PLASTIC PRIMER CONVERTER
By deleting a whole step from the refinish process, 6041 MAXMEYER Plastic Primer Converter from Protec is the simple new way to add speed and slash cycle-time.
A large proportion of refinish jobs involve plastic components, as well as conventional metal panels, etc. Forget using the traditional method of having to apply an adhesion promotor to the plastic components and letting it flash-off before applying primer. In contrast, 6041 MaxMeyer Plastic Primer Converter uses clever, up-to-the-minute coatings technology that streamlines the priming process and removes an entire time consuming step.
SIMPLE AND ECONOMICAL TO USE
Despite its high-tech formulation, 6041 MaxMeyer Plastic Primer Converter is easy to use. When preparing Maxmeyer VOC HP Wet-On-Wet Primer for a job that includes plastic components, simply substitute 6041 MaxMeyer Plastic Primer Converter for the recommended amount of thinner in the mix. After adding the recommended hardener, the primer formulation can be applied over plastics and other recommended substrates (including e-coat panels) in the usual manner and cured as per normal. Preparation of plastics and other substrates is carried out via the recommended method. At the molecular level, 6041 MaxMeyer Plastic Primer Converter goes to work delivering the necessary adhesion promoting properties to any commonly used plastics. As well as deleting an entire step from the refinish process, it’s easily learnt, leaves little room for error and needs no new investment. As 6041 MaxMeyer Plastic Primer Converter replaces the thinner that would normally be used, material cost is significantly reduced.

MIRKA SYSTAINER - BOXED UP AND READY TO GO
By packing all the hi-tech tools needed for denibbing and targeted polishing into a handy carry case, the new MIRKA Systainer offers a simple, convenient and productive solution.
The concept for the MIRKA Systainer is simple. It aims to give collision centres access to a cost-effective, cutting-edge option that supplies eve- rything needed to quickly and conveniently target de-nibbing and polishing operations, wherever and whenever they want, while minimising the af- fected area to save valuable time. The centrepiece is MIRKA’s latest battery powered tools which are proving to be game changers. Created by its in- house development team, this range of battery powered tools may be com- pact and portable but they deliver big performance and this includes the three tools that come with the new MIRKA Systainer – the AOS-B 33mm de-nibbing tool, ARP-B 77mm polisher and AROP-B 77mm random orbital

polisher. In addition, this handy kit contains two batteries (one being used in a tool and a spare on charge), as well as de-nibbing roses, a selection of polishing pads and polishing compounds and other accessories.
TARGETED PERFORMANCE IN A CONVENIENT, PORTABLE PACKAGE
It’s all about using battery powered tools with a compact footprint, along with specialised accessories, to save valuable time on a wide range of everyday jobs. This can include everything from prepping for a blend or polishing prior to a spectro reading, through to de-nibbing and polishing out de-nib scratches or polishing small items, such as mirror casings. For example, The MIRKA AOS-B 33mm de-nibbing tool precisely targets and removes dust nibs using a circular random orbital motion. In contrast to typical manual de-nibbing scratches, these fine de-nibbing scratches can then be quickly and effectively polished out with the ARP-B 77mm polisher or AROP-B 77mm random orbital polisher.
Utilising advanced Li-ion battery technology, not only makes these MIRKA tools powerful, high torque and long lasting, they are also not tied down to a power point. As a result, the robust MIRKA Systainer case can easily be carried anywhere it’s needed and because it makes it simple to keep everything in one place, you won’t have to waste time
searching for items. Forget being restricted to the detailing bay – this portable de-nibbing and polish- ing arsenal can be used wherever it’s needed, from a quick job in the carpark to somewhere down the street or across town. Simply take the MIRKA Systainer to the vehicle, polished the af-
fected area and it’s ‘job done’.
The MIKKA Systainer is available now from authorised MIRKA distributors across Australia and
