If you’ve ever bought a new car, then you most likely know it doesn’t stay perfect forever. All it takes is one tiny scratch to mess up the flawless paint job. Whether you just drove a brand new vehicle off the lot or got a new paint job, there are a few different ways to protect your car’s paint. Protecting your car’s paint is also usually far less expensive than the cost of a new paint job. Here’s how to protect car paint to keep it looking fresh:
- Car Wraps
- Paint Protection Film
- Ceramic Coating
Car Wraps
If you’re looking for how to protect your car’s paint, then car wraps provide excellent defense. They completely cover the vehicle, giving your car a new look while protecting the paint underneath. Because they are removable, you aren’t tied down to the same look forever, either. As car wraps provide full coverage, they help the vehicle maintain its value by keeping the paint in perfect condition. When comparing car wraps to paint jobs, they’re also less expensive and have a faster turnaround time. Why not prevent having to get a costly paint job later by installing an attractive car wrap that can give your vehicle a unique look? If you like the existing color of your car, a clear paint protection film (PPF) will do the trick.
Paint Protection Film
If you’re looking for a way to protect your car’s paint that’s invisible, 3M Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear bra designed to safeguard your vehicle against the elements. It also protects against the gravel, dirt, rocks, salt, or other harsh chemicals that your car comes into contact with on the road. Not only does it keep your car’s paint looking like the day you bought it, but it’s also backed by a 10-year warranty. In addition, because it’s custom-designed for your vehicle, you can rest assured that the fit will be perfect.
For a different style, 3M Paint Protection Film also comes in a satin matte finish that can match most factory matte shades. With this film, you can transform your car’s shiny finish into a sleek matte one for a unique look. Our expert PPF installers can apply the clear or matte film to certain areas of your car or the entire vehicle for complete coverage and full protection.
Ceramic Coating
For enhanced coverage, we can apply 3M Ceramic Coating to your car’s paint, vinyl wrap, or PPF. With three different levels of treatment options, you can select the one that best fits your needs:
- Basic
- Deluxe
- Premier
Basic
This is the most cost-effective option that consists of a single application of 3M™ Ceramic Boost Spray, lasting as long as six months. It makes water shed easily off the vehicle and gives the paint a nice, smooth feel. Even just a single application of treatment will make performing maintenance less of a hassle.
Deluxe
The next step up is the Deluxe package, which includes one full layer of 3M™ Ceramic Coating. It lasts longer than the basic treatment, offering up to three years of protection for your vehicle. The layer of treatment will make the paint smooth to enhance water beading and simplify cleaning.
Premier
The Premier treatment offers the most protection, with two full layers of 3M™ Ceramic Coating that lasts up to five years. With a double layer of ceramic coating, it provides extra protection against tree sap, bird droppings, or bugs. With superior water beading, moisture will shed right off the smooth paint.
