Have you ever wanted to work in the automotive cosmetic repair industry but couldn't afford those ridiculous franchise fees?


The Damage
The Cause
The picture above is of extreme damage caused by golf ball sized hail during a storm in South America. Unfortunately this sort of damage can not be repaired and the vehicle would be a write off.
This picture is of hail that fell in Christchurch on 23rd April 2005. As a result at least 2000 vehicles received major damage. Some cars were written off by their insurance companies. At least half of these cars were repaired by paintless dent removal technicians from the USA. Some of these men were repairing 2 cars a day at $1500-$1800 per car. The second largest insurer in New Zealand had over 700 cars repaired this way alone.
Severe hail storms are now becoming more regular due to the changes in our climate from Global warming. Because of this we can expect to see a damaging hail storm here in New Zealand at least once a year. Hail storms as heavy and large as that which struck Christchurch on Anzac weekend seem to be happening every 12-18 months in Christchurch alone. There were also hail storms in Wellington, Northland, and Southland in 2005 that damaged cars.

Up until now the only people with the required skills were from overseas. And they came here in droves from the U.S.A and parts of the U.K. These people, some of whom came into the country on false documentation stole millions of dollars worth of work off local paint and panel shops. At least 10 people from the USA had already previously entered Australia using the same methods and were caught, detained, and kicked out of Australia. Yet they still managed to fool our immigration services and arrived here without any questions being asked (Winston Peters where were you) Of course the insurance companies turned a blind eye to this because they were saving huge sums of money. They saved so much money that at least one insurer put these people up in hotels, and provided them with the use of cars free of charge.

Of course the problem will remain as long as there is a need for PDR techs skilled enough to repair hail damage. Why should overseas PDR techs get rich from our misfortune? We know of one person who made over $95.000 for 3 months work. We can't control the weather, but we can start to control the PDR industry in our own country. If there were enough people experienced in PDR and capable of repairing hail damage there would be no need for foreign help.

In an effort to solve this problem we have searched the World for the best possible trainers. And have managed to get two of the very best trainers in the USA to come here on a regular basis to train people to the required standard. These courses will run for 4-6 weeks with 3 people trained at a time, and will use "over the shoulder" training methods. This is NOT a franchise, there are no royalties or on going fees. Once you are trained you are free to do as you please, although we would like you to become part of a team of people who are available to "chase hail" both here and in Australia whenever hail strikes.

And after, repair time was 10 minutes
Every used car on the road shows signs of wear and tear on it's interior. This damage will affect the retail value of the vehicle, in some cases by a $1000 or more. Mobile upholstery repair allows these repairs to be done in the vehicle, in most cases without having to remove the damaged item. Excellent repairs can be done on any surface or material including cloth, leather, vinyl, velour and plastic. Most repairs only take 10-20 minutes and are undetectable when finished. Training takes 5 days and includes all equipment and full backup and support. Once again this is not a franchise and no royalties or ongoing fees apply. This kind of work is often best suited to females due to their ability to see colours better than males. That is not to say that males can't do the repairs, it's just a scientific fact that woman read colour better than men. Franchises in this industry sell for from $50,000-$90,000 here in New Zealand, just check out business opportunities in the newspapers or in magazines readily available at book stores.

PAINT & SURFACE PERFECTING
Right now you'll be saying "What is paint/surface perfecting" Surface perfecting is a business that up until recently was never performed in New Zealand. Now with the appointment of a distributor for Cyclo Dual Head Polishers in New Zealand click here this opportunity has become a reality. Perfecting involves the restoration of damaged or oxidised paint and metal surfaces. Using a Cyclo polisher and our specially formulated waxes, polishers, and sealants almost any painted or metal surface can be returned to it's original blemish free condition. All cars even expensive high end cars receive fine hair line scratches and swirl marks due to nylon brushes being used on the car in car washes and at home. These blemishes can really dull the appearance of a car and make the car look used. By using a Cyclo Polisher and the appropriate chemicals the cars paint can be returned to it's original "As it left the factory" finish.

The same results can be achieved on aluminum, cooper, brass, and even stainless steel. Just think of how many aluminum products could benefit from this process. There are alloy wheels on trucks and cars, there are alloy gas tanks and bull bars on trucks. There are alloy truck bodies on our roads everywhere you look. Milk tankers, petrol tankers, tip trucks, box bodied trucks. Potential customers are everywhere.

One of the biggest untapped markets has to be aircraft. All over the country there are dull aircraft simply because nobody ever dared go anywhere near an aluminum aircraft with a conventional polisher through fear of damaging or burning the surface. Not anymore, due to the unique action of the Cyclos dual heads it's almost impossible to damage any surface.
