Major savings at bodyshops earns high praise for new tech launch in its first year
The scientific breakthrough of ‘Engineered Abrasive Technology’ (E.A.T.) is saving bodyshops thousands of pounds, and as a result has gained a widespread and rapidly growing fanbase.
E.A.T. is at the core of Farécla’s G360 Super Fast polishing system and brings with it the remarkable benefit of enabling G360 to polish out P1500 scratch marks faster than competitors can sand to P3000 and then polish.
Eliminating the need for the very significant expense of P3000 discs makes G360 a firm favourite with bodyshop managers, whilst the system’s speed, ease of use and reduction in reworks are what has got painters enthusing about it.
According to Mark Taylor, Applications and Training Manager at Farécla: “In my 40 years in the bodyshop trade G360 is by a distance the best polishing system I have seen. The new science behind it has resulted in a step-change in performance. And it’s not just the speed of cut, either. Painters really appreciate the transparent film which the product develops because it lets you see the scratches disappearing – no more need for the guesswork necessary if the scratches are hidden beneath a matt area flatted with P3000. Another big plus is the common problem of scratches re-appearing being greatly reduced or even eliminated, the guys all love that”.
Marketing Manager, David Stokes is equally positive: “We’ve had so much glowing user feedback on the G360 system that we have made a feature of it in our product advertising. A typical example is this one from A W Repair Centres ‘Fantastic new innovative product, saving time and money, has changed our polishing process dramatically’. And online there is so much positivity surrounding G360 from end users that we have started collating the photos and videos on a G360-Wall-of-Fame on our website.”
All the positivity has unsurprisingly translated into commercial success: in the 12 months since its official launch at Automechanika Frankfurt, the G360 system has set new records at Farécla for a product in its launch year.
For those yet to experience the new system, a limited number of trial packs are available to qualifying bodyshops on request to Farécla Customer Services: 01920 465041.
