Keep that Showroom Style With Autoglym LifeShine car paint protection

We all love that new car look. You pick it up from the showroom, the seats are soft, the paint is bright and the glass is smudge free. Not a hint of dirt hanging about any of the wheel arches or slight but annoying drink stains on the back seat. Pity it never stays like that, eh? Let the kids, dog or - let’s face it - adults loose on your back seat and there’ll soon be spilt drinks all over the place, brake dust building up on the alloys and grime around the edges of the windscreen. Unless you’re going to put your car in for a regular and pretty deep valet - and how much is that going to cost? - there’s not much you can really do about it.

Only, now there is. Autoglym LifeShine is a car protection system that can protect your car’s paintwork, glass, upholstery and fabric: helping it retain that showroom appearance. Not only will the process protect your car for the length of your ownership, it will also help it retain much of its value. We’ve all heard the truism that a car plummets in value the moment you drive it off the forecourt, but much of the vehicle’s resale value is based on its cosmetic condition. Autoglym can protect against many of the smudges, marks and stains that make a car appear old before its time.

The Autoglym LifeShine process is available to 70% of the UK population. Fully trained technicians will travel to meet you and can carry out the protection process on site. They will bring with them everything they need, including water, products, an electricity supply and a maintenance marquee so they can work on your car no matter what the weather. The process is only currently available in the UK and Ireland through fully authorised ownerships, so you can rest assured that you are paying for a quality service.

First, your car has to be prepared for the process. This means thoroughly cleaning the vehicle to remove any dirt and/or tar spots that are already there. Although car protection is most commonly applied to new cars before they leave the showroom, this section of the treatment is most important on nearly new and used cars, as they are obviously more likely to have amassed some dirt. A clay bar and lubricants are used to remove any contaminants that may mean the LifeShine doesn't adhere correctly. The interior of the car is similarly cleaned and vacuumed, and any pre-existing stains or marks removed.

LifeShine provides your car’s paintwork with an invisible protective layer. As well as protecting your paintwork from even the harshest of weather - it offers protection against acid rain, and industrial fallout and dirt - the coating brightens your car’s shine. LifeShine is also water repellant. This makes cleaning easier, as fluids bead on the surface instead of sinking into upholstery (creating stains) or streaming off the bodywork in sheets. When used on car windows, it also ensures better visibility and greater safety in poor weather conditions.

We all want to be proud of our car and that means keeping it looking as good as possible. Autoglym LifeShine provides you with a car that you can be proud to use and confident in being able to sell when necessary.
