Challenges
As an accident repair centre, oil contamination posed a significant challenge in this environment. It was essential to fully encapsulate any contaminants within the substrate to ensure proper adhesion of the Flortex Professional. Timing was also critical, as the business was extremely busy. Our installation team had to coordinate closely with the Custom Coachworks team to minimise disruption and ensure minimal downtime for the operation.
