BCA is covering cars with a cling wrap for long-term protection to paintwork.

The service, available at BCA Smart Prepared centres, uses a statically charged film, which surrounds the vehicle.

Ron Hope, BCA Smart Prepared European director, said the service, carried out after the smart repair, meant cars could be exposed to most weather conditions and remain in a retail condition.

“Smart Prepared customers are enjoying considerable returns at disposal time,” he said.
