PRODUCT NEWS
PraCtICaL HELPErSThese three new empty Carsystem canisters, available in 0.5-l, 1.0-l, and 1.8-l size, are ideal for storing paint (solvent-based and water-based paints). The lid locks securely in place, allowing the paint to be stored for extended periods without drying out.
These new system kits are designed for storing Carsystem products. Each system kit contains exactly what’s needed for the work to be done, providing handy access to all Carsystem products just where they’re needed at any station in the workshop.The products are neatly organized in the kit by article number, and repla-cements can be ordered individually.The system kits are stacka-ble and can be inter- connected.
With its wide range of applications, Finishline Plus is the ideal abrasive for ultra-fine sanding applications.This net-backed abrasive achieves an extremely even sanding surface in just about any application.Can be used both dry and wet. The net system prevents the abrasive from clogging, thus im- parting a perfect surface finish and enabling a long shelf life.
FInISHLInE PLuS
A foam-laminated abrasive to achieve a smooth final sanding; for matt-finishing or filler-sanding, also for sanding down old paint finishes and new parts. The Greenline Grip Foam product rounds out our popular Greenline range of abrasives with a new 15-hole sander that is foam-laminated from the back. This new sanding paper can be ordered in grit sizes P 400 to P 800. Basically identical to our popular Greenline 15-hole sanders, this san-der has the additional feature of a layer of foam applied from the back.The foam produces a finer surface in the final sanding, while at the same time decreasing the risk of sanding through on edges, swage lines, and curves.

The 75th new product from the CARSYSTEM brand over the last 3 years just had to be something special. And to mark the occasion, we are introducing our new 2K CLEAR VOC PREMIUM. Over the past few years, we have sharpened our focus on innovation and quality in CARSYSTEM products, as demonstrated yet again with our 2K CLEAR VOC PREMIUM. This clear coat product advances us to the next level, right into the premium segment for vehicle refinishing products. We’ve delivered a top-of-the-line product that’s easy to apply – and we‘re sure it’ll win you over, too!The new 2K CLEAR VOC PREMIUM combines all the positive aspects of a clear coat – a brilliant, deep gloss; fast, thorough drying; and ease of polishing – and offers a high-quality finish that is second-to-none in the vehicle repair industry.A clear coat for all applications – you’ll be amazed at how fast your routine repair work will go.

75th new Product – Clear Coat/Filler:
New green line of putty from CARSYSTEMAren’t 120 putty formulas enough? Our answer – TecLine Green, in 3 new grades: MULTI GLAS GREEN, MULTI GREEN, and ELASTIC GREEN. When we were developing this product, our specifications included the
following three requirements: lower volatile organic compound (VOC) content, lower specific gravity, adherence to a variety of substrates. And that‘s precisely what we achieved, with an outstanding application characteristics.Much of our effort focused on the subsequent steps in the workflow.
Consequently, the product is quickly drying, provides an extremely smooth finish, and exhibits unparalleled sanding properties, all of which results in up to 25% less waiting time. Modern, lightweight body materials offer a wide range of applications for this product.
INNOVATION!The Future is GREEN!

arE YOu StILL MIxIngOr aLrEadY FILLIng???That’s the slogan we used to present the Speedmixer to our Carsystem partners from around the
globe and to the general public at automechanika 2008. Some 300 Speedmixers have been sold
on the market to date, and the machine is now available in its third stage of expansion.
Many shops have already recognized the Speedmixer’s unique advantages. And the new series,
featuring 300 next-generation models that embody our customers‘ suggestions for improvement,
is nearly out of stock already, just shortly after its introduction. For perfectly mixed putty com-
pounds and optimal results, there is no alternative on the market.
So it‘s back to automechanika – 2010 this time – where this small-to-medium-capacity model will
be presented: the Speedmixer for 3 kg cartridges. Now, even shops with lower putty turnover will
also be able to take advantage of the savings potential offered by this revolutionary technology.
Our Dry Coat inspection powder easily reveals the tiniest irregularities and flaws.Just blacken the surface to be sanded by rubbing the Dry Coat over it. Flaws will now be revealed more quickly and easily during the sanding process. This prevents costly touch-up work. Dry Coat contains no VOCs and is available in black and orange, for visual inspection of the sanding surface.

For some time now, we have been in need of new space for our steadily growing national and international activities. And after 8 months of construction, the moment finally arrived: Employees were able to move into their new, bright working quarters in the new wing addition at Vosschemie headquarters. Now, “short travel times” are a reality for all the divisions. In addition to a new office space, the new wing also includes modern presentation rooms and meeting rooms.

In the SpotlightMarco Massaro......our man behind the scenes.That‘s actually a complete understatement to describe this Director of National/International Inside Sales. Poised at the interface between customers and order logistics, Mr Massaro is our point man for sales and customer service. With his skilled team, Marco Massaro ensures that every customer is treated with professionalism and always receives the same high quality.As Massaro himself puts it: “Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal. In addition to high-quality products, a system supplier must also have a commensurate customer care system in place. We want to earn our customers’ satisfaction by offering them the whole package.To make the impossible possible through our commitment to the customer. These are important building blocks for pursuing and ensuring the expansion and continued high standards of the CARSYSTEM brand.”
Again this year, the product training sessions held at our
training center in Stettin have enjoyed immense popularity.
Our team of trainers is always ready to take on the challenges
presented by new participants. This year saw a shift in the
training focus – away from the complete Carsystem product range
and toward practical application, of the new Carsystem products
in particular. New materials in car body construction and innova-
tive car repair products require broad technical expertise. Hence, for example, our
VOC-compliant fillers and clear coats are an essential part of the training courses.
And the new 2K spray cans for spot repair never fail to impress course participants.
This state-of-the-art aerosol technology produces sensational results for repairing
For the past year, CARSYSTEM‘s focus on print media in their advert campaign has gained much attention. The objective of the campaign was to set a dynamic, emotional scene in which people, cars, and products could be portrayed in both image adverts and product adverts. Hence a modern, laid-back lifestyle became the leitmotif of the entire campaign. Emotions, imagination and an enjoyment of the perfect automobile are the key elements each advert uses to tell a short story revolving around cars, people, and quality products. We are convinced that this eye catching advert series will secure our market position and facilitate the work of our Sales & Marketing department. And since our adverts first appeared we have seen an increasing number of adverts with similar concepts, so we can‘t be too far off the mark.
