Our story - from Formula 1 to wheel damage
The origins of Recarfix date back to the mid-2000s. Around that time, the legendary team boss of a leading F1 team with silver cars had a problem.
The problem
The basis for our product - 2000
During a racing weekend, his meticulously prepared cars were damaged. Not by crashes – that was part of the game – but by the small things. A wheel briefly touching the gravel or a car kicking up some dirt was enough to significantly damage the paintwork. To the millions of television viewers, everything looked perfect. But up close, the car told a different story.
The problem? Repainting wasn't an option. Too much preparation and long drying times. That's why the team boss asked his Dutch paint supplier for a solution.
A perfect solution for everyday use
Developed for Formula 1, now for car users
The solution turned out to be simple and clever: a patch of pre-sprayed material, in the exact colour of the car. After each session, damage could be quickly and neatly covered with the patch. This process was quick and simple, and the damage was no longer visible.
This product, born in the demanding world of Formula 1, ultimately became Recarfix.
