Car Paint Protection

 At Star Car Wash, we understand that your car is your pride and joy and that you want to do everything to keep it looking its best. That's why we offer comprehensive car paint protection services. 

Car paint protection is a special coating applied to your car’s paintwork to help enhance and maintain its high-gloss showroom finish. It also creates a barrier that offers protection from the elements, surface scratches and chips, and environmental damage like bird droppings or tree sap to help keep your vehicle looking pristine for longer. 

Benefits of car paint protection

The benefits of car paint protection include :

Long-lasting shine

Our car paintwork protection service produces a high gloss finish that lasts. This not only gives your car an appealing and long-lasting lustre but also acts as a defence against scratches to help keep your car looking pristine for longer.

Shield against the elements

Our paint protection also offers exceptional protection from fading, discolouration, corrosion and oxidation caused by the elements. So, whether you are concerned about UV exposure or the impact wet, cold conditions may have on your beloved vehicle, with our car paint protection, you can rest assured that your car is adequately protected.

Easier maintenance

One of many people’s reasons to protect auto paint is to make cleaning and maintaining their vehicle easier. The paint protection product we use repels water, dirt, and grime to keep your car looking flawless for longer. Plus, when your car is ready for a wash, a simple hose down should be all that’s needed to restore its spotless finish.

Our Paint Protection Process

At Star Car Wash, we are committed to delivering the highest-quality finish to cars, which is why we offer a comprehensive car paint protection process :

  1. Our car paint protection process starts with a thorough cleaning of your vehicle using high-quality cleaning products. This ensures it is fully prepared for the application of paint protection.
  2. After ensuring the outside of the vehicle is completely clean, a clay bat treatment is applied to remove any lingering surface contaminants such as tar and bugs.
  3. A scratch and swirl mark reduction treatment is then applied to help revitalise your vehicle's colour and shine.
  4. Our skilled technicians apply a high-quality all-over duco protective wax polish by hand. This forms an invisible shield safeguarding your vehicle’s paintwork from the elements and environmental contaminants.
  5. Finally, the car paintwork protection treatment is applied to the exterior duco protective wax polish to create a long-lasting, durable high-shine finish. This enhances the shine and depth of your car’s paint and also makes it easier to maintain and clean.

FAQs

How often should I get car paint protection applied?

Paint protection generally lasts around a year. However, this can depend on the conditions your car is exposed to, and our experts may advise you to have more regular treatments. To extend the effectiveness of car paint protection, you should try to park your car in a garage or under cover when not in use to limit exposure to UV rays, harsh winter weather conditions, and environmental contaminants like tree sap. 

Can paint protection prevent scratches?

Professional car paint protection offers effective protection against scratches and stone chips, but it cannot protect against heavy scratches or dents.

Car paintwork protection offers numerous benefits, including :

       Protection from scratches and stone chips

       UV protection

       Easier cleaning
