About Color-Glo

Look around you! Every direction you look you are seeing a potential customer for Color Glo products and services. With fabric covering virtually everything we use in our daily lives and being subjected to the wear and tear of this daily use it is no wonder Color Glo is in such great demand. Our business focuses on the automotive industry and we work with vehicles manufactured by companies such as General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Chrysler, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Toyota, Honda and others all of whom recognize and appreciate the tremendous cost savings we offer them with their new car warranty repairs. We are also in a unique position to offer an incredible value to the used car dealers. Our service is portable so while we make their vehicles more presentable that vehicle does not need to ever leave the lot. Whether it is a minor tear or burn or an extensive color restoration we are able to successfully repair and restore any of the vehicles components, regardless of whether it is leather, vinyl, fabric, velour, plastic or composites. Our proprietary Color Glo products are exclusive, fully tested and backed by an International company. This insures the customer's complete satisfaction now and into the future. In addition to our success in the automotive industry we are also experiencing a tremendous amount of recognition and growth in leather furniture, both commercial and residential. Private aircraft owners appreciate our products as well as boat owners and manufacturers because Color Glo uses environmentally safe water-based products that have passed certain vertical burn testing requirements under FAR 25.853 (a) Appendix F part (a) (l) (ii) AMD-25-72 Federal Aviation Regulations and were shown not to add flammability to aircraft leather upholstery. They all appreciate the excellent wear ability and UV resistance we provide for their expensive interiors. Color Glo works directly with warranty companies as well as insurance companies and we offer their customers an alternative to the high cost of replacement.
