Do you sell automotive films in an extremely hot climate area? And do you find yourself replacing product due to adhesives that simply won’t hold up? Then you need to check out VMS.
VMS stands for VanGuard Mounting System and its just one of the features Advantage automotive films offer. Aegis Films of Norcross, Ga., produces these films and company officials say VMS offers a high temperature rating on its mounting adhesive and that its Advantage films will hold up to even the harshest environments while remaining crystal clear.

Advantage films are 100-percent American made and are designed to the specifications of installers. Company officials guarantee no color change and offer a nationwide lifetime warranty.

NEW ALTERNATIVES
Don’t Turn Them Away

When times are tight, so are consumers’ wallets. And when a customer walks into your showroom and balks at your prices, chances are he’s going down the street to someone offering a less expensive alternative. Officials for Solamatrix Inc. say the latest addition to their company’s Sun-Gard® film line can help solve this dilemma. “We have heard the message from our dealers loud and clear and have created a new automotive film value series to address the market reality that our customers are facing,” says Bryan Young, business development manager for the St. Petersburg, Fla.-based film manufacturer.

But, for the sake of your company’s reputation, you can’t afford to offer a film that costs less yet doesn’t deliver on quality. Solamatrix officials say GP Max™ fits the bill by offering high-performance at prices that are approximately 30- to 50-percent lower than many conventional premium films. GP Max is a 1.5 mil product with an attractive neutral color, excellent heat shrinking properties and it’s backed by a factory warranty.

Spectrally-Selective Automotive Films

Earlier in 2008, Commonwealth Laminating and Coating grabbed everyone’s attention by combining two terms that aren’t typically associated: spectrally-selective and affordable. At SEMA, the company grabbed attention on the show floor by combining these elements with a brand new 2009 Corvette.

That’s right—the company has expanded its SunTek Ultra-Vision™ line to include automotive films. Unlike some spectrally-selective films, Ultra-Vision films are made with all non-corrosive raw materials and are available to all dealers at competitive, factory-direct pricing.
