Your New Car Paint is Not Protected!

The Reality Of Your New Car Paint

Some believe your paint as it leaves the dealership is the best condition it will ever be in. WRONG!  a small percentage of the time, new car paint looks "decent. But most of the time, its contaminated, probably swirled from the dealership wash bay. All of which can and should be fixed if you want your paint looking nice long term!  This is a brand new vehicle that just came off the truck. So what must've happened to this paint?  Trucks, trailers, dealer lots, dealer detailing, its inevitable. 

Protecting Your New Paint

  • The Basics: At the very minimum, have the vehicle detailed with thorough decontamination and a sealant. This will get the paint smooth and a reliable form of protection on the paint that will last you about 6 months.
  • More Modern & Popular: A Professional Ceramic Coating, lasting years for your paint. Our service includes extensive prep before a coating is applied.
  • Paint Protection Film: The pinnacle of paint protection technology. a physical barrier stopping rock chips on your paint. THIS aspect of condition is where your paint is as new as it gets from the dealer. Once a bumper or hood has paint chips, not much can be done to rectify the surface. But you can prevent it with PPF.
