Why I Chose IGL

This past week a customer asked me a very simple question that resulted in a response that was much longer than he probably expected.


*I would like to state here that I am NOT compensated by IGL not have I been asked to provide the following testimony.


He asked; What made you choose IGL?
This was my response, it’s been slightly edited because I don’t want to call out other specific companies here.
I chose IGL for several reasons. There are many great coating and detailing products available but....
IGL offers the following benefits for me compared to other brands:

1. A full, environmentally safe product line- the coatings use low & no VOC carrier solvents which means I don’t need to wear a respirator. From car wash soap to vinyl dressing to ceramic coatings, I have an IGL solution.
2. IGL is committed to product development- they make their own products. Everything from the coatings to cleaning products are designed to work together.
3. IGL coatings are much easier to work with than other brands. The cure time between coats is 2 hours instead of 6-8. This is a function of the carrier solvents used.
4. IGL does not require me to “buy in” to the territory. My certification is based on my performance, abilities and how I do business. This is important to me. Anyone can write a check, that doesn’t make them qualified.

For my customers, my use of IGL products provides them with:

1. The ceramic coatings simply perform. They don’t need annual reapplication, they don’t require any special wizardry to maintain them. I’m selling costings on the basis that they make life easier. I need that to be true and IGL products deliver.
2. The other products (cleaners, dressings etc)are all plant derived. This means they work great, are very safe and honestly they smell fantastic. IGL Dash is heaven in a bottle!
3. Low and no VOCs. My clients are not being exposed to harmful vapors as they drive away in their shiny cars.

It may seem like I’m limiting myself by aligning so strongly with one manufacturer. I do use some other products from other manufacturers (I love me some P&S beadmaker) but the core of what I do is serviced well by sticking with IGL at every opportunity.
