In this quick product spotlight, Mike, LKQ’s Private Label Product Manager, introduces Production Clear (FMB 4242) from Finish Master by LKQ.

Ideal for 1–2 panel jobs where cycle time is critical, Production Clear helps technicians balance speed and quality on every job. As always, check your local VOC regulations to confirm this product is the right fit for your market.
