Advanced technology has revolutionized vehicle safety, systems, and entertainment. With 360Shield Ceramic Coating, vehicle exteriors now reach this elevated level, benefiting from maximum protection thanks to the latest in nano-ceramic technology.

Ceramic coating paint protection products provide superior, long-lasting surfacing that forms a permanent bond. Our 360Shield Ceramic Coating contains a unique molecular coupling agent that chemically bonds to the clear coat surface. Fusing at the molecular level, it creates a hydrophobic coating delivering an amazing gloss and ultimate protection to all automotive exterior surfaces against contaminants and common environmental damages.

Benefits include:

  • Automotive Body Protection
  • Glass Protection
  • Chrome Protection
  • Plastic Molding Protection
  • Rubber Trim Protection
  • Hydrophobic Finish
  • UV Blocker
  • Super Shine Enhancement
  • Exceptional Durability

360Shield Ceramic Coating provides protection to surfaces left unprotected by traditional paint sealants. Extremely durable and water-resistant, ceramic coating creates a barrier that scares off water droplets (the “hydrophobic” effect), causing them to bead up and roll off the vehicle rather than sticking to surfaces.

This professional coating delivers an amazing gloss and provides maximum protection against:

  • UV Rays
  • Acid Rain
  • Bird Droppings
  • Industrial Fallout
  • Bugs
  • Grime
  • Tree Sap
  • Other Surface Contaminants

A professionally applied ceramic coating bonds with paint and will not wash away. The sleek, high-gloss finish prevents dust buildup, repels water, and easily wipes clean. Extremely durable, ceramic coating can last several years, comparing favorably to paint sealant that may last only a matter of months.

February 18, 2021 (RINGWOOD, NJ) — Dealer Owned Warranty Company (DOWC®), a leading provider and administrator of F&I products and services, is proud to introduce a high-value identity protection product that uses innovative technology to offer multiple layers of protection, including best-in-class fraud prevention and remediation services.

ID Theft Protection coverage offers a comprehensive suite of high-value protective services and benefits, including dark web and financial monitoring and stolen funds reimbursement to restore customers’ confidence and safety. Paired with 24/7 customer service and thorough coverage, these benefits make ID Theft Protection an outstanding value solution for the protection of your sensitive and vulnerable digital lives.

Each of us unknowingly risks exposure of our personal information online daily. As DOWC Founder & CEO Michael LaMotta explains, “Every minute we work, shop, and socialize online, we run the risk of identity theft or fraud that is often so sophisticated we are not even aware it has happened.” With an average use of four hours spent on the internet each day, those risks are substantial for users of all ages who access the web through cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other smart devices.

“Our goal in creating this ID Theft Protection product,” LaMotta explains, “is to provide affordable access to protection for anyone who seeks peace of mind through robust protection and real, tangible remedy should identity theft or fraud occur.” That recourse includes a unique suite of protective services and benefits that include fully managed restoration, stolen funds reimbursement, single credit bureau monitoring, and careful surveillance of hard-to-find “dark” websites and forums where information is traded and sold by identity thieves.

Provided by DOWC, one of the nation’s leading providers and administrators of F&I products and services, ID Theft Protection expands the opportunity for dealerships to offer protection services to their valued customers, separately or in addition to their vehicle protection needs. As identity theft and identity fraud threats continue to rise, and the costs of cybercrime skyrocket annually, this is a timely and high-value product addition to DOWC’s expansive service contract and financial protection offerings.

RINGWOOD, N.J. – 

For the second time this month, Dealer Owned Warranty Co. (DOWC) enhanced its menu of F&I products.

Coming on the heels of introducing NitroShield, a complete tire and wheel protection product, DOWC on Friday rolled out new 360Shield protection solutions enhanced with new antimicrobial products, providing improved vehicle protection.

The company highlighted the 360Shield antimicrobial protection treatment includes interior cleaning and protection processes for interior surfaces like the dashboard and seats, using an antimicrobial solution formulated to disinfect and prevent against mold, mildew, bacteria, and other microbes like the COVID-19 virus.

Additionally, DOWC emphasized that the 360Shield disinfecting air quality and odor treatment is designed to work in a vehicle’s hard-to-reach areas, like the climate control system, using a specialized thermal fogger. Suitable for use on both porous and non-porous surfaces, the 360Shield air treatment is available in mint-scented or fragrance-free solutions.

Both 360Shield treatments are formulated to kill surface germs, as well as inhibit the future growth of bacteria and microbes, according to DOWC.

“We are very excited about what our two new additions to 360Shield will provide to the auto industry, as restrictions are lifted and dealerships reopen,” DOWC founder Michael LaMotta said in a news release. “Improved safety at dealerships means improved safety for dealers, car shoppers, and ultimately, vehicle owners everywhere.”

DOWC emphasized 360Shield solutions have been enhanced to meet the highest industry standards for sterilization and provide long-lasting, quality protection. Providing antimicrobial protection, the company said both the 360Shield antimicrobial protection treatment and 360Shield disinfecting air quality and odor treatment can preserve the quality and safety of the vehicle’s interior for the warranty period.

The full suite of 360Shield protective products, which also includes PaintShield, WheelShield, GlassShield, InteriorShield, and BodyShield, is available to DOWC partner dealers and their customers.

All 360Shield treatments are backed by warranties that provide for the repair, repainting, or replacement of any covered parts.
