The operator will be using Autoglym’s suite of Professional products to maintain its vehicles nationwide

Royal Warranted automotive surface care manufacturer Autoglym has announced that it is to reinforce its partnership with Arriva UK to provide cleaning, valeting and detailing products for the operator’s 6,000-strong fleet of buses.

The extended deal covers Arriva’s complete UK operation, and will see Autoglym providing products from its ‘Professional’ range to ensure that Arriva’s vehicles leave the depot looking their best.

Thanks to the company’s years of experience in the Public Service Vehicle industry, the Autoglym Professional range has a number of well-proven solutions designed to keep buses beautiful. Arriva will be using Diamond Shine to take care of buses’ exteriors as well as Express Wash to handle the interior.

Combatting the dirt and detritus of the everyday commute is Autoglym’s Heavy Duty Traffic Film Remover (TFR). Not only is this versatile and hard-working cleaner and degreaser efficient enough for washing workshop floors, it can also be used on the engine and chassis. Powerful, yet safe and gentle on almost all commercial surfaces, this will doubtless save time in Arriva’s daily prep routine.

Finally, the dirt and grease-cutting power of the Super Strength Screenwash will also ensure that all of Arriva’s drivers have a crystal clear view ahead. In addition to these key products, Arriva will be selecting other lines from the Professional range where necessary to maintain its vehicles.

Paul Rowlands, Head of Key Accounts at Autoglym commented: “We’re all delighted to partner with such a great name as Arriva. Like us, they’re a true part of the British landscape – and a welcome sight on roads all over the UK.

“Having developed a long-term and two-way relationship with their technical team, we’re confident that the cleaning and detailing solutions that Autoglym will be supplying will keep their fleet looking pristine throughout the year, as well as maximising value and saving their teams time and effort.”
