Naturally, this had to be accomplished with products that were not only a good investment for consumers, but also a solid profit opportunity for the dealerships themselves. While performing our research, we uncovered XPEL Technologies Corp., which offered the kind of product set we were looking for. When considering XPEL's superior kit designs, best-practices installation training, and their 'on-demand' electronic product delivery system, all coupled with 3M's industry-best paint protection film, we have an incredibly strong product opportunity for our clients that is without question, second-to-none."

We are working closely with 3M Canada and the XPEL team to accelerate this product offering across Ontario and other parts of Canada. We believe our market penetration in the first year alone could easily approach 100 new car dealerships."
