New Vehicle Sealants
A paint sealant is the best protection for your vehicle. The paint sealant actually bonds to your paint, whereas a wax sits on top of your paint. A Paint Sealant is a polymer-based coating which creates an extremely durable barrier to guard your automobile’s paint from the environment and prevents fading, loss of shine and oxidation. A Paint Sealant protects your vehicle’s finish from acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, weather-induced fading, hard water etching, and industrial fallout. Whereas a wax wears off and is washed away within 3-4 months. A paint sealant will generally last about 1 year. Depending how you maintain your vehicle, it can last more or less. But 1 year is about average for a car that is washed and garaged regularly. We clay bar every vehicle, removing any present fallout which prepares for the best bond between your paint and the paint sealant.
A dealership sells a paint sealant package at high prices and state that it has a 5 year warranty. Read the fine print. Most will say in order to keep the warranty activated you must come in every 6 months to 1 year to have it re-applied otherwise your warranty is voided.
Having a paint sealant applied once a year is the best thing for your vehicle. It allows us to remove harmful fallout embedded in your paint every year. Especially with our Pacific NW harsh weather, there are a lot of harmful elements that may damage your paint and must be removed.
