HISTORY OF Color Glo International

Since its beginning in 1975, Color Glo has become the recognized leader in the mobile automotive reconditioning industry. Founded by Everett C. Smith to address the growing demands of an industry that was growing each year, Color Glo has from the very beginning, been the benchmark of this industry. Having been involved in the reconditioning industry for years, Mr. Smith knew that the existing products were not of the quality he would need to build a strong and successful brand. Although it was very costly and challenging, he decided that for his company, the only direction that would satisfy his pursuit of perfection and quality was to formulate his own line of exclusive and proprietary products.

Research & Deveolopment

Color Glo opened their own research and development labs to formulate the best products in this industry. We hired chemists that had strong backgrounds in new product formulation and research. And over a period of several years our team developed the original Color Glo proprietary line of restoration and repair products.
