What is a coating? Is a coating worth it? Does it hurt my paint? How often do I need to do it?
Coatings are the newest technological advances in car care. We hear many questions like those all day, every day. A true coating isn't something you just spray on and wipe off or go through a car wash and magically puts a bulletproof layer on your paint. A true coating takes many hours of prep work and applying. Since we can sit here and type until our hands fall off about coatings, I'll hit on the major subjects and myths.
The below is for the introductions to the coatings, for more information, please give us a call. There is much to discuss when talking about coatings!
Coatings are not bulletproof, cars still can scratch, acid rain will still stain, and so on. Coatings are meant to be the sacrificial layer, meaning they take the beating instead of you clear coat. Our coatings will help PREVENT marring, scrapes, stains from acid rain, etc. You probably have seen a coating somewhere, my guess is on the internet, you know, where the water just runs off the car (yes that actually happens). All coatings will say they last "X" years, but in reality, they only last as long as the owner takes care of it. If you take care of your car, meaning you wash it monthly, don't go off-road, or don't beat it up in the parking lot, it's going to last to what the manufacturer says and in many cases, longer. If you are tough on your vehicle, then it may not last as long. There are many brands and claimed hardnesses of coatings out there, its finding the one that is right for you.
We use Gtechniq and Modesta Coatings. To us, through many hours, trips, demos, shop time, and even science, Gtechniq and Modesta are the best coatings on the market. They don't claim things that aren't realistic, they are up front, and better yet, their product works.
Gtechniq has been around since the late 90's. They are huge overseas in Europe and a giant in the US. Modesta has made a name for itself by offering a very prestigious product. The science and application behind their processes and products is absolutely fantastic. There is no doubt, nothing on the market can compete with them.
We will not offer a product that we feel is inferior, we only want to offer products that we know work. Again, we have spent years on research for our customers and will continue to do. Here are the coatings we decided are the best for you.
