CAR Paint protection BRISBANE

About Car Paint Protection…

So you’ve bought a new car, we all know what comes next, it’s the hard sell on their in-house world “leading, ultimate, unbeatable” protection products. But it’s not only about price, more often than not you’ll be purchasing nothing more than a glorified sealant whose lifespan is often dramatically shorter than claimed and when you go to claim the warranty, for whatever reason it isn’t covered. They are very clever because after all, what’s another $10 per week for all of that? Well…. It’s usually an extra $1500-3000 in the long run. More often than not if you jump on Google and try to research their ‘world leading’ products, you will find little to no information, you certainly won’t find hundreds of members of the public shouting their praise.

We have many vehicles come in with dealership “paint protection” and they often show defects such as:
· Swirl marks
· Scratches
· Holograms
· Waterspots
· Bird dropping etchings and more

These customers often come in within the first 3-6 months of having owned the vehicle. They have generally contacted the paint protection product’s warranty team only to be told that they aren’t covered for whatever reason.

So is car paint protection all a load of rubbish?

What is the definition of paint protection? Well we think the root of the problem lies here, technically a cheap spray wax is a form of protection. Be it only for a matter of days/weeks for a poor one, it also won’t offer any chemical resistance (dish washing soap will strip wax) and it certainly won’t help against scratches. We aren’t saying that dealerships use cheap spray wax but they certainly use cheap sealants which don’t last as long as promised and certainly aren’t even in the same league as coatings such as Tac Si02 or Modesta.

So should I get a ceramic car coating in Brisbane?

When you have a vehicle you have 2 options to keep it looking good (the 3rd option is to let it wither away and die via negligence but as you are reading this we assume you won’t do that..).

Option 1) Regular, correct maintenance.

• This is to include regularly applying a quality wax or sealant to your paintwork.
• Clay-barring your vehicle as required.
• Removing tree sap, droppings and other contamination as soon as possible to prevent etchings.
• Requiring a cut and polish (paint correction) most likely within the first few years to repair any wash scratches and other markings.

Option 2) Order QUALITY ceramic paint protection.

• You will never need to apply a wax or sealant again. Your paint will never fade/oxidise or flake.
• It is highly unlikely that you will need to clay bar your vehicle.
• You have a lot more time to remove contamination and the risk of them leaving etchings is greatly reduced by over 90%.

Your vehicle will be much more scratch resistant (note not scratch-PROOF), the coatings are much harder than factory clear coats, practically eliminating wash scratches (with correct methods) and other damage. So the bottom line is this, if you want easy maintenance and to not have to worry about what the world will do to your vehicle then absolutely it’s for you. Your vehicle won’t fall over and die if you don’t get protection, there isn’t anything wrong with the factory paint. But you will see fading/flaking/peeling/scratching if you don’t maintain that paint well.

We like to describe it as permanent suncream for your vehicle. No more UV damage (fading and flaking), as well as the other benefits of permanent gloss and easy maintenance.
