Paint Protection

[Lucki]

Whatever you do, make sure (if you do it yourself) the paint/clear is clean and blemish free before sealing it.

As people have said above, new car does not equate to good, clean, blemish free paint. It is usually the other way, as people washing cars at dealerships get no training on correct techniques and usually don't care... in most cases.

Yep, my guy does a full clay all over as well as some paint correction. He was happy this time as the dealer had done a good job and even though it had been a few months it was still in good shape, he just had to get the wax off.

Opticoat or Gyeon quartz or mohs. You need ceramic coating if you want something to really make a difference. The ceramic coating provides protection from scratches, bird poo etc which a lot of other paint protections cannot provide. Also, watching water literally sheet off the paint after just a basic snowfoam is unbelievable. I have quite a few friends with ceramic coating, one of which is heavy into detailing like myself, and he swears by it.

Has anyone done the PPF coverage?

Ive got a quote for the main areas:
Front bumper, 1/4 bonnet & guards, headlights, door cups, mirrors, B pillars, side skirts, bottom of doors & door edges for around 1600

Good/bad/otherwise


Edit, Booked for for Solar Style SunTek (best in Brisbane so I'm told.)

After reading your thread I enquired about getting a DIY kit shipped to Melbourne for $568 from Duco Scratch in QLD. I'm not sure whether I'm game to attempt laying the film down myself. I reckon the paint preparation is easy enough but don't have a clean enough workplace fit the film. Interested to hear whether anyone else can provide their thoughts or recommend someone in Melbourne Metro to fit the kit for a reasonable price.
