A Product Selection Record for a Multi-Vehicle Household

Vehicles in the same household can have different coating needs. One may be parked outdoors and washed frequently, while another is used occasionally or has a different finish. A shared purchase should not erase those distinctions. Use one record with a separate profile for each vehicle.

Capture the relevant differences

List known surfaces, film or repair history, usage and maintenance arrangements. Record who normally washes each vehicle and which product information is already available. Do not assume that a familiar model or colour reveals its current treatment history.

Evaluate each recommendation

Use the exact coating's intended-use guidance and identify any compatibility questions. Discuss the desired appearance and the owner's ability to follow the care routine. For example, one vehicle may need a professional installation discussion while another enquiry concerns routine maintenance of an existing treatment.

Keep the handover simple

Provide a clear product and treated-area record for each vehicle. Avoid a single unlabeled care sheet if the relevant instructions differ. Make the support route easy to find and explain what changes should trigger a review, such as film replacement or bodywork. The value of the household record is convenience with accuracy: it lets the owner organize care without pretending that all vehicles have the same surfaces, use patterns or approved treatment process.

Keep a separate decision sheet for each vehicle

Record finish types, existing protection, usage, parking and cleaning arrangements for each car. A household can use one installer and still need different product or care decisions. Do not assume that similar paint colours imply similar surface histories.

Use a shared summary for convenience, but keep the installed product and treatment date attached to the individual vehicle. For example, one car may have partial PPF while another has a repainted panel and a third is factory matte. A single family-package description should not conceal those differences. The record makes future bookings and maintenance questions easier without presenting one universal coating choice as automatically suitable for every vehicle.

Ask NANOLAB about the identified surfaces. For supporting information, review the current product documentation and the coating selection guides.
