That is due to all the testing , validation , approvals , and accreditation the Tough- Guard coating products have received over the past 30-plus years .
The performance of the product is proven in aviation . ToughGuard customers recognize it and appreciate the value the ToughGuard coating products provide them . Force concluded , “ I know their product , for Dassault as a corporation , has been huge . The maintenance side and service side are ( about ) customer retention . One of my big sells to Dassault was , “ Here ’ s a product we put on the aircraft , with a two-year warranty – they have to come back within two years to re-apply .” He said it proves good customer service and good maintenance service , when the business can call back owners and operators and prove that the aircraft is virtually unchanged after two years .
Force and Du Plooy declared that most aircraft could go longer between Tough- Guard maintenance visits , because the product is so effective !
