Of course, it's easy in retrospect to say that we should have all shelled out for the car paint protection treatments before leaving the dealership. For most of us, however, buying a new car is the second most expensive purchase we will ever make after our house, so it's a bit of an insult when the dealer expects a further, extortionate amount for vehicle paint protection services. There is no doubt that you want to preserve the shine and beauty of your new ride but it's ridiculous to think that you would want to spend that amount on car paint protection at the drop of a hat.
However, there are companies out there that offer the same service at a fraction of the cost, using only brand name products and recieving full support and training from the product manufacturers, and these guys really know what they're doing.
They offer a choice of three outstanding products, each one providing the optimum results in vehicle paint protection. Let's take a look at the products and what you can expect to receive from a vehicle paint protection service.
SupaGard Protection can withstand the harshest of weather conditions and still maintain a glossy and protective coating over your bodywork. The product is designed to protect the paintwork as well as the upholstery and fabric, carpets and alloy wheels and the whole process, from start to finish, includes six stages. If you decide to opt for this vehicle paint protection system you will also benefit from a 3 year warranty. This car paint protection treatment generally costs less than ?250, a lot less than the dealer was charging.
The next product used for car paint protection is Autoglym Lifeshine which is carried out in four stages. First, the car is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for treatment. Even brand new cars are exposed to sea winds and other elements during shipping, and can accumulate dust particles. If a car paint protection treatment is carried out without first thoroughly cleaning the car, inside and out, this is going to have a detrimental effect on the paintwork which could well be irreversible.
After the prep of the vehicle the bodywork is applied with a glossy, water repellent coating which will withstand harsh weather conditions and provide an easily maintainable paintwork.
The upholstery is treated with a waterproof coating which extends the fabric life and also aids easy cleaning. Don't worry if your car has leather upholstery; it works on leather too. Finally, the glass is covered with a water repellent coating for easier vision and cleaning. You will also receive a Lifeshine maintenance care kit and full instruction on how to maintain the results of the car paint protection treatment.
Last but not least is Diamondbrite, a quality glazing product that will enhance the appearance of your vehicle as well as providing it with vehicle paint protection. This process covers six stages including the application of the pre-glaze and glaze and the treatment of interior fabrics and upholstery, as well as wheel protector treatmentThe result will be a car that's easy to clean and maintain, and will look just as good three years from now as it did the day you bought it.
Different car paint protection treatments are suitable for different cars, but all have lasting results and the entire vehicle paint protection process takes just 2 ? to 3 hours, well worth the time and money for peace of mind and a vehicle that will remain in showroom condition for a long time to come.
