Why your car needs paint protection

Everyday you take your car on the road exposes its surface to natural elements like UV rays, rain and bird droppings to pollutants like smoke, dirt and tar from the road, all of which can cause physical and chemical harm. Oxidation, dents, abrasions, scratches – all ways to kill the natural shine of your car.

The car’s paint is not enough to fight all these elements alone. Enter paint protection products like ceramic coating and PPF, which create a layer, almost like a second skin, on top of your car paint to protect it from all the natural and industrial aggressors that attack paint. And of course there is science behind it. Ceramic coating, Graphene and PPF each protects on the car paint based on a different scientific technique. More on this follows…

Types of Paint Protection Products

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating for cars is a liquid polymer, which on applying to your car’s exterior, bonds with its factory paint and forms a semi-permanent layer of protection over it. Ceramic Coatings are formulated from the same raw material used in glass and ceramics – i.e. Silicon Dioxide or SiO2.

Graphene Coating

Graphene Coating for cars, is created with the addition of graphene to traditional ceramic coatings, creating a lightweight and yet strong coating, which repels dust, in addition to water. This is considered to be a breakthrough in vehicle coating technology.

Paint Protection Films

A paint protection film, or PPF, is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film that shields your car’s paint, defending it against environmental debris, scratches, rock chips and other abrasives. It is transparent, malleable and self-healing making it an advanced choice for protecting your car’s paint while retaining its showroom shine.

Ceramic Coatings vs Graphene Ceramic Coating vs PPF

Protection

Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic. This means they are water-repellant which makes it hard for dirt and dust to stick to it. Since the coating doesn’t really get dirty, it’s easier to clean too! Ceramic coatings also protect the paint from oxidation caused by UV-rays, almost like a sunscreen for your car.

Thanks to graphene’s anti-static properties, graphene ceramic coatings are dust-repelling, as well as, water-repelling. Basically, it won’t allow dust or any other flyaway particles to settle down on the surface of the car. In addition, graphene’s low heat retention property ensures that water does not evaporate on the paint, instead forming water beads that can slide off easily. Graphene’s honeycomb molecular structure imparts a high contact angle to water, making it easy for water to slide down the paint. This reduces the chance of water spots forming on paint.

5 Ways to Maintain Your Car’s Paint Protection Film

As experts in car detailing we at CarzSpa believe that “Quality never goes out of style.”

And with this belief, we developed the revolutionary Aegis Paint Protection Film or Aegis PPF. A no-compromise quality product to maintain the quality of the shine of your car paint, keeping it looking like the day it rolled out of the showroom.

So, if you’ve already invested in the best paint protection film for cars, fantastic! But what comes next? Some obvious questions are: How do I wash a car after PPF has been applied? Are there any recommended washing techniques for cars with PPF? How can I make my car’s PPF last long?

Here are 5 simple ways to maintain your car’s PPF by CarzSpa, India’s most trusted car detailing experts and inventors of the best paint protection film, Aegis.

1. Avoid touching the film after installation

PPF requires at least 48 hours to settle. After installation, avoid touching the film for at least a week. Nevertheless, it is important to take into account that humid weather or high temperatures can also interfere with the settling process of the film. You might also detect a few spots that are foggy or smudgy. However, all of this is perfectly normal and after the film has completely settled and cured, it will grant your car a brand-new finish.

2. Avoid washing your car for seven days after application

The paint protection film takes about a week to adhere to the surface of the car. And when you wash the car during this period, either with water or any regular form of cleaning product, it will hinder the curing process of the film. We suggest you wait for seven days, only then start washing your car indoors or in a covered space regularly. Use clean soft fabric or a wash mitt, and dedicated car wash products (available at CarzSpa Studios) to remove the stains. It is advised not to take the car outdoors during this period, to reduce the possibility of attracting dust and other airborne contaminants on it, making the cleaning difficult.

Additional tip: Avoid automatic car washes as the fast moving brushes may cause deep scratches.

3. How to handle light scratches?

Preventing scratches on your car is one of the most crucial reasons why it needs paint protection. Hence, as one of the finest paint protection film companies in India, we recommend Aegis Paint Protection Films which has the ability to self-heal. Therefore, the paint protection film will not only keep your paint safe but also repair itself as and when necessary.
