Car paint protection helps your vehicle last longer and increase its resale value, giving it a deep shine while decreasing minor scratches and chemicals from showing through. Which protection type you require depends on where you park it and the length of its commute.
303 Spray Wax
303 Spray Wax is a fast and effective paint protection Adelaide to keep your car looking its best. It uses a special formula to form a protective hard shell on paintwork surfaces that makes it more difficult for grime, dust, bird droppings and tar to stick firmly to them, while providing UV ray protection as well. Simply apply to clean surfaces in a crosshatched pattern then buff with a microfiber towel when dry.
Spray waxes come in both natural carnauba and synthetic polymers forms; you have the choice between applying either as paste or liquid; liquid is easier to apply than pastes while natural options offer greater protection – perfect if you want a protective barrier that lasts months!
This product is ideal for show car owners looking to maintain a glossy lustre between events. Formulated using SiO2 technology, its tough layer of protection repels dirt and water, leaving your car looking brand new! Additionally, UV protection helps prevent paint fade. Ideal for all exterior surfaces including glass and wheels; easily applied via 16-ounce bottle with trigger sprayer!
C2 Liquid Crystal
Gtechniq C2v3 Liquid Crystal is an 8-month spray-on and wipe-off car paint protection product made of 3S Smart Surface Science that protects against UV light exposure and environmental contamination. When applied correctly, unlike many spray-on, wipe-off coatings it does not smear when used correctly; simply apply thin coats over clean, polished surfaces and buff with a microfibre towel after each panel application process is completed.
This ultra-shiny ceramic coating can be applied over any surface such as paint, glass, chrome and plastic trim. With non-yellowing and dirt repellent properties that make it the ideal and effective paint protection Adelaide for cars, boats and planes. Furthermore, its light surface imperfections-hiding capabilities enable layering to conceal minor swirl marks or marring on soft lacquers; and as an excellent drying aid diluting with water before spraying directly onto vehicle while being dried is also impressive.
Like its sister C1 Crystal Lacquer, SI14 uses monomolecular silicium technology. It bonds securely to modern automotive paints as well as some gel coats, enamel metallic and vitreous surfaces – making application both simple and precise. You can apply it by hand or machine; its intense gloss and tight water beading recall the lotus plant’s ability to effortlessly shed rainwater without staining its petals; plus its hydrophobic surface resists airborne contamination, keeping vehicles cleaner between washes!
3M Paint Protection Film
3M Paint Protection Film is one of the best car protection products that will shield your car from nicks, chips and scratches. This transparent urethane film was specifically created to preserve automotive finishes and can be applied directly onto high impact areas of a vehicle such as its hood, fenders, bumper and rocker panels for extra protection from sun-induced fade and yellowing. Furthermore, blocking UV rays helps stop your paint fading or yellowing over time preventing staining, yellowing and yellowing over time.
This invisible protective film has a self-healing property to quickly repair small scratches on its own, protecting against road debris, gravel, oil spills, bug acids and bird droppings as well as environmental elements such as bug acids. Ideal for new vehicles purchased from dealerships – installation can even occur prior to taking it home!
3M offers several effective paint protection Adelaide, with their most popular one being Scotchgard PPF Pro Series being their most widely utilised solution. Available both clear and matte options, it boasts superior scratch resistance, clarity and self-healing properties for interior trim that easily scratches, engine bay areas where wires or hoses might rub against paintwork or roof rack areas where items might rub against surfaces such as rubber mats – or roof rack areas to help prevent items being placed up there from leaving marks behind.
3M’s paint protection film is an effective product, yet does not match up to XPEL or LLumar in terms of hydrophobicity or warranty period (10 for XPEL and 7 for LLumar). That being said, they still do an outstanding job at protecting against scratches, chemical stains and UV damage, keeping your car looking brand new longer!
Carnauba Car Wax
Carnauba car wax provides your vehicle with an effective barrier of protection, from harmful UV rays and swirl marks/light scratches to giving a beautiful showroom shine that synthetic products simply can’t match.
Car waxes can typically be applied by hand, though spray versions are also available if you prefer quick solutions. They usually come in the form of tin cans or plastic jars and some varieties come pre-softened for easier application; DIY enthusiasts, however, may prefer traditional paste waxes which don’t need pre-softening before spreading across their vehicle’s surface.
Carnauba wax effectiveness depends on several variables, including its duration, frequency of washing and type of car you own. You can extend its longevity by regularly washing and drying off your vehicle before applying reapplication every six months.
Carnauba wax should last up to six months in optimal conditions, although wear-and-tear conditions and frequent usage will accelerate its degradation faster. To extend its longevity and ensure it remains in tact for as long as possible, apply thin layers and reapply often, using quality wax remover when it comes time to take it off.
