Major companies operating in the automotive refinish market are focusing on technological advancements, such as high-performance VHS clear coat, to better serve customers. High-performance VHS clear coat is a durable, protective finish designed for vehicles and surfaces, providing enhanced resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and scratches.

This increases productivity and cuts the cost of materials, power and labour. The XPRESS605 formula is gun-ready with a simple 2:1 mix of clear coat and hardener, eliminating the need for thinners or other additives. Featuring a 63% solids content higher than any competitor and low VOCs, it achieves a dry film thickness of approximately 60 microns. _x000D_
