LifeShine has exploded in popularity in recent years, building upon the excellent reputation it has garnered since its launch. It’s a proven, industry-leading vehicle protection system, one which can provide an invaluable additional revenue stream to your business while also providing your customers with a tangible benefit.
The need to provide adequate aftersales support to customers while still maintaining all-important margins has long been a tricky balance to maintain, and this has only become tougher in the present, uncertain climate. It can therefore be no coincidence that LifeShine has become increasingly popular, with thousands of dealerships turning to its class-leading vehicle protection system as a means of offering customers extra value for money.
The complete LifeShine kit includes all elements for the three-part treatment covering the interior, glass and bodywork, together with an aftercare collection and lifetime guarantee for your customers.
First up is LifeShine’s Interior Protectant. This product coats each individual fabric strand multiple times to protect the surface from marks and permanent stains, which means spills will remain on the surface and are easily wiped away. It’s applied to seats, carpets and in the boot space and is ideal for families with young children where spillages are often a problem. Dust and sticky marks can be easily wiped off the surface to prevent staining. This product is a unique water-based formulation, is repellent to most liquids, and performs consistently across a wide range of interior surfaces, including fabric, leather and alcantara. It won’t affect the appearance when it’s applied to leather finishes.
Glass Guard is applied to the exterior of the side and rear windows and is a one off application that doesn’t require topping up. It’s a durable, strong formulation that performs exceptionally well and works by repelling rain and road spray so treated windows give improved visibility for safer driving.
LifeShine’s exterior coating, Bodywork Carbon Shield, contains a unique blend of silicones and solvents. It’s durable, easy to apply, and enhances a vehicle’s paintwork to result in a high gloss finish with a deep long-lasting shine. The formula is resistant to the harsh chemicals and protects against UV damage and paintwork fade. The hydrophobic properties prevent dirt attraction and make ongoing cleaning easier, and the protection not only helps retain that all important showroom shine but can also enhance the residual value of the vehicle at part exchange.
The most recent formulation also adds a further point of difference, not only to offer added value for the customer, but also to help dealerships increase their penetration and profit – it contains colour-enhancing properties to give an improved depth of colour. This feature is particularly noticeable on used cars, which is seen as a benefit for dealerships where they may be seeing a decline in new car sales and are focusing on used cars to help boost margins.
Alongside a very comprehensive aftercare collection containing a number of products from the award-winning retail range, LifeShine is also supported by a lifetime guarantee that offers customers complete peace of mind. It’s wholly supported by Autoglym and their national team of technical service specialists.
The training, sales and technical support offered by Autoglym to its LifeShine dealerships has played a major role in its growth and success. Each dealership works with a dedicated Business Manager and has a full range of sales aids, sales tools and point of sale materials at its disposal.
One of the unsung reasons for LifeShine’s impressive market penetration is down to its maker. Autoglym is a royal warranted company and has been a fixture of the car care landscape for generations, with its distinctive packaging and royal crest having graced almost every garage and lock-up in the country! Autoglym’s position within wider car culture means that it’s trusted by the vast majority of consumers, which goes a long way towards explaining why LifeShine is the also most recognised brand amongst decision makers and sales people, and also why, on average, penetration rate increases by an average of 8.6% when dealers switch to LifeShine.
LifeShine is endorsed by some of the largest and most exclusive OEMs and Dealer Groups around, including VW Group, Honda, Vauxhall, Mazda and Subaru, Sytner, Marshall and Group 1 Automotive.
