Quixx comes to the rescue with practical gifts for everyone

Miami, FL, July 28, 2009 – There’s no denying it’s been a tough year. Hard economic times have got us all pinching pennies and taking care of what we’ve got. According to a recent study conducted by Polk Research, Americans are choosing to keep their cars longer – an average of 5 years versus 4 years in previous studies. So why not add a little bit of shine to year’s end with a gift that helps keep cars looking like new?

QUIXX High Performance Paint Scratch Remover is a simple two-step repair system that works easily to permanently remove scratches from a car’s painted surfaces. In the first step, a patented compounded works with the paint material surrounding the scratch to permanently remove the scratch from the surface. The second step restores the finish to its original shine. QUIXX High Performance Scratch Remover was rated the #1 scratch remover by leading U.S. media outlets and is available at fine retailers nationwide for $19.95 (MSRP).

QUIXX High Performance Acrylic Scratch Remover quickly and easily removes scuffs, scrapes and scratches from acrylic glass and Plexiglas® surfaces including car headlights, dashboards, wood trim, motorcycle windshields, RV or boat windows, and other acrylic household items. QUIXX High Performance Acrylic Scratch Remover restores surfaces to a scratch-free finish, making them look like new. It is now available for $14.95 (MSRP) at fine retailers nationwide.

“Car maintenance has never been so important,” says Mark Shore, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, QUIXX Care System. “The thought of purchasing or leasing a new car at the moment is very unrealistic for most people, but simple do-it-yourself maintenance like removing scratches can help maintain the value of your car, and keep it looking newer, longer. QUIXX is the perfect scratch solution and a great gift to give anyone who drives a car.”

Both QUIXX High Performance Paint Scratch Remover and QUIXX High Performance Acrylic Scratch Remover have been critically acclaimed by press, consumers and leading consumer products organizations worldwide.

QUIXX IS ALSO GREEN
