It can lead to long-lasting stains and scratches on the surface of your car. It can also cause corrosion of the car’s exterior paint over some time. This makes the shine of your car dull. The paint may also chip off and can cause further damage.

Car owners are increasingly opting for protective products or films for protecting car paint. People are considering reactive polymer, car waxing, polishing, and paint protection films, vinyl wraps and ceramic or nano paints to protect the colour and gloss of their cars.

Car dealers are selling out a variety of car detailing products with lavish promises. This gives rise to a significant question. Which out of all these available products is best for your car?

We will discuss three main protection measures for car paint-

• Reactive polymer
• Car Wax
• Car films

Let us see if we can conclude the usage and vitality of any one of them.

Reactive Polymer

Reactive Polymer is a crystal-clear coating that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint to become a new surface. A reactive Polymer coating, which is very popular these days, is a clear coat that includes a liquid polymer. The polymer forms a chemical bond with the car’s factory paint. Once coated, it cannot be removed by any chemicals.

The polymer coating can protect the car from scratches, dirt, and contaminants. Polymer coating also doesn’t have any side-effects on the original paint. The resulting protective layer offers an ultra-smooth, high gloss, and resistant coating.

This coating acts as a shield between harmful contaminants and the paint. Since it combines the coating with paint by a strong chemical bond, the protection stays strong even under harsh circumstances.

Here are some points that support the notion of reactive polymer being the best car coating treatment. It can be applied to both new or old car, but it is recommended to apply to the newly bought cars.

Advantages

• These polymers are Super Hydrophobic in nature. Their water-repellant nature reduces cleaning time. It also extends times between needed washes.
• They are UV resistant and thus preserve the colour from fading and oxidation.
• Reactive Polymer extends paint life, as it covers the paint with a protective layer.
• It increases the curb appeal of your car and maintains a high gloss finish.
• If done correctly, the protective coating can last the lifetime of the car.

Car wax

Car waxes are solid hydrocarbons in the form of waxes. Most of the waxes are in solid form, so you cannot directly apply them to your car. Moreover, car wax can literally destroy expensive cars. If you own a luxury car, it would be better to skip the application of car wax. Instead, reactive polymer technology preserves the surface of luxury cars.

Disadvantages

• Wax melts at high temperature thus dust and dirt particles get easily stuck, damaging the paint.
• Wax builds up over time on the car’s surface layer by layer. Over time, scratches dull the exposed finish. 
• The length of protection is not more than 6 weeks.

Paint Protection Films or PPFs

Paint Protection Film or a PPF is a urethane film made from a thermoplastic compound. You can apply it to painted surfaces of a new or used car to protect the paint or can even be applied to the exterior portion of the car. Anywhere if you suspect the possibility of scratches or stains and abrasions, you can get the PPFs applied.

This increases the amount of time you spend on paint protection. Every time you forget to cover a portion of paint with a PPF film, it can get damaged. On the other hand, reactive polymer proposes a more convenient scheme. Paint protection films are a rather outdated method of paint protection.

Disadvantages

• Professional vehicle wraps come at a very expensive price.
• In addition, the films can start wearing after 2 to 3 years when subjected to strong sun, debris, and weather.
• The PPFs or the Vinyl wraps are good for cars with factory paint jobs. If you have repainted your car or it has a corroded surface, the vinyl wrap may not adhere well and will lead to wrinkling, or and bubbling.

Everybody wants to keep his or her cars shiny and glossy like the new. Considering all the pros and cons, the PFFs and car wax do not stand a chance against the latest reactive polymer technology. The polymer coating, when used, lasts longer than any wax.

It is more scratch-resistant and has superior UV protection. Even the strong rays of the Sun will not be able to oxidize the car paint under extreme conditions. Reactive Polymer coatings also have great hydrophobic strength, which is not present in the films or waxes.

To conclude, whatever be your requirements, you can always rely on Permagard. We lead the world in the technology of paint protection. Our Polymer Coating will prevent paint oxidation from the sun and other elements. Thus, it will go a long way in protecting your car from rust and general deterioration.

The Permagard treatment for your car uses an eco-friendly reactive polymer that is suitable for all types of vehicles. You can directly apply it to your car’s surface. It provides durable protection and maintains a long-lasting shine on any painted surface. These are some of the factors that reinforce the consideration of Reactive Polymer technology as the best car coating treatment.

So, now you can imagine how many germs there can be inside a car. Most of the people generally go for a car wash, but it only cleans the exterior of the car and not the interior. To clean the interior of the car you need to understand which places are attracting more germs. The easy solution of using a car freshener might work but soon the germs will increase and might lead to sickness of the driver or the daily traveler. A more effective and convenient method of interior car germ protection is to use Permagard’s, Antimicrobial Shield.  For cleaning maximum germs, conveniently, follow the points given below-

1. Air Conditioner

These places are very small and hard to clean.  The majority of people don’t put in the effort to clean their AC compartment and thus it remains dirty for a long period of time. These places start to accumulate germs for a long period of time gradually. The most essential thing with this is that it gives air inside the car that contains germs and when people use the air conditioner, they close the windows of the car.  As a result, new germs particles enter, and the old ones are trapped leading to a lot of germs inside your car. The very small circuit of the air conditioner makes it very difficult to clean. 

Most of the people keep the car freshener above the air conditioner. In all fairness, your car also gives efforts to clean this area if you want to be with fewer germs.  The air conditioners can also be clean if the owner uses appropriate methods to keep them clean. The car germ protection scheme by Permagard is a viable choice.  Permagard’s Antimicrobial Shield eliminates the germs extensively.

2. Seats

The most used feature of the car is the seats. The number of people sitting on these seats may range from a few to a hundred.  The seats get dirty as they attract more germs over time. The seats are generally full of pieces of food, hair, clothes or any other thing that the user could not fit in the back. The seat is so intensely used that it is covered all over with germs. The leaning place of the seat to the place where people sit.

The carwash cleans the seats and even dries it but it is like unfinished work. The best way to kill germs from your seat is to wash it and lay it outside to get sun rays. Exposing the seats to sunshine after washing them will kill most of the germs. The other way is to use seat cover that you can change periodically according to your wish. While all the suggested methods work, a more effective way is to use Permagard’s copolymer technology for car interior treatment. The Copolymer coating uses invisible guard forces that ‘bead up’ and ensures that slipped liquid doesn’t get absorbed into the seats. The bottom line is to understand that interior protection is a necessity.

3. Other car interior parts

The places that will have the most amounts of germs are the places people touch the most. The door handles are touched frequently by many different people. The controls are also used by the driver to guide the car. All these places accumulate a lot of germs as it is not only touched by you but also many other people that might have not used the car just touched the door handle. The door handles might not be able to remain clean for a long period of time. You have to ensure their cleanliness.

After cleaning the door handle you have to use it to let yourself in the car. So, still, the best way to kill germs in these areas is to wash the door handles regularly. The door handles can be cleaned with a tissue wipe.   The majority of people use soapy water to clean the door handles. However, a more advanced method of antimicrobial car interior protection is to get the Polymer coating by Permagard applied inside your car. It is an effective way to get rid of germs, considering the implementation of the ‘bead up’ mechanism. Also, it enables us to maintain car hygiene conveniently and within a short amount of time. The controls and buttons can be kept clean by wiping the area more often.

Conclusion

When you own a car you want it to keep clean and smell fresh. But normally maintaining a car and cleaning it on a daily basis is not possible. Still, there are a few ways that you can use to keep your car clean and smell fresh. There are now scented germs killing fragrances that can be used in the car. The other way is to brush off the seats and steering wheel before you are going to use your car. The people who don’t want to do all these things for the cleanliness of the car can just use a vacuum inside the car and blow away all the germs.

All the above methods work but if you want one solution for all the cleaning purposes of your car interior, the best option is Permagard. The Antimicrobial Shield technology ensures the absence of germs from your car and maintains the hygiene inside it. Being a scientifically sound and effective mechanism, Permagard’s Germ Protection technology is by far the most convenient method to keep your car clean. The main reason for keeping the car clean is that smells fresh and very comfortable to use and chances of getting sick while using your own car decrease. So, keep the car clean and wash the car at a scheduled time always.
