NEWSLETTER August 2008
With the season well underway we appear to have suffered
with rain so far this summer. Lets hope things improve before
it starts getting too late and the nights start to draw in.
A Glaze has been very busy this year. Launches in Hong Kong
(see news) Australia (see news) and extended markets in France
and Spain. It appears that more owners are deciding to protect
their investments which in most cases hold high values and
in this climate with increased fuel pricing, you need to protect
your craft. Some of the products have had a dramatic increase
in sales such as our Pre-Cut which is only used to bring back
dull areas on painted and GRP surfaces before sealing in the
new Gloss appearance.
NEW PRODUCTS
Active 3
This product has had very good first year sales and is proving
very good in the market. On cars this is used to remove bugs
from the front of the car with ease leaving a new shine which
has added additional Glaze to the finish. In the Marine industry
it has been used to clean marks on GRP and painted surfaces
leaving a fresh gloss. Try our Active 3 which is priced at
£13.69 plus vat. We have also seen the product develop
in the Aviation industry with British Airways using this on
the engine cowling when they have marks from exhaust stains
or oil bulid up. This prevents them having to have additional
wash and seal programmes which mean that they would have longer
down time. This product is also used with our Eradicator Sponges
where we have larger pads made for the airlines which adhere
to velcro on the mop systems that we sell enabling the crew
to reach areas that cannot normally be reached. The areas
around the cabin doors suffer from black marks from the rubber
seals from the gantry and these sponges remove the marks without
affecting the glazed areas.
Teak System
Our Teak Care system has been a very good seller this season
with some large industry users in Holland and France. We are
pleased with the results so far and with the Semco Sealer
that we sell, the teak bears up very well and lasts a good
few months longer that it would without any sealer used. We
have now filmed the third process and at present we are editing
it onto our DVD presentation which is shown at the shows.
LONDON BOAT SHOW 2009
As our customers are aware we do not exhibit at the Southampton
Boat Show in September although Toomer and Hayter are seeking
to have stocks on their stand this year. We will of course
be present at the London Show held at Excel in January. We
have a new location as the show has moved around and as soon
as we have our new official stand number you will be notified.
Changes this year to the stand in design as we have a new
position but still on a corner so that our demo desk will
be in full view, demonstrating our products as usual with
Mark doing his bit to show how all our products work. We have
also decided to make the DVD available to customers who would
like a copy rather than just a brochure as it shows how the
product range works as well as instructions on how to apply.
We, as stated have re edited the DVD with extra products and
will be having these pressed by a DVD manufacturing company
rather than copy ourselves which will allow us to have copies
pressed for different regions. If you wish a copy please e
mail michael@marineaglaze.com
and we shall be pleased to send you a free copy before the
show.
Dinghy/Rib Cleaner
We have sent out our new Dinghy Cleaner which we hope will
be tested and reported on before LBS. All the major boat magazines
have been sent a copy for trial and we hope they will be pleased
with the results. We have tested the product with the RNLI
Sheerness who have stated that it has brought their orange
Rib back to a brand new appearance. They have also used our
Dinghy Sealant so we are looking forward to hearing back from
them how maintenance has been reduced and that the Rib stays
cleaner. The product is now available and is priced at £13.60
plus vat. If you wish to use the Eradicators with it and then
seal the Dinghy afterwards these are also available on our
web site.
Car Products
Our products are growing in this market as well especially
in Asia and Australasia with top brands using our A Glaze
Sealants. BMW, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lexus, Toyota to name
a few are already having tests done in Hong Kong since our
presentation. Our agent in Perth has also secured a contract
with a car importer who is A Glazing around 100 cars a week
in preparation for them going to the dealers and then on to
the customer. Our car Air Conditioning products is also faring
well especially in the climates in these areas where air con
is used most of the time.
Any photos or comments would be welcomed to place on our
web site. Without you the customer we would not have such
a great reputation. With the economic climate it appears that
we all wish to protect our cars, boats and aircraft so that
its value remains and also preventing costly paint/Gelcoat
repairs. We continue to strive in improving our products delivering
quality and a guarantee that as one customer wrote" It
is great to buy a product that does what it says on the bottle"
I end this Newsletter on that note !!
Thank you for your continued support and if you are a new
potential customer I hope that you find what you are looking
for.
FAQ's
Many of our customers after A Glazing their craft ask what
to use when washing the boat. We recommend our wash n shine
shampoo which can be purchased in 3 x 500ml bottles with a
great discount. Although it is not necessary, most of our
customers prefer to use our recommended brand as it contains
glaze also. If you do not wish to use this product, please
make sure you use a boat wash that is made for GRP surfaces.
Some may strip the glaze due to their detergent strength -
DO NOT USE A CAR SHAMPOO
as this generally contains traffic film remover.
What do I use to remove scuff marks
after glazing? - The pink preparation is good for this
as it will remove oil/film/scuff marks and will not take the
A Glaze from the surface of your craft. You should have some
left over after glazing - if not a bottle will always come
in handy. Our eradicator pack will also remove marks and not
remove glaze.
We wish all of our customers a safe
and enjoyable season.
