CLEVELAND, Ohio – National Automotive Experts and NWAN (NAE/NWAN) is pleased to announce their partnership with Ultimar, Inc.
As a provider to the auto, powersport and RV industries, it is important for us to have programs that are available across each industry.
The newly-formed partnership allows NAE/NWAN to provide direct manufacturer access to Ultimar’s industry-leading interior and exterior surface protection product technologies. Ultimar and the entire Granitize Family of Products are known throughout the chemical industry for their high-performance appearance protection products, EPA antimicrobials and EPA disinfectants. Their products include protection for the exterior painted surfaces of a vehicle, the interior fabric and leather/vinyl surfaces, as well as Bac Shield™ - an antimicrobial product proven to eliminate 99% of germs and microbes.
“We are very excited to offer Ultimar’s full suite of appearance products,” said David Neuenschwander, President of NAE/NWAN. “As a provider to the auto, powersport and RV industries, it is important for us to have programs that are available across each industry. Our relationship with Ultimar further enhances our chemical product offerings.”
Ultimar's chemicals can be paired with any of NAE/NWAN’s surface protection product warranty agreements. These agreements provide consumers with protection from weather-induced fading, UV exposure, oxidation, hard water etching, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, road de-icing agents, acid rain, insect damage, including love bugs, accidental spray paint overspray and industrial fallout. Coverage is also provided for the interior fabric and carpet against stains, dye transfers, rips, cuts, tears, punctures and burns. Antimicrobial protection inhibits odors, mold, mildew, fungus, microbes, germs, bacteria, viruses and odors from harmful microbes.
“Ultimar is blessed to partner along with NAE/NWAN,” said Marty Raymondo, President of Ultimar. “The Ultimar technology is unique and unlike the everyday appearance products. These technologies have been used by transportation industry giants such as Boeing, Learjet, and Rolls Royce. Ultimar’s cutting-edge technology, together with NAE/NWAN’s exceptional service, excites us to have the responsibility in assisting all NAE clients to not only maximize profits, but more importantly, to provide their clients with worry-free performance appearance products that will maintain the like-new appearance for many years.”
The new program is available for installation at eligible dealerships now. Contact Cliff Childers for additional information.
