Contrary to popular belief, car detailing is required periodically, even if a car has been painted with clear coat, in order to keep it in a pristine condition. It is easy to spot the difference between cars that has been detailed regularly against one that isn’t although both have a clear coat finish.

After introducing a layer of car coat on your car, it not only makes it look shinier and more glamorous, it also creates a wetter and deeper color on the car. However, there are other functional advantages that are of greater importance. One major advantage is that this coat provides protection from the sun and ultraviolet ray that causes the car paint to fade. Therefore, your car paint appears new and bright for a longer period of time. In addition, shallow surface defects and spotting caused by acid rain can be buffed out without damaging the paint.

Maintenance of Clear Coat

Clear coat finishes are harder and more resistant to oxidation. However, our auto artisans are very careful not to use abrasive rubbing or polishing compounds on them.

Since the clear coat has no color, it can’t fade or lose brightness, but depending on the environment to which the car is exposed, the clear coat can become dull. This fading occurs slowly and you might not notice any change on a day-to-day basis.

Surface contaminants such as acid rain, rain dust, airborne pollutants, bird droppings, bug splatter and industrial fallout can cause clear coat finishes to look faded. This is because as these contaminants accumulate on the surface of the car, the reflective quality of the finish gets reduced. Which in turn causes the gloss to diminish and the paint to look dull. You can prevent this by removing the fresh contaminants and by washing your car periodically with a premium car wash solution.

You can also eliminate built up contaminants by waxing your car and restore your car’s smooth-as-glass surface. At EA Detailer, we ensure that quality products such as Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, Glass Polish Professional and our latest product, Sonax CC36 Ceramic Coating are used on the car and your car’s outlook will be looking new.

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

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 3^rd 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.

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.

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

5. Time and Cost – Effective

Through this article, EA Detailer will give you the best paint protection at a special price. That’s savings in terms of money and time.

The post 5 Reasons Why Choose Ceramic Coating appeared first on Next powered by EA Detailer.

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.

The post Is Car Paint Protection Coating Necessary? appeared first on Next powered by EA Detailer.

Getting your new car can be a magical experience; however most of us feels the erosion of motivation to maintain as vehicle ages. The early response to “Yeah, I wanna to keep it shining and swee-swee” becomes a chores. Many drivers hence take up paint protection / glass coating in the belief that a layer of initial protection will last you forever. But then again, nothing lasts forever except – DeBeers Diamond. 

Here a few facts you need to know. These simple facts will save you time, money and your paintwork in the long term. 

Fact 1: Not all paint protection products are the same. 

There are may paint protection products out there varying in price, and of course quality. However, price alone should not be the deciding factor when buying a product to improve your car’s appearance. What you want to achieve, should be the deciding factor. A product that protects from bird droppings, UV Rays, acid rain, road salt, bug residue is obviously worth a few dollars more to you, then one that just gives a temporary shine. Furthermore, different products offer different degrees of lasting shine. A product that offers a long shine, and requires less maintenance, will also be worth a few dollars more to you, we are sure. 

Most protectants on the market today, offer only some or limited amount of protection from the above mentioned elements and most do not offer lasting shine without reapplication. *(more than 6 months) 

Fact 2: Prevention is better than cure, but it is not too late for older cars. 

Like most things, prevention is better than cure. A good paint protection system should protect your car long-term. However, if you haven’t protected your car from day one – a good system should be able to improve you car considerably, with a notable difference and also continue to further protect you car the from the day you have applied the paint protection product. 

Fact 3: Car Waxing is so yesteryear. They have been around as long as Henry Ford invented the T-Model. 

Car wax can be great to offer great instant shine, but there are a few drawbacks the average consumer may not be aware of. Firstly, car wax is called car wax, because it is simply, and predominantly made of “wax” – there is no disputing that. Everybody knows that wax also melts with heat. Car wax used on our cars is no different. Excess heat on paintwork that has been waxed, results in the wax softening, therefore loosing shine and more prone to entrapping contaminants. Waxing is great for show cars, but show cars rarely sit in the hot sun all day, day after day. 

Wax, by its very natural state, does not adhere well to the car (in fact there is little that can adhere well to wax). Have you ever tried to stick anything to waxy surface? Similarly wax will eventually wash off your car – leaving you with little protection. 

Fact 4: A simple bird dropping can damage your paintwork. 

Singaporean birds are well-known for taking cars as their private lavatory. You car is being damaged now, and probably don’t even realise it. Many people know that UV rays can damage cars paintwork – but this can take years. More immediate danger are bird droppings – which can damage paint work within a few days. Bird droppings come from the digestive system of birds, and without going into too much biological detail, droppings can contain high levels of acid – acid of course damages paintwork. 

Fact 5: There good reasons why prestigious car dealers use a certain products.

Paint Protection from car detailers is relatively expensive. Why? 

Simply because adds true value to the buyer (and to the vehicle) – and we aren’t talking about just a better shine. A good paint protection application gives an incredible glass shine and maintains the value of your new car. These are the reasons why people are simply prepared to pay an average of a $1000 for good paint protection. It also means less waxing and easier cleaning of your car when it gets dirty. Saving time and superior paint protection means more savings in the long run. 

Fact 6: A car’s paintwork and appearance will assist in maintaining its value and resale value. 

A well-maintained car, with mirror finish paint, will undoubtedly increase its resale value. You will also save time and money now. A good paint protection on you can means you will save time washing your car, as dirt and grime should wash away easily….. and of course no waxing is required, to maintain its appearance. 

How much should you pay? 

To a certain extent – you get what you pay for. 

One simply cannot have a product that one simply wipes on within 30 minutes and is expected to protect the paint effectively. Paint Protection is a professional application and surfaces to be protected have to be prepared, hence the reason for attention to detail and know how, correct use of tools and products. 

EA Detailer use only the most superior product. Our Paint Protection electromagnetically blends with the paint molecules and becomes part of the paint – unlike other products which simply lie on top. It is a silicate ion which has a negative charge and the properties of liquid glass, and is exclusively formulated to prepare, polish, seal and protect the paint finishes. Our Paint Protection repels water,and therefore repels grime and contaminants.

We have 2 kinds of Paint Protection Coating – EAD Diamond Foundation Coating & EAD Titanium Coating; both boasting excellent quality and durability. Both coatings are- scientifically back-up and certified by TUV Gmbh- ISO 9001:2008 Certificate Reg No. 12-100-23160/03 TMS- ISO 14001:2004 Certificate Reg No. 12-104-23160/01 TMS- Approved by Mercedes Benz AG- Approved by BMW Group- Approved by GM GmbH
