Sikkens has launched a new VOC compliant clearcoat, Autoclear LV Superior, based on the very latest clearcoat technology for outstanding gloss and hold out.

Autoclear LV Superior is available in two versions; Fast or Medium to give bodyshops flexibility and choice with no compromise in quality. Autoclear LV Superior Fast requires only a 15 minute bake and provides excellent gloss and hold out. Autoclear LV Superior Medium is suitable for larger jobs and resprays, with the same superb gloss and hold out.

“Autoclear Superior exceeded all our expectations; it was so easy to polish and the gloss is phenomenal,” commented Mark Chivers, Bodyshop Manager at D.G Weaver. “It’s so good we won’t use anything else.”

The new clearcoat has been designed for ease of use, so minimal training is required to introduce the product and ease of polishing reduces process time.

“When tested against leading competitor clearcoats, Autoclear LV Superior consistently came out top with none of the problems sometimes associated with high solids clearcoats,” said Ed Hilborne, Sikkens Product Manager.

“Brilliant sag resistance, beautiful flow, no popping even when excessive product has been applied to overlap areas – Autoclear LV Superior is the best clearcoat I have ever used,” said Eric Boast, Paint Shop Supervisor, Vehicle Accident Repair Centre.”
