Why do you need a Car Paint Protection?
Paint manufacturers do their best. Their products exist to make a car look good, to customize it so that it suits the owner’s personality or the effect they are trying to achieve, be that sporty, carefree, or serious. And paint technology has come a long way. You don’t see vehicle paint peeling off like on the woodwork of an old house.
But paint is not the first line of defense – it’s the last. It needs to be protected itself. If you have ever wondered how metallic paint gets its glittery effect or how (and indeed why) they get so much green into a paint that it looks like electrified pea soup, and yet the color doesn’t seep out, well, keep wondering. Paint is one of the mysteries of everyday life.
What is not mysterious is car paint protection. You put a clear coating on top of it. It’s that simple. But that top coat has to be hard. It has to take the brunt of all the debris in the air and bouncing up off the road.
If you have ever been in a place that was recently hit by a hurricane, you will have noticed that what’s weird is that damage to vehicles has been caused from above, whereas normal damage comes from the sides and the bottom. Now imagine all that smaller flying debris in everyday air: all the sand, grit, wood, specks of plastic, bird droppings, and who knows what else that is airborne. This stuff may not be making visible dents in your panels, but it is hitting them just the same, and the protective paint coating is taking a hammering every time your car is outside and moving. Even the process of car washing and polishing takes its toll on the top layer: friction is caused by one surface rubbing against another, and something’s got to give.
Even indoors, in a garage, there is going to be dust landing on it, and while that may not cause damage, as soon as you touch it, wipe it, or attempt to remove it, that is when damage happens.
That is why paint protection for cars is a very real requirement.
There are many products on the market, some of which can be bought in a hardware store or even a grocery store, so you can do this yourself. Apply some wax. Spend Sunday morning doing it. Feel good about yourself. But how long is that going to last? Not as long as a professionally applied ceramic coating or sealant. These treatments are in another league and if you want to do your paintwork – and ultimately yourself – a favor, you need to graduate to professional auto detailing treatments.
