and accessories available, we decided to create a simple system that im- proves productivity and uses a smart range of innovative products. This saves technicians having to decide which products to use. We’ve pro- duced process charts which make every step straightforward. The result is Perfect Finish Solutions,” he said.
“Our Automotive product team in Switzerland developed the best in class four grit system, 1958 siapro, eliminating unnecessary sanding steps, deliv- ering exactly the same result as a conventional six or seven grit system.
“What we have created is a four step system with a 100, 200, 300 and 400 grit. It’s a really compact range that comprises of only nine items; three strips, four discs, an aluminium oxide and a diamond blending disc - this optimised range makes storage and ordering streamlined too. The advantage of the sys- tem also is that all of your technicians will carry out tasks in the same way which means consistency of quality. Add to that the state-of-the art sia and Bosch tools as well as the Delmeq electric sanders and there is everything you could possi- bly need for every process that involves sanding or polishing,” he said.
Vellekoop said that the sia distributors are especially excited about the Delmeq range of electric sanders with brushless motors, which have prov- en extremely popular in Europe. Key features include:
• Quiet, Smooth and Intelligently Powerful
• 6, 7 and 8 Step Speed Control
• Significantenergycostsavingsvs
pneumatic sander
• Lowmaintenance,longruntime
and long lifespan
There’s also an Italian made workstation which is a bespoke design for the Perfect Finish Solutions range.
“I know one is always hearing the expression ‘one stop shop’ and ‘total solution’ but that is what we are offering now and we look forward to Australian body- shops reaping the benefits of the system,” he said.
SIA, BOSCH AND DELMEQ HAVE COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A NEW, SIMPLE TO USE FINISHING SYSTEM. SIA’S MARC VELLEKOOP EXPLAINS THE SYSTEMS’ ADVANTAGES.
Bosch and sia Abrasives have now integrated in Australia, and together with Europe’s Delmeq, this powerhouse team has launched their total solutions program for body, paint and detailing processes – ‘Perfect Finish Solutions’.
Marc Vellekoop, sia’s technical trainer and application engineer said: “With a growing demand for streamlined repair processes and the ever in- creasing pressure from insurers on repair times, we are complementing our range of Swiss quality abrasives with Bosch Professional Power Tools with world’s best six year warranty, Delmeq brushless electric sanders, Italian made workstation and a broad range of sia system accessories. To compli- ment this solution, new, easy to read Quick Process Reference charts that maximise your sanding process performance are now available, which lead your repair team through the shortest process path to deliver a perfect finish.

3M’S RETRO T TAPE OFFER
3M Automotive Masking Tape, gives the painter a high-performance product designed specifically for their needs at a bargain price, the company says. Designed to be used for general-purpose masking applications, this tape provides far superior performance in both solvent and water- based applications compared to similarly priced tapes, including 3M’s now obsolete purple 150. With an additional 5m per roll, every 10 rolls used effectively provides a free roll.
3M Automotive masking tape is a natural coloured, crepe-backed tape with medium ad- hesion. It resists lifting and curling on a variety of surfaces including mouldings, plastic, glass, metal, rubber and painted surfaces. Developed with a proprietary solvent-free adhesive for- mulation ensuring the painter can stick the
tape to their desired locations and paint jobs with confidence knowing the tape is going to stay in place – and not cause grief after re- moval. The tape will withstand panel tempera- tures of up to 121oC for up to 30 minutes which means it is suitable for traditional baking and gas fired infra-red curing applications. This tape will remove cleanly from all applied sur- faces, for up to 24 hours.
To celebrate the re-launch of 3M Automotive Masking Tape, 3M has designed these retro tees and you can get yours from July onwards for a limited time from your 3M Participating Authorised Distributor.
