We can’t really help the kind of weather you’ll have in the place you live. Whether you have four seasons or two extreme weathers, all you can do is take extra step to protect your car from these. Paint protection in Singapore’s tropical weather will prevent your paint job from fading fast, it also keeps it from expanding and contracting which results to cracking where water or moist can seep through the cracks and create rust. When it comes to paint protection, there are different ways to do that. In this article we’re going to talk about two options you can try which are ceramic coating paint protection and car glass.
The problem is, if you’re not as well versed in car grooming, it’s easy to get confused with what option to go for since they may look similar. In fact, some car owners get tricked by auto detailing and grooming specialist into availing deals that your vehicle may not even need at that moment. To save yourself and your wallet from that, take note on their differences so that you’ll know which suits your car’s needs in the future.
Ceramic Coating Paint Protection
Another way to protect your car is via paint coatings. Paint coatings are relatively new and are one of the up and coming leaders to car detailing in the automobile industry. It serves as an all in one protective layer to a car’s paintwork and UV ray protection is included in its specifications along with many others. It is able to keep your car’s paint looking polished, comparable to that of a showroom standard car and the best thing is that no re-application is required at all as it is highly durable. With this paint coating in place, you will not need to go through the regular hassle of consistently finding sheltered parking lots or frequent waxing sessions for your car.
Ceramic coating can be best measured on the Pencil test scale, where it scores above 9H - which is the highest level on the scale used in the coating industry to determine clear coats. In other words, the 9H means that ceramic coating always stays hard if applied and maintained correctly. Ceramic coating is so durable that it can only be removed through abrasion. So you can rest assured that it won’t be damaged by chemicals that waxing or traditional coating can’t stand. Given that harsh chemicals can hardly penetrate ceramic coating, then you won’t have to worry about water or moisture seeping into your paint job and result to oxidation and corrosion.
Glass Coating
Other people assume that glass coating is the use of material like car windows or windshield, but it’s important to know that it’s not. Glass coating is a form of paint protection. It is performed using a sticky substance made from randomly arranged and transparent compounds. While ceramic coating paint protection and glass coating products may look the same, their structural compositions usually differ. This results to varying characteristics when done to your car. But since both procedure can be performed based on nano technology, glass and ceramic coating can properly blend into the paint job, creating a strong and lasting layer of protective shield to the paintwork and surfaces of your car exterior. However, unlike ceramic coating, glass coating often bonds to the paintwork quickly. This then results to better insulation of the paintwork from effects of harsh chemicals and other elements of damage in the environment. Glass coating is quite strong and easy to apply.
So the question remains, which procedure is better for your car? Well, the answer actually depends on where and how your car is used. Ceramic coating is a cheaper and takes less time to perform but doesn't last as long. But if your car isn't used often or isn't exposed to harsh environment, ceramic coating may do. On the other hands, glass coating may be best for you if you drive a lot and take your vehicle to a lot of different locations. Though glass coating is pricier compared to ceramic, it is highly durable and shiny. So, even though cost is a huge factor when car owners are seeking car paint protection, you should consider what’s best for your car with your existing lifestyle because it may actually save you more money in the long run.
