CLEVELAND -

National Automotive Experts and NWAN (NAE/NWAN) recently finalized a partnership with Xzilon involving a topic that concerns many vehicle buyers nowadays — sanitation.

The newly formed partnership allows NAE/NWAN to offer Xzilon’s interior and exterior surface protection products. Xzilon is known throughout the industry for its high-performance appearance protection products. Its products include protection for the exterior painted surfaces of a vehicle, the interior fabric and leather/vinyl surfaces, as well as XMicrobe— a sanitizing product executives said is proven to eliminate 99% of germs and microbes.

“Today, more than ever, dealers and their customers are interested in the added peace-of-mind of vehicle sanitizing products,” NAE/NWAN president David Neuenschwander said. “Xzilon’s XMicrobe provides the solution they are looking for. We are excited to add Xzilon’s chemical options to our product offerings.”

Neuenschwander pointed out that Xzilon chemicals can be paired with any of NAE/NWAN’s surface protect product warranty agreements. These agreements can provide consumers with protection from weather-induced fading, UV exposure, oxidation, hard water etching, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, road de-icing agents, acid rain, insect damage, including love bugs, accidental spray paint overspray and industrial fallout.

Coverage is also provided for the vehicle’s fabric and carpet against stains and odors from harmful microbes.

“Xzilon is proud to partner NAE/NWAN,” said Mackie Hughes, president of sales and marketing at Xzilon. “Our industry-leading products and innovation, together with NAE/NWAN’s exceptional service, makes us look forward to helping all of their clients maximize their opportunities.”

The new program is available for installation at eligible auto, powersport and dealerships now.
