UDS Launches Diamond Finish Environmental Protection
United Development Systems has launched UDS Diamond Finish, a new environmental protection program for franchised auto dealers.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — United Development Systems Inc. (UDS) announces the launch of its upgraded environmental protection program, UDS Diamond Finish, now featuring Nano Diamond Ceramic Technology.
Available immediately to any franchised dealer looking to boost their bottom line with a first-of-its-kind program that is fully earned at the time of sale and application. While the use of ceramic protection is not new to the industry, it no longer requires years of training to handle or hours to apply, according to Brian Crisorio, vice president at UDS.
“The UDS Diamond Finish program integrates into any PDI process adding mere minutes, rather than hours, through a foam/spray on delivery system,” Crisorio said. “Couple the high-quality materials with an industry-leading limited warranty and a winner is born.”
The UDS Diamond Finish program is eligible on vehicles of any age with seven years of A-rated coverage. There are no mileage restrictions, never a deductible, and the program includes coverage against acid rain, insects, tree sap, bird waste and more. Additionally, full interior protection , including rips, tears, burns, and punctures, comes standard with wheel protection available as an upgrade, all according to the company.
