SEE WHO N-XTC REPRESENTS



Bastien Raynaud from PISTA Detailing / Chemical Guys France / N-XTC France

1. Who is Bastien Raynaud?
I’m a French guy. I am 29 years old and have a detail workshop near Disneyland Paris Since 2018. I represent Chemical Guys in France and N-XTC with my team

2. Why did you start your company?
I wanted to change my life. I was working for a big company and everything’s going fine but I miss something and I needed a challenge. Cars and detailing are my passion. I was young (I’m still young ahaha) so I take my chance and built my company in car industry with success until now to do what I want.

3. How do you see professional detailing?
This is big question. The Detailing industry is in expansion in France with a lot of new players. It’s difficult to find a place in the middle of everybody but like everywhere. If you make a good job, you can progress and grow.

4. Why do you enjoy working with N-XTC Quartz?
Simply because it’s the best product in the market at this time. I’m a detailing trainer in the biggest French Detailing training Center so I can test a lot of product, a lot of ceramic coating and for the moment. N-XTC is the best. The self-healing is a massive asset for us. It helps us to find new customers everyday and the N-XTC One represent a very smart development.

5. How do you see the future?
Still in place with a bigger workshop simply. Obviously, I hope to run a huge N-XTC Network.

Bart Philippens from Custom Car Cleaning

1. Who is Bart Philippens?
From my personality someone who actually always likes to keep everything neat, tidy and clear. After all, it is better in fresh shoes, a room that is tidy gives more peace and a car that is perfectly sparkling in the sun is much more fun to get off and enjoy a drive than one where your mood is ruined by a dull appearance, cleaning circles in the sun or a filthy interior.

2. Why did you start your company?
Some people are born entrepreneurs and know exactly how they want to build a company from the ground up, but actually I literally entered entrepreneurship from a hobby that got out of hand. When the driver's license and the first car came into possession in 1999, perhaps more wax was applied than petrol was put in the tank. One thing led to another and more and more was bought, tried, compared and if something could and existed better, then it had to go along and then those techniques had to be mastered. One thing led to another and after 8 - 9 years of "hobby", training, experiences at home and abroad and cars of acquaintances, friends, neighbors of neighbors, etc. Custom Car Cleaning was created in January 2008. And although this has also become better, bigger, more beautiful and more professional over the years, the work itself fortunately still feels like a hobby.

3. How do you see professional detailing?
As a positive and as a negative thing. It is great that this relatively new branch of sport has emerged to enormously upgrade the quality compared to the conventional well-known cleaning work and to actually offer people something that seriously benefits both the car and the owner. It really adds value both economically and emotionally. After all, that should also be the guideline of the service. The negative is that, but that is with any kind of craft by the way, the threshold is quite low to start a business. After all, you can get started with a nice website and limited investment. But it takes so much more knowledge, experience and technology to be able to carry out this work professionally and that is where things often go wrong in practice.

4. Why do you enjoy working with N-XTC Quartz?
I personally like the transparency and the honest story. No cowboy stories and exaggerated marketing to customers who promise the impossible, but a really good product with the right support, service and substantiation. Also that there is a selective look at the installers in order to continue to fully guarantee the quality.

From the product itself for the properties in terms of gloss, reflection, durability and effective layer that is formed on the paint. It actually delivers what it promises and has proven itself here in the workshop several times over the years

5: How do you see the future?
It is always difficult to predict which turns things take that you have no control over. From our own perspective and for Custom Car Cleaning, we continue to continue on a trusted footing. Never had the intention to become the largest in size and I still think it is important to be in control myself. Over the years, a solid network has been built up with the same passionate 'professionals' who support us with ancillary activities to perform in our workshop and thus make our service (s) even more complete. after this has been detailed with us or the removal of any parking dents before our activities actually start.After a long search, we have, in fact, recently found a reliable partner who will install and take care of our XPEL "paint protection films". not much will change, but we never sit still in terms of options and services and that will only continue to grow in the coming years.



Patrick Keybeck from PK Automotive Detailing

1. Who is Patrick Keybeck?
Hello, I am Patrick I am the owner of Pk automotive in Maasmechelen and importer of N-XTC coatings in Belgium.

2. Why did you start your company?
I founded my company about 3 years ago because I always had a strong (correct word?) Passion for all detailing related matters, having graduated as a bodybuilder, the bridge between quite small and a nice addition.

3. How do you see professional detailing?
I set the bar extremely high in professional detailing, quality certainly comes above quantity, each car is unique and has its own story. In this way, after an extensive intake conversation with the customer, it can be carefully determined which work must be carried out in order to achieve an excellent result. After a good result has been achieved, it is at least as important to to maintain this result as long as possible by means of paint protection. 

4. Why do you enjoy working with N-XTC Quartz?
In my own company I have searched a lot and a long time for a good manufacturer of paint protection, so I ended up at n-xtc. After 2 years of intensive use of this coating line and receiving a lot of positive feedback from my clientele, n-ecstasy has become an indispensable pawn for me in running my business, quality over quantity!

5: How do you see the future?
For the future of the car industry I see an increasing demand for paint protection, car manufacturers have to comply with increasingly strict environmental laws and standards, this does not benefit the end quality and durability of these cars, so as the years go on As I progress, I see paint protection becoming an increasingly important "must". Of course we at n-xtc do not stand still and we continue to innovate in order to always be able to meet the high requirements that are demanded and desired by our 50+ installers.
