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.
