Rent to own Video: Scratch-B-Gone Restoration
This Rent to Own Video brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org 
Scratch-B-Gone is a soft-metal restoration kit developed by inventor Barry S. Feinman.
The product is designed to remove scratches while blending and oxidizing the newly restored metal to match the surrounding areas. Through many years of research and development the Feinman co-invented a chemical formulation that would blend and oxidize the repaired metal on the surface thereby eliminating the bright spot and the Scratch-B-Gone kit was born. Feinman recognized that scratches and blemishes on expensive stainless steel appliances, sinks, countertops and barbecues was an unresolved problem in the appliance and other industries. Until the creation the Scratch-B-Gone kit and process, consumers and professionals were told by experts that it was impossible to remove the scratches because the resulting �bright spot� was often worse than the scratch or blemish. Scratch-B-Gone was a featured vendor at the recently concluded Nationwide RentDirect PrimeTime Convention and Trade Show in Dallas this week. Watch an interview with Feinman and see an actual demonstration of Scratch-B-Gone. | |

The Year of the Tiger According to Chinese astrology, the Year of the Tiger begins in February 2010. Tiger John Cleek is making the most of it as he winds down his two-year term as APRO’s president. He reflects on personal and industry-wide accomplishments and the love of family that sustains him.
In the 30-year history of the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations, 17 rental dealers have served as president. To mark APRO’s special anniversary, 15 of these leaders share their experiences in helping to shape the rent-to-own industry.
The Keep Rate Conundrum Calculating keep rate does not seem to improve the rent-to-own business in any discernible way—and yet this calculation, beyond all the others, has had enormous legal and political implications for rent-to-own almost since its inception.
Vendor Spotlight: What's in a Name? These three departed rent-to-own vendors--Joe Eason, Tom Kitchens and Norm Smith--live on, their names indelibly linked to key industry events and honors.
