Of course, one of the top priorities for car enthusiasts and lovers is the constant desire and care to maintain the car’s distinctive appearance. That’s why we always receive questions and inquiries from our customers about the best ways to protect car paint and the key differences between these methods. In this article, we will explain the differences between the most popular car paint protection methods and how effective each one is.
Before diving into the different protection methods, it’s important to first understand the composition of car paint layers. In most mass-produced commercial vehicles, modern automotive paint is applied in multiple layers, with a total thickness of around 100 micrometers (0.1 mm). It begins with a **primer layer**, which serves as a base and insulates the car’s metal body from weather conditions. This layer also prepares the car’s surface for the application of subsequent paint layers.
Then comes the car paint with a certain number of layers of the car's base color, and finally the protective layer, which we know as the clear varnish layer, which is a layer to protect all the base layers from weather factors and ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is the layer that can withstand most of the factors that harm the car's paint, and it is also the layer that is always protected, which will be explained now.
Nano ceramic technology (9H) is the latest and most eye-catching method currently for most owners and lovers of luxury cars, due to its effect on the exterior appearance of the car, as it combines the strength of the paint with an attractive shine. Nano ceramic technology products are mostly composed of a polymer compound with other chemicals that not only help create a protective layer on top of the car's paint, but also form a close chemical bond (called nanotechnology) with the car's paint. Therefore, the protective layer becomes more resistant to chemicals, as these materials are invisible to the naked eye. When used on the paint, they block all pores, making it repellent to liquids, salts, and other chemicals, and adding an additional glass layer to protect the original paint, making it more difficult to remove or scratch, which means a much longer life.
This feature prevents and protects against dust and dirt sticking to the paint, in addition to resistance to (chemicals, rust, bird droppings, and tree resin), and the speed of flow and sliding of rainwater and washing water. Therefore, using nano ceramic technology is not only beneficial in protecting the paint, but also reduces the effort of washing the car.
Nano ceramic materials are prepared and applied to the car paint in a professional, automated and controlled manner. The final liquid nano ceramic product is placed on a special sponge and spread on the car paint. It is left for ten minutes to a quarter of an hour until it adheres to the paint. It is then wiped off with a microfiber towel. This process is repeated depending on the number of layers required. It is also possible, depending on the car paint, after applying the product, to shine a heat device (infrared rays) for 60 to 90 seconds and then wipe it off.
Nano ceramic is not only distinguished by its durability and longer lifespan of the protective layer, but it also differs from regular wax by providing a smoother, shinier surface and resistance that lasts for years when used as recommended when cleaning and washing, and with attention to periodic maintenance of the nano ceramic layer.
We also offer interior protection products (car cabin) with nano ceramic products, which provide additional protection from the sun’s harmful rays to leather, fabrics and decor, as well as protecting against the harmful effects of liquids.
The service has drawbacks, however, as it is not effective on highways and in resisting the friction of gravel and sand on highways with the car's exterior body.
The second method of protecting the car paint is considered the most practical, effective, expensive and best service for protecting the car’s exterior body using transparent protective films. Without a doubt, it is the best possible way to protect the car’s paint from all weather factors, sun damage, and even some violent scratches. Therefore, it is the best way to protect the car on the highways.
This is the only method that will actually show results on your car. If this method is implemented correctly and a high-quality, original, non-counterfeit product is used, I guarantee that your car's paint will remain in its original condition for at least five to six years.
The American film has proven over the past period that the American product has proven its worth over all other products in terms of transparency, quality, durability and the type of glue (the film’s adhesive), which could lead to serious damage if the product is not installed and is not original or of unknown origin.
One of the undisputed advantages of this service is that it is the best, most reliable, and most durable way to protect your car's paint from harmful external factors and scratches.
Protective films made with 9H nano ceramic purification are also available with an additional protective layer (TOP CAP), which makes the film more resistant to weather factors, chemicals, and the effects and remains of birds and trees, and facilitates the movement and flow of water on the structure, which helps in the film’s self-healing without any external interference.
