Let’s set the scene, you have decided you want a new car negotiated the best deal and your feeling that new car rush…. We have all been there, it’s great. The salesperson then takes you to the accessory area to offer you floor mats, headlight protectors, tow bar and oh yes the dealer paint protection or ceramic coating. Some may even offer lifetime warranty against scratches and price can range from $1400 to $8000.
You look over at your shiny new car and think yep she deserves the best and stay looking pretty so you sign away. You then imagine your car is being prepped and pampered via varying levels of different processes and being polished to perfection and protected via a thin layer of ceramic coating or similar. You then pick your car up and it looks great but after a few months or a few washes later some tar is stuck to paintwork, rain marks are visible or worse light scratches from washing. So what went wrong? Well its not that every dealer does a bad job and I’m not suggesting they are out to get you but they do have a lot of cars to get through each day and just quite simply don’t have the time to spend to do each car properly in many cases.
Some questions that could be asked could be:
- Was all of the transport wax removed before coating?
- Was the vehicle paint inspected for defects?
- Was any car paint correction carried out?
- Was the car paint coated in controlled environment?
- Was the vehicle surface prepped correctly prior to coating or just wiped over?
- Were the windows polished and coated?
It’s a new car I hear you say “is this all necessary?” Absolutely, if you want the car paint protection applied to last and get what you paid for then paint preparation is key. Its also important to look outside of car dealers. At Infinity Auto Protection we get many new cars straight from the dealership floor as our customers know the difference and the big shock is they also save money! That’s right we are in most cases far cheaper than what dealers charge and do the full automotive paint protection process without taking short cuts. We also offer 5 and 10 year warranty on our automotive paint protection service. Are there conditions you ask? Yes, of course but we are clear and upfront about ours. So, if you want to see some car paint protection examples, just look at our Testimonials page website or Facebook. At infinity Auto protection we didn’t invent automotive paint protection but we perfected it…
