News Release R-1001
“UNIGLOBE Trim Molding Protection Film” is Released.
A Solution to White Turbidity (White Rust) on Aluminum Moldings,
a Common Trouble of European Cars
We introduce a total solution to deterioration of exterior parts.
In addition to UNIGLOBE Headlight Protection Film, FE TRADE CO., LTD starts to provide “UNIGLOBE Trim Molding Protection Film” as a solution to deterioration of exterior parts. UNIGLOBE provides a total solution to deterioration over time including white turbidity (white rust) on aluminum moldings around windows, which has long been a common trouble of European cars. Now painted surfaces and headlights are not the only ones for which the protection film is effective. We aim for installers to be able to offer their customers highly satisfying services.
■ Background of the Launch
European cars have played an important role for the development of motorization in Japan and have established their firm position along with evolution of Japanese car care. However, whereas the designs of car models born in different cultures and environments are novel, there are some disadvantages due to the materials which are not suitable for Japanese climates. Especially, aluminum moldings around windows are easy to have white turbidity even when the cars are brand new and have long been a trouble for both sellers and car owners.
Today, it is common to apply coating after polishing in the Japanese auto detailing market, but as a new physical measure, we launched a business category of “UNIGLOBE Trim Molding Protection” which has a higher protection.
