Cleaning products that Reflect well on your fleet
31 May 2016
Reflect Auto-Care employs five staff at its Dublin outlet. More and more vehicle and fleet owners are turning to Reflect Auto-Care for their cleaning and valeting supplies. In business for just three years, the Dublin-based company has earned a reputation for better price, quality and service. The appearance of your vehicle says a lot about you and your company. A vehicle that is immaculately turned out gives a good impression and will almost certainly earn more business for your company than the one that s caked in mud or dirt. Why have your name, image, phone number or slogan emblazoned across your vehicle when your customer can t see them?
At Reflect Auto-Care, they take the same pride in their cleaning and valeting products as the successful fleet owners do in keeping their vehicles looking spotless. The company was born out of owner Gary Meaney s passion for vehicle cleanliness. With the support of his wife Lorraine, he set up Reflect Auto-Care in January 2012 and has seen it grow into Ireland s leading specialist in automotive cleaning supplies. Since relocating from Swords to the Millennium Business Park in Ballycoolin last September, Reflect s turnover had quadrupled!
It has been a great move for us, Gary enthuses.
We re beside the likes of Hendrick European, PD Flaherty Logistics and Kilsaran Concrete, so we ve been able to avail of a large passing trade. While the majority of our customers are involved in haulage, we also supply products to valeting companies, bus companies, car hire, car sales companies and private vehicle and motorcycle owners.
Our goal is to ensure our customers are fully satisfied with our products, price and service. Our products go through vigorous quality control and testing to ensure that we are only selling the best top-quality valeting products to you. Our products are used by hundreds of people every day, and our customer-base is constantly growing. Gary continues: I ve probably found my ideal job because I ve always been passionate about vehicle cleanliness. When I worked as a truck driver, I used to keep my truck in mint condition.
Reflect Auto-Care employs five staff at its Dublin outlet including Gary s sister Helena as well as a dedicated team of drivers who will deliver to you anywhere within Ireland. Covering the Waterford/Wexford/Wicklow area is Paul Rhodes. Brian Mongey is Reflect s representative in Cork/Kerry/Limerick, David Howard looks after Dublin customers, while Jason Tuthill and Raymond Murtagh cover the Midlands and Longford/Cavan respectively. The company is currently on the lookout for an agent to cover the Connacht region. In addition, ILTA award-winning Nightline Couriers will deliver within 24 hours of you placing your order. Reflect Auto-Care boasts an impressive client list, with Texaco Service Stations, Annesley Williams and Kenilworth Motors being just three of their Dublin-based customers.
A huge range of cleaning products, accessories and equipment from the leading manufacturers are available to buy from Reflect Auto-Care, which is an agent for Vikan Brushes, Nilfisk Power Washers, Polish and Wax, White Diamond Metal Polish, Poppy Air Freshener, Bodyguards Gloves and Image Chemical Products. Reflect has become the main distributor for Image Chemical Products in Ireland in the past year. Everything from alloy wheel cleaner, nitrite gloves, tar and glue remover to brushes, cloths, handles, sponges and wipers are in stock. So what products are proving the most popular with truckers?
Gary replies: Super Strength TFR is a huge seller for us. This product is ideal for cleaning all vehicle exteriors, alloy wheels, engine bays and is also an excellent degreaser.
Tyre Reflect Ali-Clean Plus is an excellent cleaner for alloys, diesel tanks on trucks and bulk tippers with aluminium bodies. Another big seller is Formula 7 Acid which is a great product for removing concrete from concrete bottle lorries.
At the start of the year, we introduced our Wagon Wheel deal and this has proven to be a massive hit with truck owners. For only ‘ 85, including VAT and delivery, you get a huge selection of cleaning products to keep your wagons gleaming.
One of our customers, BM Transport from Newbliss in Co. Monaghan, has been very impressed with our range of products and the value-for-money we offer. They tell us that they ve made huge savings since we entered the market. Our prices are so competitive that we re even getting enquiries from the UK. Reflect Auto-Care was recently announced as one of the main sponsors for the 2016 Full of the Pipe Truck Show. A number of the prize winners at this year s Show in Cavan used our products, so we thought it would be only right if we became one of the sponsors next year, Gary explains. Products can be purchased from over the counter or online. For the best effect, use Reflect!
