Car Wax

A good car wax can easily last 2 to 3 months. Waxing your car at periodic intervals ensures that the exterior paint stays protected from harmful external elements such as dust and UV rays. Moreover, the wax layer also prevents minor scratches and gives the car a glossy look.

PPF

PPF is also called as Paint Protection Film and it is essentially a transparent film that protects the car paint. The PPF has the ability to absorb the damage and offers much better protection against road debris and rock chips - Ensuring good protection of factory paint finish.

Ceramic Coating

The Ceramic Coating is a semi-permanent layer of protection with hydrophobic characteristics. Though Ceramic Coating is not as effective as PPF against rock chips, it generally lasts longer and also gives the car a very glossy look. Also, Ceramic Coating is very effective against acidic water.

Paint Sealant

Using good quality paint sealants such as Teflon Coating is also a good solution to protect factory paint finish. However, unlike PPF and Ceramic Coating, Teflon Coating lasts for less than a year, but it is also a lot less expensive as well.

Car Cover

Using a car cover is the most affordable method to protect your car's paint. A simple car cover will protect the car and the car paint from external elements. Also, if you are planning not to use your car for a long period of time, using a car cover will protect your car from dust as well.

Thoughts About Car Paint Protection

As mentioned, buying a new car is an emotional moment for many people in India. As such, preserving the new car feel is very essential and a good paint protection manages to preserve that emotion well.
