No.8 Industries Ltd
About No.8
No.8 Industries Ltd was formed in 2008 and began developing the best range of workshop and automotive products in New Zealand. The brief for the chemists was simple - develop us a product for each application that matches the very best on the market, and exceeds it wherever possible.
By mid-2009 the No.8 range of formulas were ready, having completed extensive testing both in the lab and in a variety of workshops and industrial sectors.
No.8 Industries Ltd established a brand new production plant in Silverdale, north of Auckland, to produce the No.8 range of product and this continued, with steady growth in both New Zealand and Pacific Island markets.
In early 2012 the product lines were reviewed, and refined following feedback from private and commercial users. Following on from this, a new range of product is now under development, due for market in mid 2012, with improved appearance, new can sizes, new propellants and new valves and nozzles, to deliver an even better product. The new generation of product is being developed and produced not only for the global market, with expressions of interest currently in place from 8 countries.
About Pratley
In March 1985, Pratley Wondafix was launched. In an actual test
authenticated by Moodies International, a 13 tonne bulldozer was hoisted
into the air suspended on a Wondafix bond and Mr Pratley took a seat
beneath it.
Eighteen years later and the bulldozer was still hanging on the original
bond.

about 250 people, manufacture over 800 products, have filed over 300

No.8 Products - The Legend
Once upon a time this happened.
Two mofos were hangin' out, sippin' on some ice cold lagers, while they waited for their missus' to bring them some eggs for breakfast.
Some say they were ugly wingless angels, sent from automotive heaven to save us; some say they were boosters, chillin' out beachside after escaping from the clink; one rumour has it that they were tattooed, bearded, singlet wearing bogans, while another version says they were boy racers that wore simply the sweet cologne of burning rubber. Which version you believe is your choice, it's the legacy they left that matters.
While they steadily consumed their own weight in booze and saturated fats they talked. They talked of showing, of cruising, of drag and drift. And of course of fine honeys. For these things, as we all know, are what life really is. But something was wrong.... Was it the smells coming from these two munters? Quite possibly. But there was something else...
Throughout every part of the automotive scene one thing was missing...
While faceless overseas corporations produced products for 'the masses', the enthusiasts and the hardcore revheads were ignored. And so it was decided, right there amongst the bottletops and tomato sauce, that the needless suffering of your car would end, and it would end now.
