Paint Correction
A paint correction is a multi-step process to remove imperfections from a vehicle’s paint surface. It includes decontamination, polishing, and a protective finish. It can consist of a light wax, sealant, or Gtechniq C2V3.
The first step of paint correction involves decontaminating the surface to be polished. Any contaminants must be removed from the surface to prevent them from scratching the clear coat during the polishing stage. For example, if the car has iron deposits, these need to be removed before the buffing can start. You can use Americana Global Release Iron and Fallout Remover for this purpose.
Next, the detailer must polish the vehicle to remove all swirl marks and scratches. It can take several hours. When the car is polished, it will look beautiful and shine intensely. However, this will deteriorate over time. The sun’s UV rays, dust, and bird droppings will cause the surface to deteriorate.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coatings offer extreme chemical resistance, meaning environmental contaminants like bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap will not damage paint as easily. These coatings also repel water and dirt, meaning your car will stay cleaner longer and require less frequent washings. For more information about the paint protection price Adelaide, click here.
These professional-grade ceramic coatings are only available through reputable detailing shops and cannot be applied independently. If improperly used, these coatings can cause significant defects, such as high spots on your vehicle’s surface.
Unlike traditional car wax, a ceramic coating lasts much longer and will save you money in the long run because you will not have to purchase and apply waxes on your vehicle continuously. These coatings can also protect your car from fading and UV damage, preserving its resale value over the years. However, ceramic coatings will not stop scratches or other exterior damage from occurring. That is why performing a multi-step paint correction before applying a ceramic coating is essential.
Paint Protection Film
Paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent polyurethane film that can be applied to the painted surfaces of your car to protect them from chips and scratches. It also helps to preserve your resale value and reduce the need for frequent touch-ups and repainting. Its durability and self-healing properties make it a popular choice for drivers looking to enhance their vehicle’s appearance and functionality.
Opticle PPF is so tough that it can even heal minor scratches and scuffs within seconds after being hit by a rock or other debris. However, it is essential to remember that this film is not invincible, and more significant impacts may damage the underlying paint.
Door Cup Protectors
Whether your vehicle is new or older, paint damage can drastically decrease its resale value. Protecting your car with a transparent protective film is an excellent way to save money on repair costs. From traditional waxes to modern urethane-based nanoceramic coatings, a variety of products will keep your car looking like new for longer.
Door cup protectors are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to protect the paint in their door handle cup area from fingernail scratches and rings. These delicate, deep lines and scuffs can build up over time and dull the paint, but they can be easily prevented with these explicit 0.2-millimetre-thick urethane films.
Door cup protectors are applied similarly to paint protection film and can be cut with a plotter to ensure uniform coverage for your entire door. They are easy to maintain and resist discolouration from coloured waxes and soaps, and they also have a self-healing technology to remove minor scratch marks.
