G’Zox Techno Centre presents Real Glass Coat

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The recently launched G’Zox Techno Centre at PJS 11, Bandar Sunway, offers a wide variety of high end car care products for discerning customers. From windscreen to rims to headlights, G’Zox is able to offer complete car care solutions to satisfy even the most demanding car owners.

One of the highlight products offered by the company is the G’Zox Real Glass Coat, a hard protective layer which offers long-lasting luster and protection for your car’s paintwork. The secret to its outstanding durability and effectiveness is the use of a third-generation crystal coating formula, which consists of a strong and highly wear-resistant silicon dioxide layer.

Two fundamental characteristics define the performance of Real Glass Coat – water repellency and water sheeting. A water-sheeting glass layer forms the basis of this application with the addition of a high-performance water-repellent coating to provide exceptional paint protection leading to a long-lasting and highly-outstanding shine and luster.

Chemically, the glass coat does not react with most acids and alkali, meaning it is highly resistant to most contaminants and also the ill-effects of stronger car cleaning chemicals. This, in turn, leads to substantially reduced efforts being needed to clean the car. Owners can easily wash away dirt and contaminants which can now no longer embed themselves into the paintwork.

water repellent

Development tests by G’Zox’s development engineers suggest that the Real Glass Coat is more than capable of withstanding up to a year of usage. Regular maintenance and application of the specialized G’Zox Real Glass Coat Maintenance is able to stretch that period considerably longer.

Since its launch, Real Glass Coat was received extremely well by the market as a high performance bodywork glass coating. It is a body coating that is crystal-clear and shines like glass. At the G’Zox Techno Centre, you are getting not only a high quality product with the Real Glass Coat, you will also get high quality workmanship from the centre’s highly-trained team of professional detailers guaranteed to restore your car to head-turning levels of shine.

Vanli Auto – Your best source of original spare parts in town

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

As a business, the Vanli Group has a very modest-sounding name. It also started modestly in 1978, with 5 employees manning a single-rented office in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. More than thirty years on, the company remains entrenched in its birthplace, but it is now far from small.

In its early years, the company dealt only with Daihatsu parts, gradually expanding their reach and portfolio as they went on. Today, they have 11 premises spread throughout the Klang Valley, and is appointed authorized dealer of original parts for almost every automotive brand officially available in Malaysia. Three years ago, the group commenced export of genuine spare parts to various Asian and Middle Eastern countries.

vanli1
Vanli is now a massive presence along Jalan Ipoh

Although functioning primarily as a wholesaler to various smaller dealers around the country, Vanli has recently began venturing into the consumer market, selling parts directly to the end-user. Before you conclude that this is just another spare parts shop, read on.. it isn’t.

Most spare part dealers set their shops up with a massive counter fronting the premises and the customer just walks up to the counter, asks for his or her part, pays the money and goes. Vanli plays the game differently by setting up the first ever spare parts showroom in the country, complete with sofas, magazines, water-dispenser and air-conditioning.

vanli2
Shop for spare parts in comfort with Vanli

The showroom is located at the company’s birthplace along Jalan Ipoh, and while parking may be a bit of an issue in that area, the experience is quite different from visiting your usual neighbourhood spare parts shop.

Instead of greasy metal shelves, parts are arranged nicely and displayed in glass cabinets, sorted by car brand for customers to examine and their leisure. Shopping for spare parts, have indeed never been more pleasant.

Parts are nicely arranged into glass shelves

Thankfully, however, it does not end up being more expensive. Being a wholesaler, Vanli is probably the biggest volume buyer of parts in the country, this translates to lower costs per part and these savings can be passed on to the consumer.

Additionally, with an illustrious history and a highly-established reputation at stake, consumers can be assured that they will not be cheated with imitation parts sold by unscrupulous traders. The men and women at Vanli are hugely experienced in the spare parts trade, and they are already well-drilled in the art of separating the original from the fakes.

You can be sure of original parts with Vanli

If you’re in the look-out for reasonably-priced parts and at the same time seeking the peace of mind in buying original, you should look no further than Vanli Auto, where you are assured of quality parts delivered in a pleasurable shopping experience.
