Why do we love our used cars? We keep some cars as they get more expensive with age because of their rarity and uniqueness, or we have to drive others because of the limited budget, or we don’t feel like selling the other ones. All these cars have one thing in common – rust spots, chips appear on all of them over time, and their clear coat becomes cloudy because of the scratches. At some moment, you’ll need to return its previous appearance to the car, protect the body from future destruction. Modern car body service market offers two archaic solutions:

 Classic painting of the whole car to be clear-coated

      - Preparing for and painting the car both take more than two working weeks, leaving you without a vehicle, but with a pressing issue of how to get from point A to point B and not to waste half a day on that, or it exposes you to huge taxi expenditures;

      - The cost of painting exceeds €2,000;

      - Dismantling of the whole car, together with removing its interior; the risk to damage or lose fasteners due to assembly faults resulting in interior squeaks and rattles;

      - The quality of the clear coat used at the service station and the processes of application significantly compromise to those at the factory, and thus, serve shorter;

      - The saddest thing among the above-mentioned is that in half a year the surface of the clear coat will be covered with scratches and chips, and in about a year old rust spots will start to show through;

      - Repairing the lacquer and paint coat includes dismantling the part, removing the old clear coat, pre-sanding, priming and painting of the whole part; you will be asked to leave your car for three days and pay about €200 for refinishing of one part;

      - Do not expect it will be covered by warranty, as no one allegedly is secured from the chip, which will immediately cause corrosion of the body element, and you are going to the service station again, remembering the number of a taxi service.

 Vinyl film car wrap.

      - Preparing the car and applying the film to the car take one working week;

      - The cost and the quality of the wrap depend on the film producer. For example, to wrap the car with an original film produced by 3M starts from $1,500;

      - Application of the car-wrap is impossible without dismantling the whole car, together with the risk of assembly faults resulting in interior squeaks and rattles;

      - The car-wrap is hard and absolutely non-elastic, it is not repairable when damaged. In general, the detailers take off the whole damaged element and then apply a new one. Thus, you pay three times: first, to remove old vinyl film, then for the new piece of the film and for the application of that same piece of vinyl. Such repair will take at least two days and cost not less than $100. 

      - The car-wrap is considered to be a removable protective coating. Apart from a few top companies, whose film costs not less than $40 per meter, after heating, normal wear and removing the film, there remains an adhesive residue, which cannot always be cleaned off completely. It’s not unusual when the adhesive penetrates the clear coat, and the latter cannot be restored up to its original appearance without buffing.

      - If you want to change the color or renew the appearance of your PVC wrapped car, you will have to pay for removal of the old film, cleaning off the adhesive residue, the cost of vinyl removal starts from € 300, then you have to buy a new film and pay to wrap the whole car.

The above-mentioned technologies work, but they are obsolete. Preparation, time of application, price, maintenance, repair – nowadays, all of these parameters are lengthy, costly, impractical and outdated. Technologies evolve, solving the problems of car body protection and maintenance in an integrated manner.
