Delhi Noida Gurgaon Car Detailing and Polishing – What determines Resale Value of a Car

This article is for all those People who want to upgrade from their current cars and are trying to get top dollar for the car that they already own. J

A used car has certain value, this value is tough to price. The only way to traditionally price the car is based on the following parameters –

a)      Age of the Car

b)      Brand of the car maker

c)       Kilometers Run

d)      Petrol/Diesel/CNG

e)      First Owner/Second Owner/Third Owner

f)       Where the Car is registered

g)      Condition of the engine

h)      Look of the Car

I can probably write 5 more factors but they will not suffice, this is clearly an art and not an exact science. It is so dark and mysterious that eventually this has turned into a very profitable business for people who buy and sell old cars. This is beyond the comprehension of most car owners who are looking to sell their vehicles.

But what the car owner can do is the following –

a)      Make sure all the papers are in order

b)      Make sure the engine is smooth and the car is in prime running state

c)       Make sure the look of the Car is great

It is with the third point c), that I am concerned. This is one of the most neglected areas in any used car sale and purchase transaction. This is where people who buy and sell used cars make their money at the expense of car owners and Car Buyers.

A Great looking used car is not very common and if one such specimen is on the market, it gets sold before we can say – I got cheated by the used car salesman, he bought the car too cheap.

A simple detailing package would be able to help the person selling his car get top dollar for it. In other words, invest 5000 and get 50000 to 100000 more plus the car gets sold very fast. Seems like a great deal.

We may think whatever we want but when it comes to buying a used car most people’s logic is trumped by how the car looks, it can be a year older than what we are comfortable with but if the car looks great, we really would not mind.

Take advantage of this weakness in human nature, we are by our very disposition drawn to shiny and good looking things and a car detailing package carried out by an expert car detailer can ensure that the shiny and good looking thing happens to be our beloved car which we are in the process of selling.

Gurgaon Car Detailing – Tips and DIY Guide

Gurgaon is an upcoming powerhouse in the National Capital Region of India. It is young, expensive and very up-market by any standards.

With the large influx of Young Professionals quite a few of whom happen to be absolute car freaks there is a wide demand for services like Car Detailing and Car Customization.

This fact leads me to pen a few paragraphs for all those budding car lovers who want to take their love to the next level. J

A Car is nothing but a amalgamation of a person’s needs and wants. Everybody needs a car and everybody also wants one. The subtle difference is that a need dictates a car’s functional utility per se and a want dictates a specific brand car.

If we are asked what we all want we would all answer Ferrari or Aston Martins but the not so light topic of Purchasing Power bogs us down.

Now how do we get what we own looking the best that it possibly can – Simple, by taking care of it.

What steps do we have to follow for a car – 2 Basic Steps, can be done by anyone but aren’t, sadly.

a)      Prevention is the best cure - Keep your lovely Car away from the Harsh Natural Elements as far as possible, this simply means keeping the cover under a car cover. While some of you will think about the very light, and I mean very light swirl marks which might be left over when the car cover rubs against the car paint but in my view it is still fine because direct exposure to natural elements like dust, harsh sunlight and tree sap or bird poop. These lead to faded paint and quite permanent marks, in Punjabi we would call them nazar battus J.

b)      Massage – Yes, even the car needs a massage once in a while which can be something as simple as a coat of wax every one or two months. Wax apart from imparting shine to the car exterior also forms a thin layer of protection which goes a long way in keeping the car paint in prime condition. A hard paste wax lasts the longest but is more difficult to apply while a liquid wax lasts a little lesser but is much easier to apply.

If a Car Lover was to follow just these two basic steps he would be doing 60% of the work required to keep a car looking good. We live in Delhi and NCR where a new car looks new for less than 4 months on an average but the above two steps can go a long way in beating this specific law of averages. For long term expert protection you would still need expert detailers like us.

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – What exactly is Car Paint made of

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – By Machine or by Hand

EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – By Machine or by Hand

This is one aspect of car detailing which is up for debate all the time. In one camp are traditional car lovers who say that machines are far more aggressive than necessary for Car detailing and should be avoided or minimally used. In the other camp are New Age types who think that when something can be done faster and better using machines, then it should only be done that way.

The best road to take is the middle ground.

There are some steps which do require the care and time that application by hand can do justice to, while there are some steps which are better carried out with the help of machines.

Now, precisely which machines are we talking about. They are of course the big and bad Car Polishing Machines. There is a whole army of them – Orbital, Rotary, Dual Action, Small Backing Plates, High RPM, Low RPM etc and plenty of brand names like Meguiars(a recent entrant), Makita, Festool, Bosch, Dewalt to name a few.

For beginners, Rotary Polishers are a big No. They are noisy, aggressive and if used improperly can just cut through the base coat layer. Beginners are well advised to stick with a Low RPM Dual Action Polisher.

For Experienced Professionals Rotary Polishers are the 1^st choice followed closely by Orbital Polishers. They also happen to be the most effective is used properly.

Whether to use machines or to go in for hand application depends on three basic factors –

a)      Condition of the Paint of the Car

b)      Skill Level of the person carrying out the polishing process

c)       Products and Tools available

If a), b) and C) are all a resounding Yes in terms of Bad Paint Condition, High Skill Level and Great products and tools available then Rotary it is, maybe even Orbital can be looked at.

But if even one of a), b) or c) is not a resounding yes, then it is much safer to not use a heavy duty car polishing tool, remember these machines can go upto RPMs of 3000 to even 4000 in a few cases, speeds at which a very high degree of precision and skill is needed to use them.

You are far better using a very high quality Car Polish and Car Wax which have some degree of abrasive content, Believe you me, It is far easier to deal with a bad hand application job than a bad machine application job.

EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Can Anybody Carry out Car Detailing & Polishing

Yes and No.

If we talk about simple things like applying a coat of wax or washing the car with a car shampoo, yes almost everybody can but when we get into esoteric topics like Paint Sealants and Car Polishing and Machine Compounding it is best to stay away if you are a newbie.

What as a Car Owner can I do if I am not an expert car detailer –

Plenty of things, nothing stops you from carrying out simple processes in order to keep your car looking good. The only things stopping you are hard work and patience. Smile Smile.

I have listed a few things which are easy and not time consuming but the effect on the car’s looks is noteworthy –

a)      Car Wax – Car Wax is the most underutilized product in the car care space, it is effective and as long as you are not using an astonishingly cheap or fake product, car wax would give you good results. Just apply, wait for it to dry and then simply wipe off, don’t worry too much about the tiny flecks of dry wax which would be stuck in the crevices of your car, normal running and driving of the car would simply make them fly off !!

b)      Car Shampoo – Always use a mild shampoo, and if possible do not use hard water for the wash as the car paint would be covered in hard water stains if a shampoo based car wash is done even a little regularly. Use a clean terry cloth and remember, you are not fighting to get the dirt off you are just helping the dirt come off. Let the shampoo do the work instead of you.

c)       Vacuum Cleaner – A Household Vacuum cleaner with a long enough nozzle can be used at home to get the dust and dirt out from the interiors of the car, it should be done once a month and will hardly take more than 15 minutes. Does it pay off, you bet. Please do not fight the machine just help the machine do the work, interpretation – Just point the machine at the right areas and the machine would do the needful.

The only caveat is that we are aiming for a “good enough” job, not perfection. As long as we keep that in mind, I am very sure anybody who follows the above steps would be a happy car owner.

A wise man has said – I am concerned with Excellence, Perfection is God’s Business. Remember his wise words. In case you are aiming for perfection just call expert car detailers like us.

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Abrasive Based Polishing Compounds

EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Abrasive Based Polishing Compounds

Polishes are Abrasive Based – Fact

Most Polishes take off a bit of Car Paint – Fact

All Polishes take off a bit of Car Paint – Opinion? And it is Untrue

Abrasives based Polishes which are cheap and local contain abrasive granules on the one hand scrape and instigate the car paint when used with a high powered polishing machines and on the other just strip a layer of paint off the car thus making the surface shiny as new paint is exposed.

Specialized Polishes which contain something called diminishing abrasive granules contain oils and when the car paint is polished using them on one hand the granules slowly diminish into nothing while being polished and buffed thus not harming the car paint unnecessarily and on the other hand the oils massage the car paint surface for an even and glossy finish.

A simpler way to understand this would be to run a car without engine oil, will it run, it will, will it run smoothly, not for long. Diminishing granules and oils do what engine oil does for an engine, they lubricate and polish the car paint with harming it one bit. The same is not true for majority of polishes available in the Indian car care Market.

When should one get a Car Polished

In an environment like Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, it should be done atleast twice in a year to keep the car looking spanking new, as far as a car is considered, exterior beauty is far more important, nobody cares what the insides of a car look like if the exteriors paint an uninviting picture. Pun Intended.

Whenever as a consumer we want to get car polishing done, we should ask the polisher what compound he is using and whether he even knows how safe or unsafe it is for the car paint, if he says that he has been using it for ages and it is good but he cannot answer basic questions related to a bit of science behind it just zip up your wallets and drive away, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The lure of a low price should not entice us to play havoc with our precious car’s looks, imagine for a sum less than 5000 Indian rupees we would be willing participants in a bet involving the well being and beauty of our vehicles which cost a large multiple of the cost of polishing.

Choose very carefully, make sure the person knows a bit about the process, not just the sales part but also the technical part, after all once a polishing mistake takes place the only remedy is a repainting job which apart from being very expensive also inconveniences the car owner.

Car Care Ideas from Car Detailing and Car Polishing Professionals in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Care Ideas from Car Detailing and Car Polishing Professionals in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

After exhausting a week trying to figure out which is the best do it yourself way to keep a car in good condition we have realized it takes a standard 4 step process once a month to keep the car's looks in top shape -

Clean - You can use a Car Shampoo for this, and use a clean terry cloth

Detail - You can pick up Formula 1 products from the market, these are entry level products and easily avaiable in car markets

Detail and Polish - This is usually better done by professionals, but as DIY you can try Formula 1 products and I can assure you that even if you do it yourself the car would gleam and shine like a new bride 

Protect - Use Carnuaba Wax, formula 1 or Abro for this stage, jut wax the car slowly and after the wax dries off just take it off by using a clean terry cloth

If you do this by yourself, you would have a beautiful and shiny exterior and it would last for 3-4 months, the cost will be more than recovered by the compliments you will recieve 

PS - It is very important to use a clean terry cloth while doing anything on the car, a dirty rag only harms the paint and over time would leave light scratches all over the paint

Hope this helps,

Car Polishing Options in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Polishing Options in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Polishing is becoming more popular by the day in India, especially in areas surrounding Delhi and NCR which includes Noida and Gurgaon. Every day service centers get customers who want their cars polished and made shiny and they are quite hard taskmasters, they pay but they also want a great end result.

We can categorize Car Polishing outfits into the following categories -

a) Roadside Car Polishers

b) Authorized Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On

c) Multibrand Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On

d) Detailing outfits which have great prices but normally use lower grade polishes and machines and their work quality is very questionable

e) Detailing outfits which have good prices and the materials, machines and work quality is par excellence

Let us analyze these one by one -

Roadside Car Polishers

They use any fake product in their routine, because as one wise man said - If you want ants you throw sugar on the floor, they are the proverbial ants who entice customers with cheapness and promise the moon but end up quite short when the topic of their work quality and durability of finishing comes up. It is best to just stay away from them. Considering a new paint job for a car in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon can cost anything from 20000 to 45000, it is far too risky to play with the car's finish and looks for a few hundred rupees.

Authorized Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On

They specialize (That is questionable) in Car servicing, but will polish a car if the customer wants it. Getting them to polish a car is like making an orthopedic surgeon give you a root canal for your tooth. Very Unwise. They do not know what Polishing compounds to use but never ever will they give that impression. They are the unfailing Jack of all trades and Master of None.

Multibrand Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On

Same category as above but please do check out their coupons and free break down service offers, when the time comes they go back on their word. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and these guys are no friends.

Detailing outfits which have great prices but normally use lower grade polishes and machines and their work quality is very questionable

The Snakes, they think the work is easy and they can manage it, that is great motivation for them but very wrong for the Car. Ask them a few insightful questions and their sales pitch breaks down faster than you can say "Fake". They are JIT (Just in Time) Car Polishers, when they get an order then they think about how to fulfill it. And their work is just not sustainable, a few thousand for shine that lasts 15-20 days, no thank you.

Detailing outfits which have good prices and the materials, machines and work quality is par excellence

Definitely not the cheapest but they are really good at what they do, there are a handful of them in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon and they take their work very seriously. They answer questions easily because they have taken the time out to deeply understand what needs to be done, how much improvement can be sought in the car's appearance and how sustainable would their work be. Use top grade compounds and machines and never compromise on materials or work quality and the sustainability of their work is amazing. The Car would look showroom new and look that way for quite sometime

The next time you are in a dilemma regarding where to get car polishing done in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon just remember it is not very smart to screw something as expensive as a car for a few hundred bucks, if that was the case, every car would get serviced at the car market or on the roadside.

What is termed as Car Polishing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, is it any different from Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

What is termed as Car Polishing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, is it any different from Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Polishing at its very basic consists of using an abrasive based polish to take a light layer of paint off and making the surface shiny, the brand of polish used can have an effect on the shine but the work typically will not last, it is at best a short term measure to primp up the car’s look. Does more harm than good mind you, what if you put an abrasive face mask and then looked fairer, you would look fairer but your skin would feel terrible.

Car Detailing for exteriors consists of cutting the paint and then glazing, sealing and waxing it to make the surface even shinier and scratch and imperfection free and it also ensures that the new shine lasts much longer. It is non-aggressive and does not stress the paint. When done by professionals who are using high end products and tools it can be exceptionally effective.

Which is more prominent in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, hands down, it is car polishing!!! J

Why? I do not know, We should ask the guy using rubbing polish and a cheap polishing machine and telling us, kar denge sir and ho jayega sir and main guarantee leta hun sir!!! J

A Good Detailer is not Cheap and a Cheap Detailer is not Good J

This is a very interesting question which car owners often get confused about due to lack of knowledge or misguidance by Car Services Professionals.

The answer is – IT DEPENDS

On what – What the Car Owner Wants ?

There is one question that needs to be answered by the Car Owner himself without seeking the advice or wisdom of a car services professional –

DO I WANT MY CAR TO LOOK LIKE THE DAY IT CAME FROM THE SHOWROOM?

The answer to this question should decide which service needs to be looked at.

A Short description of each –

Car Wash – Often Mechanized, it is fast way to wash mud and other contaminants off the Car Surface

Car Cleaning – More Detailed, Removes dirt from the Insides of the car and is often carried out using machines and cleaning products

Car Detailing – A Detailing Job carried out by a Professional Expert takes ages and is focused on one parameter – Putting the Car Back into Showroom Condition, This is the only parameter that counts and if it is not achieved, then it should be seen as a waste of time and effort, the products used and very hi-end and so are the machines and methods

74 Tips To Extend the Life of Your Car

CREDIT TO - http://www.rd.com/advice/saving-money/74-car-care-tips-to-keep-your-automobile-in-topnotch-condition/?v=print

Care and Maintenance Tips Keep Your Car Running in Top-Notch ConditionWe’ve compiled our best expert advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your automobile!

1. Be patient during the break-in period

You’ve bought your dream car and now you want to make it last at long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer’s lot:

• During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer.
• Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials.
• Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.
• Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving.

2. Drive with care everyday
Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive with care every day and your car will reward you with longer intervals without repair.

• Do not race your car’s engine during start-up.This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside.
• Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation.
• Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components.
• Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped.
• Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or very cold outside. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent repairs.
• Extend the life of your tires with careful driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber.
• When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump.
• Consolidate your short driving trips. Most of the wear and tear — as well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer.

3. Buy gas at reputable service stations

Ask whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump and if the station has a policy about changing the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and dance, find another gas station. Some stations don’t have pump filters, making you more vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse, water down their product. Find a station you trust and stick to it.

4. Don’t fill up if you see the tanker

If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

5. Go easy when you’re stuck

When stuck in mud or snow, don’t make the problem worse by damaging an expensive component. Gently rocking in an attempt to free the car is fine. But if it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair bills down the road. It’s a good idea to carry a traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter.

6. Lighten up your key chain

Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

7. Choose a good car insurer

Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes.

8. Keep an auto log

Keep a pad and pencil in the glove compartment and use them to record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car.

9. Preserve your car during long-term storage

If you are not going to use your car for more than a month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary damage and repairs upon your return.

• Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to distribute the additive to engine parts.
• Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the finish.
• Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-mil polyethylene drop cloth will do.
• Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake corrosion.
• Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of the vehicle off the wheels and tires.
• Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-volt charger.
• Plug the tailpipe with a rag to prevent moist air from infiltrating into it.

Car Detailing Trend in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Detailing Trend in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Detailing is a 30 Billion dollar Industry in the United States and is a relatively new trend in Asia, especially in India.

First let us look up what Wikipedia has to say about Car Detailing –

Car Detailing is to meticulously Clean, Polish, Buff and Protect all parts of a Car from top to bottom, inside and out, using specialist tools and products that would not be used by a typical car cleaner/car wash

This is a slightly modified version, but does the job. It captures the essence of what Car Detailing is about and what it entails.

In India especially in Delhi and surrounding areas like Gurgaon and Noida, Car Detailing is fast becoming a hot trend with Expensive Car Owners lining up for services like Paint Protection, Wrapping and Car Polishing. Some of the major players are constantly upgrading their service offerings with the end result that the quality and variety that they are able to offer can match their counterparts in the United States and Europe.

Products from Meguiars and 3M now command a healthy following from DIY car owners and Car Detailing professionals. It does not matter that a single Meguiars can of wax can cost upwards of 1500 Indian Rupees which is approximately 30-35 US dollars.

The presence of a large number of BMWs and Audis on Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida Roads has automatically forced Car Detailing Professionals to upgrade the products and machines they use as the care and maintenance of these brands cannot be done by local products and local car cleaners.

Car Detailing Packages start from 1500 Indian Rupees and can go upto 400000 for a Hi-End Car Wrapping Package.

Overall, even with the large number of spurious products and untrained self proclaimed car detailers around in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida, the trend of Car Detailing is here to stay as –

a)      There are still 3-4 high quality and honest car detailing companies operating

b)      The consumers are much more aware of who is to be trusted and who not to, thanks to the internet and Social Media

How To Wax Your Car - Detailing 101

Many new car owners look at the clearcoat as a protective layer that shields their car against harm. This is simply not true. The clearcoat is a tough clear paint that is there to protect your color coat and add depth in shine. Although harder than single stage paints, it is not a super high tech protectant, it is just clear paint and needs to be protected just like the older single stage paints.

Car Wax, Paint Sealants And Paint Protectants, What’s The Difference?

When choosing your protection you must first understand the somewhat confusing term, “protectant” which can mean several things in the automotive finish care industry. To simplify things, car waxes, paint protectants and paint sealants all fall into the same “paint protectant category”. Although some protectants do a better job than others, they all protect against the harsh environmental elements and help prevent premature deterioration caused by the onset of oxidation. With modern technology, a traditional car wax would be considered “old school” and be less protective than the more advanced paint synthetic sealants and protectants.

Synthetic Paint Sealants vs. Old School Traditional Paste Wax

When choosing a paint protectant product, some compare liquid vs. paste wax and assume that the paste wax is better because it is tough to put on and take off. This is not necessarily true. The object of a paint protectant is to have it bond with the surface to create a protective barrier against harsh environmental elements as well as make your paint slick and look good. When you wipe off your protectant residue, you want to make sure you leave as much bonded protectant on the surface as possible. With the newer technology of liquid paint sealants this is an easy task and they actually do a very good job. With older paste waxes, this is more difficult as you need to work hard to remove the residue and at the same time you are creating friction, which causes removal of a portion of the protectant that you truly need to leave behind.

How To Choose Your Paint Protection

There are many choices when it comes to car wax, paint sealants and paint protectants. When it comes to choosing, you will want to make sure your protection choice includes durability, looks and don’t forget, slickness. With these key characteristics in mind let’s move forward and take an in-depth look at the chemistry of paint protectants.

• Traditional Paste Wax – Paste waxes are usually older technology and are a hard wax substance that contains silicone and petroleum distillates to create a temporary shine. They are often difficult to put on as well as remove. In fact, the pressure it takes to remove the wax residue will also wear away part of the wax protection that would ideally be left on the surface for protection.



• Carnauba Based Wax – The true Carnauba Based Wax are soft, easy to use waxes that are usually a little pricey and known for looks, not longevity. These waxes are commonly called toppers. They are commonly used to top acrylic paint sealants that need a little shine. The carnauba works well on all colors but will show more on darker or deeper colors. The downfall of the protection is that pure carnauba melts at about 160 to 170 degrees so the look fades fast and the protection doesn’t hold up on hot sunny days, especially on dark colors, which tend to draw the heat. Basically, put it on when you want to look good but don’t expect it to last.



• Cleaner Wax – A cleaner wax is a one step product that has some polishing ability as well as a protectant. They work well for those who have a surface that is free of defects and plan on using further protection. The cleaner wax is generally about the same aggressiveness as a pre-wax cleaner. The problem with a cleaner wax is that because of the cleaners you are not able to leave as much protection on the paint surface so you will want to follow up with more serious protection that is not a cleaner wax.
  
  
• Synthetic Paint Sealants – Man perfected the Wax! Newer technology reveals synthetic paint sealants that offer serious, long lasting protection. Unlike traditional waxes, synthetic paint sealants can withstand temperatures over 1000 degrees which make them much more durable. When choosing a synthetic paint sealant you need to know the difference between the two basic types of synthetic paint sealants. While they both offer good protection, they will vary in shine and slickness. A quality synthetic polymer based paint sealant will generally offer your best protection, shine and slickness, while the acrylic based sealant will provide good protection but is not as slick and may need a little help from a carnauba topper for shine.

Now that you know the difference between traditional waxes and synthetic sealants, you can make an educated decision on what will work the best for your needs. There is no right or wrong choice, just make sure you protect your paint and keep it protected!

PAINT PROTECTION PROCEDURE

WASH - CLEAN - PERFECT - PROTECT - MAINTAIN

New or older, no matter how well you have taken care of your car, you still need to prep your surface. Protecting your surface properly is actually the fourth step if you want serious protection and the best looking shine. We all know washing is necessary to remove loose dirt and grime before we protect our surface, but what about the bonded contamination and minor defect removal and gloss enhancement? A properly prepared surface not only looks better it actually helps your protection bond with your paint surface which helps it protect better and longer.

STEP 1- WASH

We all know that washing your car removes loose dirt and grime. What you may not know is that your car washing procedure is the number one cause of swirl marks! Don't worry - this can be avoided by using high a quality car wash shampoo, wash mitt and microfiber drying towels. With high quality products and a little education your car wash procedure will not only be safer, it will be easier and you will achieve much better results.

For more information on how to properly wash your car read our Detailing 101 – How To Wash Your Car Article.

STEP 2- REMOVE BONDED CONTAMINATION

Many think that claying is an optional step and a product for professional detailers. This is not necessarily true! Contamination doesn’t care if your car is old or new. Even if your car is new it has been subjected to many types environments between the factory lot waiting for transport via ship, train or truck or a combination of transports, then it may have sat on the lot waiting to be bought for who knows how long. During this time, contaminants such as pollen and pollution were floating around the air and had a chance to bond to your paint surface. If you don’t remove the contamination, you are actually protecting over it instead of allowing your paint protection to bond directly with your paint.

Claying your car with a detail clay or using the Ultima Elastrofoam Cleaning System is not a substitute for polishing your paint, it is a process to be done prior to the polishing process to remove surface contaminants that make your paint rough. When your paint is rough, dirt and grime tend to stick and build up, creating even more problems. Claying is simple and will quickly and safely remove the contamination and prepare your car for the polishing and protecting steps.

For more information on properly detail clay your paint or how to Ultima Elastrofoam Clay Replacement System read our Detailing 101 – How To Detail Clay Your Car Article.

STEP 3- PERFECT AND ENHANCE GLOSS

After your surface is free of surface contamination it is time to remove defects, staining and enhance overall shine by cleaning and polishing your paint with a pre-wax cleaner or paint polish system. What you are looking for your polishing process or pre wax cleaning to do is offer a clean, contaminant free, optically clear paint surface that is ready for protection. For proper bonding, the surface should be perfectly smooth and free of defects prior to your application of your chosen car wax, paint sealant or paint protectant

If your car is new, more than likely you won't need to remove defects unless your car has been on the lot for a while and been stricken with that dreaded swirl from poor washing procedures by the dealership. If your car is older, it depends on how well the car has been maintained as to whether or not it needs correction or just gloss enhancement.

If your paint is free of defects you will still want to use a pre-wax cleaner like the Ultima Paint Prep Plus to enhance the shine and prepare your paint surface for your paint protectant, sealant or car wax. This can safely and easily be done by hand or machine.

For those needing more serious defect removal, I would recommend the Sonus Polishing System for scratch, oxidation and swirlmark removal as well as overall gloss enhancement.

STEP 4- WAX YOUR CAR

The term “wax your car” started with the old school waxes when you actually put wax on your car’s paint. Nowadays, it is a term that is used for the paint protection process of applying your car wax, paint sealant or paint protectant. This does not mean you need to apply a wax. It also does not mean you need to wax after a paint sealant. Remember, the object is to protect and the car wax, paint sealant and paint protectant all do this job so you truly only need one product for protection with the exceptions of topper type waxes.

Now that you have done the proper prep work, you should have a have a high gloss, slick, contaminant and defect free surface and now you are ready for your protection! I know it seems like a long road but trust me, the end results will show your work and the actual protection process is quite simple.

Traditional Car Wax, Paint Sealant and Paint Protection Application Instructions

Always work in a shaded area and on a cool surface.

• To begin your wax or paint sealant application process, start at the top surfaces of your car. Apply a very thin, even layer of your car wax or paint sealant with a quality microfiber or foam wax applicator working in a back and forth motion in the direction of the panel or along the lines of the car. This process may also be done with a finishing pad on a dual action polisher.



• When you are finished applying your car wax or paint sealant to the entire car you will need to wait for it to cure and bond with the paint. This generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes but could take longer depending on the type of car wax or paint sealant and weather conditions.



• Test a small area by performing a “swipe test” to see if your car wax or paint sealant residue is ready to remove. To do this test, briskly wipe your finger across a small area of wax residue. If it smears, wait a little while longer, if leaves a clean area, it is time to wipe off.



• Start your car wax or paint sealant removal at the same place you started your application. With a high quality microfiber buffing or polishing towel, wipe in a back and forth motion, just as you did during your application process. As you work, fold the towel often to reveal a fresh side and every once in a while shake out any loose residue build up.
• For best results repeat the protection process in about 12 or more hours after your car wax or paint sealant has had a chance to harden and finish bonding with your paint. A second layer will ensure even coverage as well as enhance the shine.

Ultima Paint Guard Plus Wipe-On, Walk-Away^TM Application Instructions

Ultima Paint Guard Plus is a synthetic polymer paint sealant that goes on clear and is a Wipe-On, Walk-Away^TMthat offers serious durable protection, a deep, wet looking shine and offers superior slickness. The thin, clear liquid will not build up in the cracks, crevices, emblems and will not stain trim.

• Ultima Paint Guard Plus must be used very sparingly. About 1/4 ounce of product is all that's needed to treat most cars. Start at one corner of the vehicle (e.g., left front fender). Mist the Ultima AutoSpa Microfiber Applicator with Ultima Paint Guard Plus twice (two pumps) to prime the pad with product.



• Wipe the product onto the surface of your paint in a circular motion to spread out and finish by wiping in a straight line motion. (This will help to see where product has been applied).



• When it appears that no more product is being applied to the paint, spray one more shot of product onto the applicator. Do not spray directly on your vehicle.



• Continue to apply until the entire vehicle has complete coverage. By the time you get back to where you began, the first couple of panels should already look dry.



• For best results repeat this process in about 4 or more hours after Ultima Paint Guard Plus has had a chance to cure and bond with your paint. This will ensure even coverage for your protection as well as enhance the shine.

It’s that easy - the entire Ultima Paint Guard process should take less than 10 minutes!

Quick Detailing To Maintain Your Protection and Shine

Quick Detailing is a simple solution that will cut down on your regular washing routine by maintaining your car's paint when it is just lightly dusty. Just a few minutes a day or every other day will refresh your protection, enhance the shine and keep that just detailed look!

For more information on properly quick detail your car read our Detailing 101 – How To Quick Detail Your Car Article.

How Often Should I Wax Or Protect My Paint

The answer is 2-4 times per year; depending on the environmental conditions and if you park in a garage or outside. Many car wax, paint sealant and paint protection manufactures make big claims that their product will last a year or longer. The truth is that there are no miracle products and although you may find protection on your paint after a year, would you rely on it for your protection? Think of it as you would your sunscreen, would you put it on yourself or your child early on a scorching hot day and rely on it to protect all day? Yes, you would still have sunscreen on at the end of the day, but more than likely you will also have a sunburn. The moral of this story is that just like your skin, the environment can cause premature aging so KEEP PROTECTED!

Many people ask, “do I have to do all of the steps?," and the answer is no if you are looking for mediocre results and protection. If you expect the best, then yes, you need to follow the proper steps and avoid any short cuts. You spent a lot of money on that car or truck and will get out of it what you put in to it so protect your investment by properly taking care of it!
