There are many reasons you should, indeed, protect the paintwork of your vehicle. Not only does a well-maintained exterior ensure your ride looks fabulous, but it also increases the resale value.
There are different ways to protect it against the elements. The simplest method is to regularly apply car wax, through to the ultimate addition of a ceramic coating.
The following looks at each in turn and can help assist in a decision as to which might best suit your needs.
Carrying out strategic steps to help keep a vehicle’s factory paintwork in tip-top condition has many advantages. The first—and most obvious—is that it keeps your car looking fab. You spend a lot of money on purchasing and maintaining your vehicle, so it makes perfect sense that you want it to turn heads every time you pass by.
The second reason is that of car value. Well-looked after paintwork increases a car’s resale value. While saying goodbye to your wheels might be the furthest thing from your mind right now, it’s likely that you might want to sell or exchange in the future.
Car wax is the simplest way to add a layer of protection to factory paintwork. It’s also—dare we say—the most labor-intensive. After carrying out an intense car wash and dry, adding and polishing a wax product to the vehicle will make it shine and provide a small element of environmental protection.
However, waxing a car effectively is not a quick process. It takes many hours of work and, sadly, only lasts a few weeks or less. It is the cheapest method of paint protection and a popular way for car enthusiasts to spend a day, while lovingly buffing their ride to perfection.
PPF is, quite simply, a technological marvel. It involves the application of an ultra-thin, super-strong, yet flexible layer of tough, invisible material that provides a robust layer of protection. It repels water, prevents damage from stone chips, blocks UV damage, and has amazing “self-healing” properties.
High-quality, professionally applied PPF can last many years, leaving the factory paintwork below pristine. It can be used over the whole car or on areas that are more prone to damage, such as the back of the mirror, front wings, and hood.
Ceramic coating is the ultimate in paint protection. It involves adding a clear, ceramic-infused coating over the vehicle. This uses nano-technology to create an incredibly hard topcoat that protects against both physical and environmental damage. And boy, does it make the car shine!
In a similar way to PPF, a professional ceramic coating lasts for many years. It’s considered a valuable upgrade to a vehicle and can have a great positive effect on the current and future value of a car.
The application of PPF and ceramic coating should only ever be carried out by experts. Sure, there are DIY products on the market, but only those who’re trained and experienced in applying them can ensure that they don’t cause any damage to the factory paintwork you’re trying to protect.
