Our Staff

 
Tomo Kashino / Managing Director

Tomo Kashino I once paid about $1,500 + 33% LCT for a vehicle protection package at a new car dealer, but the paint protection lasted a couple of months even though it had a “5 year warranty”. I found that there are so many people that have doubts about  “paint protection”. I also found there are many car wash service providers washing cars without using water or with sandy sponges, car detailers dressing cars with the slippery silicone dressings, cut & buffers removing scratches but making buff marks at the same time and paint protection suppliers applying paint protection without proper preparation. So who ruins the reputation of this industry…? I guess it is ourselves, people working in this industry.

We, Ark Barrier are proud of our products and professional services and try hard to recover the credibility of this industry. We have already applied glass coating on over 1,000,000 cars in Japan and wish for Australian people to be released from the time and money consuming “vehicle exterior & interior care”.

Remember our catchphrase “Never wax & polish your car again”. Our glass coating has self cleaning functions but yet not enough to say “Never wash your car again”. Please support us in order to develop a glass coating of the next generation such as that. Let’s create easier life together!!!

After deep cut (with a single action polisher, a long wool hair pad and Ark Barrier GC & GA compound) and medium deep cut (with a single action polisher, an urethane pad and Ark Barrier GA compound) and low cut (with a gear action polisher, a low repulsion pad and Ark Barrier GX compound) and polished (with a random orbital sander, an urethane pad and Ark Barrier GX and G compound). Even deep scratches made by the 1200 grid have removed and it has become mirror like shine.
