest protection available for both coated
and non coated urethane protection films.

2) PRO-TECT Film Polish

* Cleans & Revitalizes
* Dries Clear and Streak-Free
* Protects Against Smudges & Abrasions

The polish was designed to be used in a total ‘care package’ for the
consumer as well as an easy to use product to keep any film looking
new year round without the excess smudging and wiping other products
cause. PRO-TECT Film Polish is both easy to use and apply, helping to
keep the surface clean while leaving a high gloss non-stick finish.
PRO-TECT Film Polish is noted for its ease of application and nice
glossy streak-free finish it leaves behind. Using PRO-TECT Film
Polish frequently between washes and wipe downs will help to eliminate
dirt build up along the edges.

By adding a care package to your system, you eliminate these common
questions. “When can I wash my car? What can I clean my car with?
What type of waxes or products can I use on my paint protection film?
Etc.” By offering a total care package, you remove the headache from
the equation and offer a simple and perfect solution to all of the
questions the consumer usually has. Additionally you eliminate
harmful products from being used on the film that can be detrimental
as well as adding value through a care package, something customers
will take note about how serious you take both your business and the
care you give your film product. Many customers come back stating how
well the product works and how much they like the package we offer.
We offer these care packages that come with a microfiber cloth, care
instructions and warranty card sealed in an airtight bag.

Collision with PRO-TECT Film?

Just how tough is PRO-TECT Film?

Remember Mr. Vic’s Corvette in the Silver State Classic? Well these pictures are his car! He had an accident and smacked the front end of his car as you can see from the pictures. Not only was he impressed with how well the film protected against rocks and bugs, but to his amazement, not even a wall/guard rail could get through the film and to the paint!

Jay Cutler Captures Mr. Olympia, Again

A well-deserved congratulations to our sponsor Jay Cutler for winning Mr. Olympia 2007 just last weekend! This is his second consecutive Mr. Olympia title. Clips from the competition:




Silver State Classic Race Results

The Silver State Classic Challenge was just held this weekend (September 13-16, 2007) and here’s what happened with our film on Mr. Vic’s Supercharged Corvette:

Mr. Vic tech’d out at 172 mph and maintained an average speed of 140 mph for 90 miles. Altitude variations of 6700ft to 4500ft during the race resulted in various road debris attacking the front of his car. Mr. Vic said,

“When the race was over, I could barely see out of the front of my windshield because it was covered with so many bugs along with the front of my car, it looked destroyed. When I got home I took a warm sponge and everything washed off the front of the car and there was absolutely no damage to the painted surface at all. Once again I am impressed at how well the PRO-TECT Film product holds up under these harsh conditions which no average car will ever see.”

A total of 138 vehicles competed in the Silver State Classic this year and Mr. Vic took 5th place in his class. Congratulations to Mr. Vic and we are glad he finished the race safely!


PRO-TECT Film used in the Silver State Classic

This is Mr. Vic’s Supercharged Corvette with over 650 HP at the rear wheels and will be competing in the Silver State Classic Race. It’s “tech’d” at 165 mph but will maintain a constant speed of 135 mph with our product on his car! Mr. Vic has the Full Hood/Full Fender, Bumper, and Headlights pro-tected on his vehicle and this will be his 3rd race with the film in a years time. Mr. Vic said, “I am impressed with how well the PRO-TECT product holds up at these speeds and not one chip on the front of my vehicle!” We wish Mr. Vic the best of luck and will post his race results next week.
