What is Arnold Clark Protect?

Arnold Clark Protect is a professionally applied Supagard product for the exterior and interior of your car.

Protect works by creating an invisible barrier between your car’s paintwork, leather or fabric interior materials and their surrounding environment to minimise the risks of deterioration.

Why do I need it?

Think of it like caring for your skin.

You wouldn’t sunbathe on the beach without applying sun lotion because you’d put yourself at the risk of burning. If you went for a dip in the sea this risk would only increase due to the salt and reflection of the sun’s rays in the water.

This is exactly the same for your car.

If you don’t apply a protective layer, your car’s materials will deteriorate quicker.

Exterior

In your Arnold Clark Protect pack, you’ll receive a valeter kit that should be applied only by a professional (pictured below).

This kit includes an advanced polymer sealant that coats your paintwork to enhance shine and create a barrier, protecting your paint from oxidisation by outside factors such as acid rain, pollution and ultraviolet rays.

Protect also works as an excellent gloss enhancer.

Interior

There are two types of Protect you can buy, depending on whether you have fabric or leather seats.

The leather interior cleaner includes a brand-new chemical that protects your seats against discolouration from things like denim jeans.

The fabric cleaner is a PH-neutral soap that reduces the amount of bacteria in your car.

A resin-based formula prevents stains by sealing fabric fibres so that dirt and spills can be vacuumed or wiped off with a gentle cleaning solution.

How can I get the most out of Protect?

Once a valeter has applied the professional paint sealant, you should continue to preserve its protective properties by waxing your car and cleaning the interior every six months at least.

Doing so will keep the gloss enhancement up and reinforce the protective capabilities.

If you maintain this, you will see results from Arnold Clark Protect for three years.

Your kit contains plenty of products to keep your car clean.

Emergency kit

Your Arnold Clark Protect bundle also comes with a comprehensive emergency kit.

The kit includes a variety of items to safeguard both you and your passengers in a roadside emergency.

In the kit you’ll find:

  • First aid kit
  • 6-in-1 Multi-Torch
  • Wheel changing gloves
  • Reflective waistcoat
  • Family cagoule set
  • Kneeling mat

Where can I get Protect?

You can buy Arnold Clark Protect from any of our 200 UK branches.

If you have fabric seats, the pack will cost £275. If you have leather seats, it will cost £295.
