Autoglym launches car care experience day

Autogylm the UK’s largest car care brand, which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary, has launched a new car care experience day aimed at helping improve the knowledge and detailing skills of amateur enthusiasts. Delegates will be taught in Autoglym’s new state-of-the-art, self-contained indoor training facility at its headquarters in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, which is fully equipped with advanced wash bay facilities, bespoke classrooms and top-of-the-range tools, equipment and lighting.

To create this new course full of top tips, Autoglym has assembled its team of experts with over 100 years of combined experience in the car care sector.

The new Car Care Experience Day (£99.00 incl. VAT) will provide guidance on the best products to clean, restore and protect a vehicle’s interior and exterior surfaces. The range will be split into modules, with hints, tips and demonstrations provided to make the car cleaning experience even more enjoyable. Instructors will support in identifying common car care related issues, how to fix them, and how to prevent them in the future. They’ll be on hand to answer any questions throughout the day.

The course includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Autoglym’s research, development and production facilities. Delegates will see how Autoglym’s signature bottles are filled and packaged ready for global distribution, while a visit to the laboratory will showcase how products are developed and tested before being put on sale.

Laura Fippen, Head of Technical Services at Autoglym, said: “We’ve been developing premium car care products for 60 years, giving our team an unrivalled level of expertise in cleaning, restoring and protecting vehicles, inside and out. Our latest course provides a fantastic opportunity for car enthusiasts to learn from our team of talented instructors on how to care for vehicles using Autoglym retail products. They will get hands on advice, share experiences, and better understand how to achieve the perfect finish that should have the neighbours wondering if they’ve just bought a new car.”

Autoglym is also opening up its professional Machine Polishing Training Course (£360 incl. VAT) to those consumers who would like to gain or further develop their skills when using rotary and dual-action polishing machines. The course will encompass the methods involved in clear coat rectification and show attendees how to remove common defects that appear on both new and used vehicles, such as swirls, bird lime markings, scratches and holograms. The course demonstrates how to achieve a quality finish while minimising unnecessary reduction in the lacquer clearcoat, which can invalidate a vehicle’s paintwork warranty.
