With the campaign, Sikkens will share information on new products and advances, like Autosurfacer UV, a brand new UV-cured filler that A&amp;AC calls \u201cthe fastest curing filler in the market\u201d and the Autoprep Pretreatment Wipes that have improved efficiency in the McLaren Paintshop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe continuous improvement of our Sikkens vehicle refinishes system is a direct result not only of our working closely with partners like Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, but also listening to the needs of local painters working with our products on a daily basis.\u201d says EMEA Marketing Manager Remco Maassen van den Brink. \u201cIt involves people from within the organization as well as our customers and highlights the essence of our success: Creating Together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sikkens, the leading vehicle refinish brand from AkzoNobel\u2019s Automotive &amp;
