Penray Introduces Glass Cleaner For Vehicles

New Penray Plus Glass Cleaner cuts road grime, leaves streak-free finish, company says.

WHEELING, Ill. – The Penray Companies Inc. has introduced Penray Plus professional-grade glass cleaner that is designed specifically for vehicle windows. Most glass cleaning products on the market are ammonia-based, and are designed either for household use or as multi-purpose cleaners, the company says. But this new ammonia-free product from Penray is designed specifically for use on vehicle windows, where cleaning needs differ greatly from those in household windows.

Vehicle windows in general, and windshields in particular, accumulate debris that’s not common to household windows. Bugs, tar, road film, car wash residue, evaporated haze from vinyls used in dash boards and upholstery, tree sap – all of these substances collect on vehicle windows, and all tend to be resistant to general-purpose cleaners.

It took the ingenuity of an automotive chemical company to develop a formula designed specifically to remove all of these materials. And Penray is just the company to do it. With a 59-year history of producing made-in-the-USA service chemicals and functional fluids, Penray is now introducing a glass cleaner that is expected to become the product of choice for professional detailers and DIYers alike.

Penray Plus Glass Cleaner features an ammonia-free formulation that will cut through and remove all of the substances described above, while leaving a finish free of film, streaks, and residue – all of which can cause annoying distortion for motorists. In addition, Penray Plus Glass Cleaner is safe to use on tinted windows and even, gently, on windows with defroster/defogger grids, according to the company.

Explains Sarah Cooper, product manager for Penray, “Up until now, detailing professionals and do-it-yourselfers had to rely on multi-purpose household cleaners for cleaning windows in cars, trucks, and SUVs. Typically these products have been ineffective in removing the stubborn bugs, sap, and other materials that accumulate on vehicle windshields and windows. Those ordinary cleaners often leave streaks or an annoying haze that can be disturbing, distracting, and even unsafe, especially when sun glare accentuates the distortion caused by that residue.”

Continues Cooper, “Our chemists, working right here in our U.S. labs, have devised an innovative new ammonia-free formulation that cleans windshields, along with side and rear glass, easily and without streaking or residue. It’s safe to use on tinted windows, and has a mild fragrance without the pungent odor of ammonia so common in household cleaners.”

The chemical composition of Penray Plus Glass Cleaner was produced from years of experience in the chemical business and knowledge of the consumer.  The product will be available through wholesalers and retailers this summer.

Penray’s products, all made in the USA, include a broad array of service chemicals, functional fluids, fuel treatments, cooling system products including Need-Release cooling system filters, and other service and maintenance chemicals available throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Penray products are distributed through automotive, heavy-duty, and industrial markets, as well as to international and private label customers.

Customer Service: How It’s Done

Customer service should be your number one priority, and it all starts with the greeting.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
