You are about to purchase a new vehicle, and you want it to keep looking like it does on the first day. In order for that to happen, your car will need to have some protection, something guarding it from the forces of nature that decimates the vehicle’s appearance. You’ve heard about protective films, or something called a “Clear Bra,” but the details are not readily available.

Well, it is time for a formal introduction:

Car Buyer, meet Car-Protection.

And here’s what you should know about Automotive Paint Protection Film.

WHAT PAINT PROTECTION FILM DOES FOR YOUR CAR

Automotive Protective Films go by many different names: Clear Bra, Clear Mask, Invisible Shield, Clear Wrap, Rock Chip Protection, Car Scratch Protective Film, etc. The most common terms for car protective films are simply Paint Protection Film and Clear Bra.

Car Paint Protection Film is the most comprehensive form of defence you can establish between your car and those that are able to damage your car’s appearance. Because of the Paint Protection Film’s high impact resistance, its application will protect the paint from chips and scratches caused by rocks and road debris. The urethane film is resistant to corrosion and acidic contaminants, which means that it will create a line of defence from chemical stains and etching caused by bird droppings, bug splatter, mineral deposits and acid rain. It does not oxidize with exposure to the sun, and it will guard the paint from fading caused by UV rays.

The top layer of a quality film is made up of elastomeric polymers that returns to their natural shape after being stretched or disfigured, giving the film a “self-healing” property. That means when light scratches are inflicted in the film, it absorbs the damage and returns to the texture and properties it had before the incident.

With that in mind, applying a quality Protection Film is something you can do today in order to maintain the look and quality of your car’s paint for years to come.

Now, let’s remember, while Paint Protection Film is powerful and its benefits are numerous, it is not a cure-all when it comes to keeping shiny cars shiny. Nothing will make your car bullet proof. There are rocks that can puncture the Film. If bird droppings or bug splatter are allowed to sit on film for a long period of time, it can and will damage the film.

After applying Paint Protection Film, you will still have to maintain your car.

There is no perfect solution for an unending gloss, and that is not what Paint Protection Film promises. Rather, Paint Protection Film promises that after application, when the forces of nature fight against the depth and clarity of your car’s paint, the paint will fight back.

You will add value to your car by protecting it from damage you could not have avoided otherwise. In the words, Paint Protection Film keeps your car looking better for a longer period of time.

THE TECHNOLOGY AND PROPERTIES OF PAINT PROTECTION FILM

If you’re going to wrap something around your fine new vehicle, you’ll want to know what it is exactly. Let’s discuss a little bit more about what’s inside a sheet of Paint Protection Film. The key ingredient is urethane, a powerful and versatile polymer made from carbamate links. As a compound, it has unique attributes: It is lightweight and transparent, similar to plastic.

However, unlike plastic, it is not brittle or susceptible to tears and cracks. It has a high resistance to impact, abrasion, and corrosion. It is also incredibly flexible, and can return to its natural shape after being stretched or disfigured.

The applications of urethane as a polymer are broad, but today we are talking about your car, and for the benefit of your car, urethane serves as a central ingredient in a clear film around 6-8 mils (0.006 – 0.008 inches) thick.

In addition to the central layer made up of urethane (or polyurethane), a quality Paint Protection Film has at least two other layers.

First, the top is lined with clear coat made up of elastomeric polymers. This is the part that enables a good film to heal itself from small scratches. But it does much more. The clear coat on a good film will have a low surface energy, which prevents organic compounds, like bugs or bird droppings, from bonding with the film.

Second, the bottom is lined with an acrylic adhesive that is designed to be:

  • Flexible, so that it can be stretched and wrapped around every contour or your vehicle
  • Durable, so that the film will not detach over time
  • Invisible, so that it will not affect the look of the paint.

DRIVE PROTECTED

What are the Potential Downfalls for PPF?

After being properly applied, Paint Protection Film is invisible to the naked eye and does not inhibit the depth and clarity of your factory paint. But what about over time? If you’ve done some reading around the Internet, you may have encountered individuals documenting defects that have appeared in their Paint Protection Film after a certain amount of time. In particular, some people who have purchased an after-market Paint Protection Film have noted yellowing, blistering, and peeling. For you to make an informed decision, it’s important to know what’s behind each of these de generations and what you’ll need to do to avoid them.

Yellowing

An early complaint against Paint Protection Film was that after time it began turning yellow, which, of course, has a significant impact on the look of a vehicle’s paint, especially for white cars. This complaint was particularly prevalent when Paint Protection Films first started being applied to consumer automobiles. After researching the matter, film manufacturing companies found that the yellowing effect came from the adhesive that was used to bind a film to the body of a car. UV exposure was oxidizing the adhesive, which lead to discoloration.

Upon this discovery, companies began researching alternative adhesives, and began using the acrylic adhesives that are found on most Paint Protection Films today. This newly developed adhesive is UV resistant, and will not oxidize or discolor. This effectively resolved the discoloration concern for Paint Protection Film. Today, if you put a sub-standard film on your car, it may use an inferior adhesive and lead to discoloration. But all quality professional film manufacturers uses a more recently developed adhesive that does not discolour due to UV exposure.

Blistering

A Paint Protection Film is said to “blister” when small air bubbles are found underneath the film. The blistering effect has everything to do with the quality of application. Typically, an air bubble occurs because a contaminant is trapped under the film, creating separation between the body of the vehicle and the Paint Protection Film.

Overtime this can lead to growing bubbles under the film. A proper application process includes hairsplitting attention to the vehicle’s surface before any film touches paint. This includes washing, claying, and polishing. Moreover, a professional application center creates a controlled environment where the air can be filtered to remove contaminants that could potentially get trapped underneath the film. Thus, a sub-par film and unprofessional application can lead to blistering. But when a quality film is properly applied by an experienced technician, the risk is at most very minimal.

Peeling

Peeling is, of course, when the edges of a film begin to peel away from the paint. It can result from a sub-standard film or unprofessional application, but it is often the result of improper care. Specifically, if you are using a pressure wash to clean a car with Paint Protection Film, it is important to stay at least 12 inches away from the film, and particularly from any exposed edges. If a pressure washer is directed at the edge of a Paint Protection Film, it can begin lifting the film, which leads to peeling.

In sum, the complaints against Paint Protection Film do arise from real-world situations. However, as we have outlined, these situations have specific causes that can be averted. If you purchase a high quality film (like Xpel, 3M, CrystGard), have it installed at a reputable shop, and properly care for your protected vehicle, then the risk of defects like yellowing, blistering, or peeling are next to none. And if any of those things do occur, you will be covered by a ten year manufacturers warranty.

Summing It Up: Drive Protected

So when it comes to keeping your new vehicle looking new, Paint Protection Film is the most comprehensive and longest-lasting solution.

What is Paint Protection Film?

If you’re going to wrap something around your fine new vehicle, you’ll want to know not only where it came from, but what it is exactly. Let’s talk a little bit more about what’s inside a sheet of Paint Protection Film. The key ingredient is urethane, a powerful and versatile polymer made from carbamate links. As a compound, it has unique attributes: It is lightweight and transparent, like plastic. But unlike plastic it is not brittle or susceptible to tears and cracks. It has a high resistance to impact, abrasion, and corrosion. It is also incredibly flexible, and can return to its natural shape after being stretched or disfigured.

Given the polymer’s diverse and advantageous attributes, it has a wide variety of industrial and recreational applications. Urethane is used in the household caulk with which you line your bathroom tiles, because it seals spaces from moisture and prevents the growth of mildew or fungus. It can also be found coating boats and underwater cables to prevent damage. It is used in various sporting equipment parts, from football pads to surfboard fins. Its strength and resistance to wear and tear makes it an ideal component for manufacturing and mining equipment. As we mentioned earlier, urethane is still used to protect various parts of military and aerospace equipment.

The applications of urethane as a polymer are broad, but today we are talking about your car, and for the benefit of your car, urethane serves as a central ingredient in a clear film around 8 mils (0.008 inches) thick.

In addition to the central layer made up of urethane (or polyurethane), a quality Paint Protection Film has at least two other layers. First, the top is lined with clear coat made up of elastomeric polymers. As we mentioned above, this is the part that enables a good film to heal itself from small scratches. But it does much more. The clear coat on a good film will have a low surface energy, which prevents organic compounds, like bugs or bird droppings, from bonding with the film.

Second, the bottom is lined with an acrylic adhesive that is designed to be flexible, so that it can be stretched and wrapped around every contour or your vehicle; durable, so that the film will not detach over time; and invisible, so that it will not affect the look of the paint.

What is the difference about Paint Protection Films compared to Ceramic Coating?

Paint Protection Films are durable, much clearer, easier to install, have hydrophobic and self-healing top coat at the same time. Hydrophobic coat makes the film stain-resistant. It also is a solution that is of physical material that provides a much higher protection to your car painted body surface.

Using only TPU film, we will be able to control colors and patterns of TPU films using the same technology. Our technologies make our products unique and our films stand out by quality and competitive pricing.

The History

Paint Protection Film, Clear Mask, Invisible Shield, Clear Wrap, Rock Chip Protection, Car Scratch Protective Film, Clear Bra are all the most common terms for car protective films.

Car Paint Protection Film is the most comprehensive form of defense you can establish between your car and all that can damage your car’s appearance. Because of Paint Protection Film’s high impact resistance, its application will protect your paint from chips and scratches caused by rocks and road debris. The urethane film is resistant to corrosion and acidic contaminants, meaning that it creates a line of defense from chemical stains and etching caused by bird droppings, bug splatter, or mineral deposits and acid rain. It does not oxidize with exposure to the sun, and will guard your paint from fading caused by UV rays. The top layer of a quality film is made up of elastomeric polymers that return to their natural shape after being stretched or disfigured, giving the film a “self-healing” property. That means when light scratches are inflicted in the film, it absorbs the damage and returns to the texture and properties it had before the incident.

Where Did Paint Protection Film Come From?

Whenever you’re getting to know someone or something, it’s helpful to get some background information. So how about a little bio on the technology behind Paint Protection Film.

Automotive Paint Protection Film is a transparent, urethane material. Urethane technology was developed during the Vietnam War, when U.S. helicopters were crashing due to damage on the leading edge of rotor blades. The military worked to develop a technology that would be lightweight, but resilient, and could be replaced at the fraction of the cost of replacing an entire rotor blade (or a crashed helicopter for that matter). In the 1970s, the military expanded its use of urethane films to the noses of fighter jets, and because the technology has been so successful and efficient, the technology is extended to a variety of urethane films for military and aerospace purposes to this day.

In the 1980s, NASCAR saw how urethane technology could be beneficial in protecting the front half of race cars. Advertisers pay a lot of money to get their decals plastered on the front of fast cars, and I’m sure they weren’t too keen on those decals getting peppered by rock chips.

During the 1990s, urethane films became available to the general consumer for automotive protection. Since then the technology has been continually refined and improved, and has been enthusiastically welcomed across the automotive industry. Today Paint Protection Films are OEM approved by virtually all automotive manufacturers.

Now, let’s remember, while Paint Protection Film is powerful and its benefits are numerous, it is not a cure-all when it comes to keeping shiny cars shiny. Nothing will make your car bullet proof. There are rocks that can puncture a Paint Protection Film. If bird droppings or bug splatter are allowed to sit on film for a long period of time, it can damage the film.

After applying Paint Protection Film, you will still have to wash your car. There is no one-stop-shop solution to perfect and unending gloss. That’s not what Paint Protection Film promises. Rather, Paint Protection Film promises that after application, when the forces of nature fight against the depth and clarity of your car’s paint, the paint will fight back. You will add value to your car by protecting it from damage you could not have avoided otherwise. In the words we used earlier, Paint Protection Film keeps your car looking better for longer.

Paint Protection Coating = No More Car Washes?

After Paint Protection Coating, regular car washes are still recommended. As Car owners of your own car, the moment if there is any bird poo or tree sap that lands on your Car Exterior, it is highly recommended to remove through the following steps:

  1. Put 4-5 pieces of tissue over the spot of bird poo or tree saps
  2. Pour water over the tissues spots
  3. Set and wait for 5 to 10mins so that the bird poo or tree saps will soften
  4. Wipe off with baby wipes, otherwise, tissue (note: tissue has still certain level of abrasiveness, which may cause fine line scratch on the paintwork)

So just regular car wash and be more conscious in removing bird poo or tree saps off my car sufficient to maintain my car?

Not exactly true. It is also still recommended to send back to your Car Detailer for maintenance sessions due to Singapore weather and rain deterioration to the protective coating layer.

What happens after your car is being protected with Paint Protection Coating?

Over a period of time, there will be dirt and dust particles will accumulate and settle onto the exterior paintwork which may gradually affect the Coating key properties.

For some car owners, they are constantly conscious about the Coating condition, it will be good to send in for a check at least once every 3 to 6 months under the Coating Conservation Program service.

Other than dirt and dust particles accumulating and stacking on the exterior paintwork, there is also possibility of bird poos, tree sap, scratches and swirl marks accumulating too.

What can be done will be when car owners send in for a 3-Stage Exterior Glow maintenance service, within the service, there will be a machine polish paint correction process to treat on the bird poo stains, tree saps, scratches and watermarks that accumulated on the exterior paintwork; after which due to weather and that we work on the coating layer, the coating layer gets thinner, we will top up coating from there again to seal back again.

To retain your vehicle at showroom condition, 3-Stage Exterior Glow is recommended to be done at least once every 8 to 12 months.

Depending on individual car owners, there is different requirements and concerns as the main driver, which base on the following few factors:

  1. where your car is usually parked
  2. where your car usually goes to
  3. how do you wish to maintain your vehicle

Ceramic coating, glass coating advertised throughout the internet; invading your visual domains. Each claiming theirs to be the best choice. But do you understand the full effect of it?

Car paint, like human skin, is porous. Environmental influences and acid rain infiltration will lead to rust, water marks and corrosion. With the increment in purchase price of their rides, drivers placed a higher demand on their aesthetics too.

The Past life of Paint Protection Coating

Early in the days, mineral wax was the hype of the car beauty industry and which later went into glazing, in fact, glaze still belong to the wax family, but it is in purer form than the natural mineral wax, more adhesion, better hydrophobic quality.

Later, the car care manufacturers found out that the Japanese Shinkansen N700 travelling on the high-speed rail at 300 km look like new, and surface unscathed.

After research, they realised that the coating on N700 can reduce air friction and lower down the occurrence of static electricity, they also learned that the main ingredient is polyurethane.

Researchers found that Polyurethane create a hydronic bond and absorb the external energy and reformation of the hydrogen structure. The polyurethane layer provides a high degree of mechanical wear resistance and flexibility, which create a highly elastic polymer chain.

It is this discovery that rewrites the history of car beauty.

What exactly is Paint Protection Coating?

In 2004, SONAX first proposed the terms – “Paint Protection”.

Paint Protection is composed of a compact structure, stable performance of the polymer molecules, forming a smooth, transparent and durable hard protective layer, which can isolate the air and the car paint surface.

Like a layer of stealth armour for the paint, it provides a reliable paint sealing technology, it is efficient and durable; this protective layer prevents the environment impact affecting the paint.

The protective layer form a layer of a strong polymer network, filling the pores on the car paint. Filling up the porous nature of the painted surface will deliver a flat surface and achieving mirror effect.

Many car groomers in order to increase their sales spread inaccurate views and remarks, resulting many owners wasting a lot of time and costs. Not only did it not achieved their desired results, the vehicle also suffered unnecessary damages.

Let EA Detailer de-myth the wrong understandings about paint protection coating.

Anti-scratch ≠ Car will never be scratched again

While it is true that paint protection coating does indeed enhance the hardness of the paint, it does not mean it is unbreakable. Some manufacturers advocate their product as an “once and for all” solution which is scientifically totally irresponsible.

After coating ≠ No longer need regular care car

Perhaps your car paint has been coated but the lack of attention to the regular maintenance care will shorten the life span.

It is recommended that short maintenance sessions should be conducted once every 3-6 months; this is to remove the layer of oxide resting on the paint surface. These sessions will maintain the brightness and glossiness of the paint.

After plating ≠ no car wash or car wash

This is one of the most hyped myth – once your vehicle is coated, you never have to wash your car again. The effects of environmental factors, acid rain and other oxide substances if allowed a long stay on the paint will reduce the effect of coating.

Does a New Car Need to be Coated?

YES.

You will need to groom your vehicle properly for the first time in order to remove the original wax that comes with the vehicle which after that you will want to top the layer with a PPS and it can reduce the damage to the original car paint.

Does an Old Car Still Need Paint Protection?

For vehicles, more than 3 months old, it must be paint corrected prior coating. This is to remove the oxide layer and paint flaws, the coating can then be better combined with the paint, which played a better protection effect.

Why Should You Protect the Original Car Paint?

The original paint coat is conducted in the absence of any contamination; the formation of high temperature baking offers strong resistance to corrosion and is extremely durable. The moment you send your vehicle to re-spray; the facilities offered by a 3rd party vendor won’t have the standards of the factory outfit. This will generally cause a degrade in the quality delivered. Hence, protection to the original coat is of pinnacle importance.

The advantages of Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating is a formation of an extremely fine Nano-particles hydronic bonded to the original car paint, in comparison to conventional waxes and glaze – it greatly extends the protection to the original paintwork.

Ceramic Coating also improved the depth of the paint, enhancing the hardness and toughness of the paint to prevent scratches and improve hydrophobicity.

Taking into account the trinity of any PPS – “flexibility”, “toughness”, and “brightness”, our Ceramic Coating offers not only strong but a flexible network of ceramic-structured polymer coating.

The perfect shine is the Holy Grail of the automotive appearance industry.

For over a century, professionals have sought a magical solution ― a bullish, long-lasting shine product that is quick and easy to apply and will repel dirt, environmental contaminants, and rain so the vehicle has the best protection on the market.

Given the array of kaleidoscope of products invading our visual sense, what is the difference between finishing products? How far have we come in the world of “coatings”?

Essentially, nano-technology in the detailing industry utilizes a 9th century Mesopotamian trick. A trick in which pottery-makers created a metallic nano glaze made from copper, silver salts, and oxides that created a glittering effect on pottery that up through the Renaissance, made it distinctive for its ancient, shimmering luster. The term “coating” is nothing more than a new term to identify these incredibly durable polymers. Because that’s all these nano coatings are, polymers.

Known as “Surface Science”, products now allow the transfer of particles from one surface to the other so that the nano coating becomes inseparable from the car’s paint surface. Automotive coating manufacturers claim their formulas “bond” chemically and physically to the paint surface, however, all bond loosens over time!

Is hardness the only pinnacle of a good coating?

Every Automotive coating manufacturers has been boasting their SGS Certification on hardness. But think about it – the body of the car flexes as it drives, as the heat and cold play their part on the chemistry of the metal (hot metal can bend more while cold metal is more stiff). When coated with glass and ceramics, two very rigid materials that lack the ability to be flexible, it wouldn’t take long for the coating to crack and break.

And does the warranty works?

Those 7-year warranty coatings are only valid if you can verify you’ve reapplied the product every year or two and washed the car once a month. One of the big reasons these products work so effectively is the amount of prep required to apply the coating. After washing, claying, and buffing the car, you’re often required to wipe down the entire surface with some alcohol based cleaner. This intensive prep period is highly effective in removing all contaminants and oils from the surface to allow the coating to bond to the paint as best as it can.

What is the downside?

Before you can even apply the coating, the surface must be 100% free of surface blemishes, which applies to even brand new vehicles. A multi-stage paint correction involves washing the car, claying, buffing, and keeping it pristine while applying the coating. That last step is particularly difficult for anyone who isn’t working in a clean indoor facility.

Nearly all of these coatings use extremely harsh chemicals that when you open the bottle, smell like a nice sampling of jet fuel. After speaking with many detailers who specialize in applying many of these coatings, they mention how they need to take frequent breaks to refrain from going light-headed. These harsh chemicals contain high levels of VOC’s.

Our Ceramic coating does not only form in a structured atomic manner; it is also flexible. It offers the gloss that will make your car gleamed while flexible enough to bounce off the contaminants and allows your vehicle to flex. Most importantly, we care for our Auto-Artisans. Ceramic Coating is the only coating in the local market that is VOCs-Free; it does not pose any health hazard at all.

As the leading Auto Detailer in Singapore, EA Detailer started an exclusive partnership with Sonax to offer the world’s most powerful ceramic coating. Top 5 reasons why Ceramic Paint Protection Coating is a must have for the discerning automobile enthusiasts who want their cars feeling like it never left the showroom .

5 Benefits of Ceramic paint coating for cars

1. Best Car Paint Protection

Our ceramic coating provides a resilient, flexible protective surface to the car’s body, shielding against all forms of foreign matter which might compromise the integrity of the paintwork. On the daily commute, a car will be subjected to attacks to its body, from debris, UV damage and foreign contaminants. Having a ceramic coating ensures that the paintwork of the car is sealed in a protective layer that prolong the longevity of the car’s paintwork.

2. Durability of Ceramic Coating

With our state of the art equipment and superior technique, we ensure that the coating will be bonded tightly to the car and will not be affected by most external forces. This is in sharp contrast to more traditional vehicle coatings such as wax, which wears off when exposed to environmental elements and foreign contaminants

3. Hydrophobic Effect and Resistance to Dirt

No one car is perfectly smooth, polishing and applying a coat to any one car is a science. The more uneven or perforated a surface is, the easier it is for dirt to find pockets and pits to cling on to. After polishing and claying of the surface, we apply a layer of ceramic coating which works at a molecular level to ensure that that dirt that stick to the surface of the car can be easily removed. Most surface contaminants and dirt will skid off, leaving the car in showroom condition for longer periods of time.

4. Elimination of Constant Re-application

Unlike traditional methods of getting your car “coated”, a single application of Ceramic coating and proper care and maintaining, Ceramic Coating will withstand a long duration of time and EA Detailer is proud to claim that our ceramic coating has a 10-year warranty that it will not spoil your paintwork

Amidst the array of multiple coatings flooding the market, the choice of selection becomes a journey into the abyss of trial and error. Especially when everyone is boasting that their product quality is superior than the rest.

It seems inevitably that the harder the coating; the better it is. But hey, doesn’t hardness also equate to brittleness?

Conventional formulations that build extremely hard and inflexible networks are not suitable to offer optimal paint protection. In practice, such layers hard as glass have proved to be breakable, as thermal influences and impacting particles can quickly cause cracks and brittleness.

“Sonax CC36 Ceramic Coating” was especially designed for use in professional vehicle valeting to protect new or professionally restored paintwork surfaces for a long period.

Sonax R&D team developed an especially advanced long-term paintwork protection. It flexibly adapts to the paintwork surface and lets dirt particles simply bounce off – “The force of flexibility”. Additionally, less dirt particles are more easily washed off – that is what Sonax calls “easy-to-clean effect”.

Sonax CC36 is a dense network of modified siliceous nanoparticles that develop a particularly resistant protective layer – just as a protecting “second skin” that acts as a flexible shield against climatic and environmental influences. The nanoparticles reactively couple with the paint structure and the surface becomes highly consolidated in covalent bonding.

Introduction to EAD Paint Protection Coating

Once a vehicle exits the manufacturing plant, the paintwork is subjected to harsh conditions. Through regular usage, it will endure scratches from flying debris and other environmental factors.

Tree sap, acidic rain and bird droppings eats away the exterior paintwork through chemical reactions. To remove such surface contaminants, the vehicle should be cleaned regularly, but frequent maintenance will also cause the paint coat to get thinner and eventually corrode.

To retain the original paint finish, many vehicle owners are looking for the most reliable sealing products. There are many to choose from, which can be quite confusing.

These substances eventually evaporate and can be removed easily with a wet cloth. They are prone against external environmental damage. Also, the chemicals from these products may be risk-factors for discoloration, can corrode the painted finish, or even cause water marks.

Other factors that make paint coat thinner and corrode each time are washing, cutting, polishing, weather, UV solar rays, and other things. Therefore, its original color is not long-lasting. Due all the various elements, a weather worn and damaged paint surface will devalue the vehicle and affect its beauty. Getting a new paint job then becomes a necessity under these conditions.

This is the reason that many vehicle owners try to find Paint Protection Coating in protecting their vehicle paintwork and condition. Till 16 Jan 2017, EA Detailer have served 2,556 drivers to get their cars coated; we have two types of Paint Protection Coating
