This will result in your car losing its shine and looking drab even before it actually gets old. Dressing up the car is fun and can bring additional glamour to it. But do you know that some of the decorative items and fun things you indulge in are actually ruining the car paint? 

Yes! Don’t wonder what they are. Read the blog to know which items are dangerous for the car paint and how you can protect the car’s exteriors from being all kinds of harmful substances. 

Washable Paint and Markers 

It might seem fun to use washable paint and markers on the car to draw something. But even the washable paint can cause some car paint to become coarse and discolor, especially when exposed to sunlight.

Permagard’s Reactive Polymer Protection Technology safeguards the car paint from such dangers. 

• It provides all-around protection for car paint
• It uses a corrosion protection mechanism 
• The paint protection is hydrophobic
• It is created using eco-friendly and biodegradable components  
• It provides a high gloss finish 
• Permagard’s Paint Protection is easy to clean and maintain 

Do you Know?
Writing on the dust coat on a car can cause scratches on the paint. Ever thought of it before? It’s a common joke to write something or draw a silly smile on a dusty car. But dust is rough as sandpaper and will etch the design on the car paint.

Coffee

Coffee and the sugar in it will harm the car paint by eating through the layers. Similar to eggs, coffee also has high acidic levels and can seep through the wax coating. If you are used to placing your coffee cup on the car’s roof on the bonnet, stop doing it immediately. 

Eggs 

Splattering someone’s car with an egg might be fun, but it can harm the car paint in more ways than one. The acidic nature of the egg eats away the car paint and gets baked into the pores of the surface. If you leave it long, a single egg can seep into the layers of the car paint and cause permanent damage. 

Interesting fact: Even wax coating is not immune to eggs.

You need something more powerful like Permagard’s Paint Protection that doesn’t let harmful particles spread across the surface. 

Permagard will stand as a barrier between the egg and the car paint until you wipe it away. 

Automatic Sprinklers 

Automatic sprinklers sure can be a fun way to spray water on the car. However, you need to stay as far as possible from them. Spraying water on car paint that has been exposed to sunlight and is nice and hot will cause water spots on the paint. 

The water spots can permanently settle into the car paint and cause discoloration. Even the most useful item on this earth- water, can be harmful to the car paint if you are not careful. 

Permagard’s Car Paint Protection is hydrophobic. It doesn’t let water particles get through the reactive polymer coating that covers the car paint. 

Dirty Cloth

Cleaning your car with any cloth your find is absolutely not okay. And if you haven’t washed it for a while or if it looks stained and dirty, don’t even think of wiping the car’s surface with it.

Anything other than the microfiber cloth will cause harm to car paint. It will create minute scratches on the surface and damage the car paint. You may not see the scratches, but they will be there. And the scratches will grow bigger and deeper as time passes.

Permagard’s microfiber cloth is:

• Super soft
• Has no edges to harm the car paint
• Provides better cleaning than paper towels
• Picks up dirt, tiny stones, and liquids from the care surface
• Can be put to use multiple times before it needs washing

Bird Droppings

Bird droppings are one of the most common and annoying things, aren’t they? The worst part is that they are out of our control. We cannot do much except clean the car afterward. Do you know that bird droppings are dangerous for car paint?

The poop contains Uric acid, which is corrosive and can harm the car paint. It can even damage car wax and seep through its barrier to harm the car paint.

You need something stronger and reliable like Permagard’s reactive polymer technology to prevent bird dropping from reaching the car paint. Permagard’s paint protection will form an unbreakable barrier between the poop and the car paint, not allowing it to spread over the surface.

Fuel Spills

Brake fluid is liquid gold for your car engine, but it is dangerous for your car paint. The fluid will eat away the paint before you know what had happened. The only saving grace here is that brake fluid is easy to wipe off with a paper towel.

But if you want to be sure that it doesn’t cause the least bit of harm to the car, use Permagard’s microfiber towel. Make sure to wash the car with car shampoo to remove all traces of brake fluid.

Permagard’s paint protection uses reactive polymer technology that prevents the fluid droplets from spreading over the surface. It stands as a protective layer between the car paint and the brake fluid to keep your car’s exterior safe from such dangerous attacks.

Fact: Brake fluid contains glycol that has a dual action mechanism that makes it efficient at attacking coatings. Infact, the chemical works like an aggressive solvent on car paint!!

Conclusion 

Apart from the items mentioned above, the inflammable fluids are also not suitable for car paint. Petrol is one such example. Don’t let these liquids anywhere near the car exterior. It’s risky for the car paint and can also result in explosions.

For everything else, there is Permagard’s Paint Protection. Be it UV rays, salt, acid rain, bird droppings, pollution, or just about anything, Permagard’s Paint Protection prevents it from reaching the car paint and damaging it. 

The post These Items/Decorations are Dangerous for Your Car Paint appeared first on Permagard India.

If you visit a car care center or a service center, you will realize that there are different ways to protect the car’s exterior. Teflon coating, ceramic coating, a paint protection film (PPF), etc., are the three regularly used methods. Ceramic coating and PPF have gained a lot of attention in recent times. Many car owners get confused between these two. 

So which one among these is the best? What is the best way to protect your car’s exterior? Let’s compare ceramic coating and paint protection film in detail.

What is Ceramic Coating? 

The ceramic coating comes in liquid form. It is a tiny bottle of liquid polymer applied over the entire outer surface of the car to append a protective layer to the car’s paint and keep it safe. The ceramic coating is hydrophobic, which means that it doesn’t like water and will not let it stay on the surface of the car. 

If there are any stains on the car, you’ll find it easy to wash them off the ceramic coating as it doesn’t let the particles seep through and stick to the paint. If done right, the ceramic coating can last for a decent time. However, it is also quite expensive. Depending on the car’s size and model, you will have to shell out anything between Rs. 10,000/- and Rs. 30,000/-. The price also varies based on the service center you approach for the job. 

What is Paint Protection Film?

Let’s talk about the paint protection offered by Permagard. The company has created a patented paint protection solution using advanced Reactive Polymer technology. 

The protective coating will safeguard the car’s exterior from UV rays, airborne pollutants, salts, alkaline, scratches, rust, dirt, and more. The coating uses a corrosion protection mechanism and is hydrophobic in nature. 

Permagard’s paint protection has gained fame as the best car coating because of its eco-friendly formula. The reactive polymer coating is biodegradable and doesn’t harm the car, the people who come in contact with it, and the environment. It is easy to maintain and clean. 

Take a microfiber cloth (which is also sold by Permagard) and wipe it in the car’s exterior in a single direction. That’s it. You will get rid of all the smudges, dirt, dust, and bacteria sitting on the surface of the coating. 

Also Read : Do You Really Need Paint Protection for Your Car?

Permagard’s reactive polymer coating needs to be applied only once. Unless you get a new paint job done on the car, you don’t need to go for another layer of the protective coating. And the biggest advantage is that it costs less than ceramic coating and lasts for a longer time. Just take your car to Permagard’s service center, and they will do the rest. You can also get the automotive window Film to protect the window glass from harmful UV rays and pollution. Permagard also provides a warranty on the reactive polymer coating for the car’s exterior. 

All in all, Permagard’s protective coating is a better option compared to ceramic coating or any other car paint protection techniques.

Ummm.. We’ll say Indians enjoy more than that.

Believe it or not, we Indians have special moments during winter season.

Getting smoke from mouth in chilly mornings to sipping hot tea at the start of the day and enjoying a cozy sleep at night with the warmest of blankets upon us, we make sure we get the most comfort during this season.

All Indians will even laugh and tell you how they used to draw a smiley on the glasses of cars during foggy mornings of winters, while they were kids. Glasses of those cars became the canvas for the naughty artists inside us.

And this brings us to a new blog specially dedicated to

“Car Care Tips during Winter Season in India”.

DID YOU KNOW?
Winter Season in India starts from around Mid-November, and lasts for about 3-4 Months till February. The Northern part of the country is coldest, with temperatures averaging from 10-15 degree Celsius. In North India, December and January are the coldest Months. In North India, even frost and fog is a common feature.

So Let’s Get Started.
India’s No.1 Car Care Brand, Permagard India brings you

“10 Super Easy Tips for Car Care during winters in India”.

1. Car Paint Protection:

The Shiny Gloss on a new car makes it look so beautiful. But with time, when the car exteriors get touched by the 4 seasons, it’s obvious that the paint undergoes drastic changes. These changes may not be visible instantly, but may show fading and rust on the paintwork, eventually.

Well, temperatures during winter mornings, dip low on scale. And fog and the morning dew may lead to formation of nitric and sulfuric acids. This formation spoils the exterior paint gradually.

Here, we’ll recommend you to wash or clean our car daily.

If you still want expert assistance then explore a good car exterior treatment, that gives your car’s painted surface a super hydrophobic efficiency.

You can even learn more about Permagard India’s Car Exterior Treatment here.

2. Tire Checkup:

Car Tires in winter need proper pressure and right inflation.

For this, we’ll recommend you to find about the recommended tire pressure from your car owner’s manual. As, it has been noted, that tire pressure drops with a drop in temperatures.

As a matter of fact, with a drop of 10 Degrees in Air Temperature, there’s a loss of 454 grams per square inch (psi) of tire pressure.

But that doesn’t means that you have to overinflate your tires. Over inflation will make the tires skid on roads while driving on slippery roads. And on the other hand, an underinflated tire will never give the required grip.

So, it’s better to reduce the tire pressure by a few per square inches (psi) to gain good traction while driving in wet conditions.

And it always pays to keep a spare tire ready in your car.

If you still want to know more about your car tire’s condition,

then please visit a good car care center near you.

3. Engine Checkup:

Common advice everywhere says that you should leave the car engine idle for a few minutes after starting it.

We’ll advise you to even check the engine oil and get it changed, if required.
As lower temperatures may even gum up the fluids and make the engine oil thicker.

So, getting an engine check-up performed in advance will ensure peace of mind, every time you are travelling to places with low temperatures.

BONUS FACT: You’ll find engine oils in market that are specially made for use during low temperatures.

4. Antifreeze/Coolant:

Coolant is a green colored liquid present in the engine. This liquid ensures that the temperature inside the engine is always regulated. In simple words, it makes sure that the car engine works at its best
during all seasons.

For instance, this coolant keeps the engine cool during summers.
And in winters, it works as an antifreeze that ensures the engine never freezes up or gets jammed.

So, we’ll advise you to maintain a right level of this coolant that takes care of your car’s engine and also regulates the antifreeze level during Indian winters.

5. Air Conditioner:

Car Air Conditioner helps in circulating the air inside the car and also helps in demisting the windscreen.

And there are more benefits of using Car AC during winters:

• Removes Moisture from air
• Helps keep windows and windshield clear of steam and frost
• Prevents Growth of mold and bacteria in the AC Vents

So, your car’s air con also plays the role of a dehumidifier during winters.

6. Lights:

Weak or flickering lights will give you a hard time during winters. Poor visibility issues may even lead to accidents.

You’ll even observe that cold weather creates fog and using high beam will reflect all that light and strain your eyes.

So, it’s recommended to use fog lamps and low beam of your car’s headlight.

And for safe & comfortable driving, please ensure that headlights, taillights, fog lamps, turn signals, brake lights, flashers and back up lights are all working in good condition.

Moreover, as a precautionary measure, check for burnt out bulbs, in both, inside and outside lights and get them replaced in advance for winter season.

7. Doors and Windows:

In winters, the Car Doors make a squeaky sound while opening and closing. Sometimes they’ll even get jammed.

For this issue, we’ll recommend you to apply a good lubricant on the door joints

And when it comes to car windows and windshields, we see the formation of fog, mist and smoke on them. This happens mostly during early mornings and evenings.

Also Read : Do You Really Need Paint Protection for Your Car?

This fog hampers the visibility for car driver.

Our experts always advise car owners to use lukewarm water
for cleaning the windows, windshields and wing mirrors.

Plus, the best idea is to always keep a microfiber car cleaning cloth ready with you, because of its’ super absorbent capacity that cleans these surfaces faster than other materials like tissue paper, newspaper, etc.

8. Battery Checkup:

If your car’s electrical systems do not function properly, then this problem is either due to battery damage or loose terminals and connections.

But the fact is, car battery has distilled water in it.
This fluid helps in smooth flow of current. If this distilled water goes thick or freezes, then the cells inside the battery may get damaged. So, its’ advisable to visit a good car mechanic and ask him to perform a check on battery health.

On the other hand, if the car battery is discharged, then you can get it back to fully charged state or get it replaced with a new and good quality car battery.

9. Brakes:

As the winters vary in whole of north India, so do the temperatures.
You’ll witness snow in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
But you’ll feel more of cold waves in Rajasthan and Delhi.

In these snowy and wet conditions, a car owner will have to use car brakes more often than usual while commuting by these wet roads.

Here our experts always recommend car owners to check the brake pads and brake calipers. So it’s better to check the fitness of brake pads.

And for brake callipers, we’ll suggest you to get them cleaned and greased at a Good Car care Center near you.

10. Cleaning:

We give topmost priority to car cleanliness and hygiene and that’s the reason why we saved this tip for the final leg of this blog.

Its’ only after Covid-19 that we realized the importance of hygiene for all our spaces.
So, we’ll recommend you to keep a DIY car sanitation kit ready with you at all times.

Although, this concept is quite new to India, but you’ll feel amazed to know that India’s No.1 Car Care brand, “Permagard India” has launched India’s First ever DIY Car Sanitation Kit that has 4 absolutely awesome products:

• 1 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth: A super absorbent car cleaning cloth that absorbs 8 times of its own weight. And its’ specially made for cleaning of car surfaces.
• 1 Hand Sanitizer Foam: To clean your hands quickly while stepping in and outside the car. Plus, its’ Non-alcoholic too.
• 10 Wipes: These are Cleaning Wipes that are again alcohol free and can be used on skin as well as surfaces.
• 1 Surface Disinfectant Spray: Comes with an easy to use trigger that sprays the disinfectant upon all surfaces and niche of the car interiors. And it goes a long way to protect the travelers against airborne contaminants and virus strains.

A new car in the showroom glitters and shimmers, attracting all your attention. But once you bring your car onto the road, it doesn’t take long for the shine to wear off. Before you realize it, your car will start to look old, even if it is still new. That doesn’t sound good, right?

How Car Paint Gets Damaged

How does the car paint end up dull, faded, and lifeless? Why does it happen when you are taking good care of your car? 

Below are some of the main factors that affect the beauty of our car’s exterior.  

Sunlight plays a major spoilsport. Oh, yes. How often have you left your car outside for hours at a stretch? The UV rays from the sunlight start to work their way into the car paint and weaken it. 

Pollution is another vital factor. Whether you are driving for hours in traffic or simply parking your car where vehicular fumes are common, your car paint is getting exposed to all sorts of chemical releases. That is hardly going to do it any good, right? 

Changing climatic conditions are also a reason. Yep. When seasons change, the temperatures change. And this affects the car paint in a bad way. 

Stains and dirt do their bit. Muddy roads, dirt, dust, rainwater, oils, grease, etc., can stain the car paint. When you exert pressure to wash off the tough stains, you remove a layer of paint with the stain. This will make your car look patchy and old. 

Cuts, nicks, and scratches cannot be avoided. You might be extremely alert while driving your car, but there is no guarantee that the others will do the same. Your car could end up with a nasty scratch without your fault. Ouch, right?

Need For Paint Protection

With so many things competing to harm your car paint, is there any reason to avoid going for paint protection? We think not. Car paint protection, in simple terms, is applying a protective coating over the car’s exterior. This will act as a shield to save the car paint from being harmed. The transparent protective coating will increase the lifespan of the car paint and make sure that the paint doesn’t lose its initial brightness. 

Of course, for that to happen, you will need to get paint protection immediately after you buy your car. 

So, does that mean you can’t get your old car paint protected? You sure can. Just talk to the service provider. 

We can see that you have another important question here. What kind of paint protection should you choose? Wax, ceramic, or polymer?

Also Read : Do You Really Need Paint Protection for Your Car?

A reactive polymer coating uses chemical bonding technology/ defence mechanism that repels pollutants, dirt, and dust while preventing the UV rays from reaching the paint. It also protects the paint from the scratches and marks by standing in the way. The reactive polymer coating is safe to use doesn’t cause any health hazards either.  

Permagard for Car Paint Protection

It is clear that reactive polymer painting is the best option for car paint protection. But where and how should you get it done? 

Permagard has recently started its operations in India and has been offering reactive polymer coating for paint protection to keep your car’s exterior safe, shiny, and new. You only need to get the polymer coating applied once. 

The company offers maintenance programs to customers and a warranty of 5 years to customers who sign up for the annual maintenance programs. The technicians from Permagard will deep clean the polymer coating and apply a fresh round of coat if you have got the car painted in any area. 

Is it going to be costly? No. Permagard’s polymer coating doesn’t like water, nor does it attract chemicals. It doesn’t need to be cleaned using harsh methods. Remember that Permagard is not wax or ceramic coating. It is a reactive polymer coating and doesn’t need regular waxing or polishing. It is easy to clean and maintain. So, naturally, over time, you will be spending fewer amounts on maintenance. 

Conclusion

Living in a world with pollution, harsh sunlight, and dangers, you definitely need paint protection for your car. So, you want for your car to look like it’s been through a hurricane, right? Visit Permgard’s service centers or check out the website for more information about reactive polymer coating for car paint protection.

It’s during monsoons that your car bears the brunt of rains that bring a lot of unfavorable particles on the car interior and exterior surfaces of your car.

Now, your car needs extra protection as there are high chances these surfaces will

• Receive unwanted marks,

• Suffer from corrosion and even

• Go through wear and tear from these rains

Following are the Prime issues and there easy solutions

1. Car Paint Protection

At first glance, it looks so good that your car is getting washed by the rains.

But the truth is, rainwater itself is contaminated.

The water drops get mixed with airborne particles and dust, turning the rains into acid rains. This harmful mix up is although not visible, but as soon as the rain stops, these droplets start getting deep onto the surface.

And when the surface gets dried by the moisture of air or even a partial sunlight, then these contaminants start their work. They:

• Damage your car’s paint

• Reduce the shine of car’s body

• Scars and Spots emerge

Even more happens, while you are driving.

The mud and grime that gets thrown on the exterior while driving through water clogged areas, are prime things that directly impact the doors and the metal body exposed outside. When left unattended, these mud spots may even start corrosion of the car’s body.

Easy Solution:

• We recommend you to apply a globally recommended and approved RPT based world class exterior paint protection product by Permagard India. Tested in extreme condition it saves the car’s exterior from corrosion and repels airborne contaminants.

• Please don’t use car cover during rainy seasons when you are parking in the open. These covers get stuck to the car coating and may even damage the car paint and body

• Whenever leaving for work in your car, its beneficial to clean your car with a soft cloth that removes the dust and dirt from the car’s body

2. Car Floor Mat

It’s all about your feet.

Be it your shoes, or sandals, or slippers. The dirt gets stuck on wet and muddy shoes and the moment you step in the car your shoes rest on the floor carpet laid below your feet.

Simply saying, water and dirt:

• Damage the carpets and flooring of your car cabin

• Cause foul smell inside

• Gives space to germs and bacteria

Easy Solution:

• Use Old Newspapers. Spread these newspapers on the floor above the mat. Newspapers absorb water very quickly and are cheap to buy too. And replace these newspapers every week.

• It is advisable to use fabric mats in place of rubber mats, during the rainy season.

3. Car Cabin

Your car cabin is the home of your car where you spend a good amount of time.

You stop at the traffic signal and there are toxic fumes getting in. And even you are accompanied by your family and friends for a journey during which time you carry a lot of your objects.

During monsoon, the interiors of your car are also equally exposed to moisture, water and germs.

It happens while you enter your car with wet clothes and you also use the dashboard and seats to put belongings that are drenched due to rain. This causes:

• High Level of Moisture

• Foul Smell of belongings

• Germ Build up in the air you breathe inside your car

• Bacteria on Steering wheel

• Common cold and flu to the driver and people inside

• Eye irritation and skin irritation due to growth of mold and mildew inside the car

Easy Solution:

• Use a strong Antimicrobial Shield, like that of Permagard. This protective shield is capable of pushing out 800 microscopic organisms. Even better, it eradicates viruses and bacteria with 99.99% efficiency. Plus, it fights against SARS based viruses too. This ultra strong protective car coating lasts long.

• Put a cover on the belongings you carry in the car. Having objects covered up, protects the interiors from getting moisture and foul smell.

• Clean your interior cabin once every week. Major focus should be given on the dashboard, seats, steering wheel, etc.

• Cover your seats with towels, as these soak up the wetness that’s there on your clothes.

4. Wipers and Washers

Wiper blades of cars get onto a nonstop duty during monsoons.

The windshield of a car gets a high amount of flowing water, dust particles, tree leaves, etc. during rains. And to its rescue are the wipers and washers deployed at the front.

The rubber lining of wiper blades wears away with time and use, and the washers that work in sync are supplied the fluid by the wiper washer bottle. The role of wiper washer bottle is equally important to ensure that the driver gains a spotless view of the windshield glass.

Frequent accidents and injuries during monsoon take place majorly because of blurred line of sight and the fog that gets formed on the windshield.

Easy Solution:

• Add a small quantity of mild detergent or soap solution along with water, in the wiper washer bottle. It helps a lot during this season, and provides a clean windshield for better visibility. What’s important is, you must keep this bottle topped up with wiper fluid, during the monsoons.

• Get your wiper blades checked. If they are leaving marks during cleaning, then it’s advisable to get them changed.

5. Car Tyres

Source: Carandbike

Tyre have the power to make or break your game during the rainy season.

It’s because tyres lose pressure during the rainy season.

And the grip of tyres ensures your safety while driving. Let us tell how.

On the tyres what you see as a rubber pattern on the circumference, is known as the Tyre Tread.

This tread comes into contact with the road or the ground and provides:

• A Smooth Driving Experience

• High Directional Stability, and

• Less Rolling Resistance

That’s the reason why any improper alignment in the tyre tread can lead to major mishaps.

On the other hand the air pressure in your car tyres, gains utmost importance during rains.

Easy Solution:

• Take a 5 rupee coin and insert it in the middle of the tyre tread. Now, if the lower rim is not visible, then it means, the tyre is in good shape. And if the lower rim is fully visible and doesn’t go in, then it’s time to get a tyre checkup.

• Keep your car tyres inflated with the right air pressure. Remember, you must get all the 4 tyres inflated.

• Check your spare tyre that you keep at the back. It’s better to get it inflated too. And, keep your spares ready for any unforeseen emergency.

6. Battery and Fuse

Source: Autocar India

Batteries play a big role when it comes to using AC, wipers and lights of cars during this season.

When driving through areas with deep waters, the electric components can experience shorting and in some cases they may get permanently damaged.

Electrical connections and opening like battery terminals are highly vulnerable to corrosion, when touched by water.

And when it comes to wires and fuses, those wires that have got even a little cut will come into contact with water and as a result they are subjected to a short circuit.

Believe us, getting stranded when it’s raining outside will irritate you.

Easy Solution:

• Get your battery checked by the battery repair mechanic. And also check the duration for which the battery was in use. If this duration has crossed 3 years, then it’s’ time for a new battery.

• Also get the wires in the fuse and circuit checked and repaired in advance.

7. Headlight and Tail lights    

Source: Floris Andréa on Unsplash

Visibility is an issue you’ll face during monsoons.

Even if you own big headlamps, they too shall need an inspection.

India has got a diversity of routes- narrow lanes to rocky roads and super expressways. All of them face multiple issues when it rains incessantly.

So, at any time when you cross these routes during rain showers, you are likely to get issues of fog formation on your headlamps, turn indicators and tail lights.

More so, sometimes an undetected leak or opening, gives way to water getting inside the glass panel of lights.

• Cracks in the headlamp and

• Fogging are pertinent issues

• Heavy rains and overcast clouds hamper the visibility.

Easy Solution:

• Check for the leaks and cracks, on the glass of headlights, tail lights and indicators. Get them repaired or replaced as the case may be.

• Also check the brightness of lights every time you leave for a trip.

8. Underbody

Underbody of a car is exposed to most wear and tear.

FYI: Underbody  is that part of the car which is underneath the main body of the car. Chassis, tail pipe, drive shaft, air outlet pipe, etc. are some of the components that form the underbody.

Muddy water, stones, grease, grime and potholes are the prime sources of particles that get stuck to the underbody of a car.

These unwanted particles give way to corrosion and rust formation of the underbody components. In the long run, car maintenance proves to be pretty expensive for you.

Easy Solution:

• Ask the repair service firm to check for rust and corrosion of the underbody parts. And also ask them to perform checks for any breaks or cracks down there.

• Get the underbody washed and treated by expert mechanic

9. Braking System

Slippery roads and car brakes aren’t good friends.

Brakes lose a bit of efficiency while plying on wet roads, and when left unchecked before the monsoon starts playing its game, you and your car will experience many unexpected twists.

Some of these twists may even land you up at a hospital.

Your car may even be skidding on turns when the brakes are not in proper shape. Please don’t think of it to be another drift straight from the movie Tokyo Drift.

Easy Solution:

• Start your car and let it be in this mode for 3-4  minutes. Then use your brakes to assess the strength of the grip your brake has to offer.

• You can also get your brakes checked by an expert mechanic asap.

10. AC Cleaning

Source: Cars24

Often the moisture inside your car air conditioner leads to fungus growth.

AC comes in handy during the rainy season, because it helps in defogging of windows and windshield. This gives you a better visibility and you get to assess the distance of cars ahead of you and the cars behind you.

Easy Solution:

• Its advisable to use Antimicrobial Shield by Permagard, that stops the growth of and pushes out pathogens, micro organisms, fungi and bacteria from the AC

• AC Vents and AC Filter need cleansing. So, an arguably good option is to ask the mechanic to perform AC cleaning and testing during the car servicing.

PERFORMS MAGIC WITH SCIENCE

The mechanism of antimicrobial technology continually disrupts the germination and multiplication of microorganisms and simulates on the cellular level that contaminate a treated surface. Protein, cell membrane, DNA and internal systems of a microbe dies as and when multi-modal attacks on it. This advanced technology, when comes in contact with the product it ensures to kill the microorganisms in every possible way.

Consequently, the disrupt of pathogens can be done by antimicrobial technology by the following ways:

Protein Damage: A microbe carries its essential functions in proteins. Hence, the antimicrobial agents attack on this.

Cell Disruption: The membrane of a microbe is instantly damaged by antimicrobial agents, resulting in the decline of critical nutrients.

Oxidative Damage: The internal system of a microbe is damaged by increasing the level of oxygen by antimicrobial agents

DNA Disruption: The growth and reproduction of a microbe can be avoided when antimicrobial agents interfere with the genetics.

LONGEVITY AND TYPES OF VIRUSES IT FIGHT AGAINST

After developing an unwelcome environment especially on plastics coating and textile for the pathogens like bacteria, mold, virus, mildew, Stapylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci,  Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Legionella pneumophila, Vibrio Parahaemolyticus and other microorganisms, antimicrobials guards your car from staining, bad odours and premature degradation.

In the period of this pandemic, one and only weapon against it is the safe and clean hygiene. We have to start by giving hygiene paramount importance. Keeping your hands clean and your mouth covered by a face mask is the minimum that is in our hands. All the objects we touch or people around us can have a risk of contagion.

 However, what about your precious ride, your car? Have you thought about it? Do you know your near and dearly owned possession is just lying in your garage exposed to these uninvited guests? But, are you forgetting the car sanitization completely?

Its time that you start keeping hygiene at par, even for your motor car. Use all the necessary car sanitization services that are available. Permagard’s Anti-microbial shield will help fight these viruses.

Here, we have summed up a few tips to take you through this pandemic safe and sound:

It is advised by almost all the health advisory around the world to maintain social distance and stay home to curb the spread of the virus. However, there can be a few exceptions where getting out of the house is the only way. One exception can be where you have to get out to buy some necessary grocery items for your family. While the other can be, if you fall under the essential service provider like the transporter or grocery vendor or police force etc. only under such circumstances people can leave their houses.

But the commutes that these people use are equally harmful if not sanitized. The car sanitizer liquid that is available in the market will help you fight this virus. For complete car coating you can also order Anti-microbial shield and keep your car clean and bacteria free.

The expert advice to use cloths and disinfectants specially manufactured for this purpose. These products are made available online. Make sure to grab these products to keep yourself away from hazardous viruses.

Now let’s talk about the surface that needs to be cleansed with this car sanitizer liquid that you just bought. The experts suggest following a certain process while cleaning your car. The first being, cleaning, followed by sanitizing and disinfecting.

The first step cleans the dust from the surface but does not kill any germs or bacteria. Killing these germs is our actual priority. Then comes the process of lowering the number of germs by killing the bacteria. And then comes to the last stage of using the chemicals to get rid of the waste completely.

The car engineers and mechanics tell us to use a microfibre cloth for this process of cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces. Make sure to spray the disinfectant and car sanitizer directly onto the surface. Then wipe it with the microfibre cloth recommended earlier.

We suggest cleansing the steering wheel every time you take your car outside for a ride. Because the steering console is more likely to be contaminated as it is way close to your face, and you lay your hands directly on them. Along with the steering console, do not forget the wiper and headlight stalls below it. They are also constantly touched by the driver.

The shift gear lever is the second most highly touched point in your car after the steering. The shift gear is also something one should take care of. As soon as you return home from buying your grocery and finishing your service at work, make sure to first get some car sanitization service. Or if that ain’t possible, you can use these tips to do the car sanitization on your own.

The next part of the car that has the probability of being infected is the door and its knob. You know it is that part of the car that is never left untouched. Along with this part, the display screens, air conditioner vents, radio controls, voice controls, navigation, cupholders, etc.

Things to avoid while cleaning

We cannot emphasize enough, but we tell you once again that, do not use any kind of bleach or hydrogen peroxide on any parts of the car. This might fade up your interiors or damage them severely beyond repair. This can be a costly affair, and obviously, we do not want such extra work right now.

Also, do not use the “blue glass cleaner” on the interior. When this cleaner comes in contact with the dashboard and when subjected to heat can cause it to get all sticky. Furthermore, using this glass cleaner on the display screen can also be a bad decision. At all costs, avoid these points.

Do not scrub too hard when you apply the car sanitizer liquid on the surface that it loses all its shine and newness. Yes, it is true that soap and water will help you get rid of the coronavirus bacteria. However, if you apply too much of soap and water, it will completely ruin the surface coating and dyes. This is some extremely important tip one should not miss out on.

The post Tips On How to Clean, Disinfect, and Sanitize Your Car During Coronavirus Crisis appeared first on Permagard India.

Each of us probably would already know how to wash our hands and stay clean. But aren’t we forgetting something? What about our dearly owned cars? What about the car cabin that has remained unsanitized? What if the car cabin is contaminated with some deadly virus like this one? It is time that we understand our duty to disinfect our cars from the virus?

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare advises each one of us to stay at home and help fight the spread of Coronavirus. We can become heroes by just playing our part of duties. However, some of us might feel the need to get out of the house for some grocery shopping or someone who falls under the essential service provider list. Such people have to leave their houses and play their role as a part of society.

And hence, when these people return home in their cars, it can also be contaminated just like their hands. Due to this reason you have to clean and sanitize your car. The car sanitization services are provided by us here at Permagard as well for complete car coating. Although, some of you might not be able to avail of these services at this point in time and hence much sanitize their cars at home.

Here we have mentioned few tips to clean and sanitize your car:

• The first and the foremost step towards cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing your car is identifying the frequently touched points in the car cabin. The car cabin is considered to be at high risk of contagion as it is highly exposed to human touch. The exteriors of the car also need to be cleaned, especially the high touchpoints. It is obvious that you give due care to the doorknobs.

• Let us list down the points that need to sanitized right now

1. Doorknobs
2. Windows
3. Interior door handles
4. Door pockets
5. Seatbelts and adjust buttons
6. Entire steering console including horn
7. Headlight and wiper stalks
8. Dashboard
9. Power button
10. Ventilation vents
11. Cupholder
12. Hand brakes
13. Radio controls and display screen
14. Keys of the car
15. Seat pockets
16. Oil cap
17. Bonnet lid
18. Do not forget to sanitize your car keys too. You never know on what surfaces it was kept. After identifying the frequently touched points, it is time to know about the materials to be used for disinfecting the car. One thing is sure that water can be used on any surface but in small amounts. Leather cannot handle too much water. It may get damaged easily. Initially, you can use a brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust.
19. You can get a microfibre cloth and a 70% isopropyl alcohol to disinfect the interiors of the car. Get some specialized car sanitizer liquid so as to avoid any damage to the surface. Get some hand sanitizers, too, to be used once the cleaning is complete. Take due to care when it comes to cleaning this surface. Make sure the car sanitizer does not go in your eyes, which can cause harm and can also make you visit the emergency room. Also, get yourself a plastic glove that will keep your hands safe, if not, you can use the hand sanitizer.

• Once you have gathered all the necessary equipment for cleaning, you are good to go. Get the car sanitizer on the microfibre towel and gently rub the surface you think can be at the risk of contagion. Do not use excessive car sanitizer on any interior surface, especially the wood and the leather. These surfaces are highly sensitive and are reactive to substances. These surfaces need high care and maintenance.
• Use a toothbrush to sanitize most of the surface as there are tiny places where the dust and bacteria might lay their nest. Hence using a brush is also recommended. If you do not have any specialized car sanitizer liquid, then you can also use surface cleaner. But do not spray it directly on the surfaces, first, spray it on the cloth and with the same cloth wipe the interiors.
• If there is no disinfectant available at the shop, then you can have a mixture of soap and water instead of the disinfectant. Do not add too much soap to the water. The milder the soap, the better it is for the car.

Some tips at a glance:

• Lockdown leaves ample time for us to deep clean the car and the car cabins. Make sure you do it thoroughly.
• After you clean and sanitize the whole car, do not forget to wash your own hands and sanitize yourself of any potential dirt or bacteria.
• Remember COVID-19 tends to survive longer on hard surfaces
• Additionally, clean and sanitize the passenger seats as well.
• Do not use excess isopropyl alcohol; use an ample amount of it that will evaporate immediately.
• Do not panic if you miss out on anything, as the instructions about COVID-19 keeps changing daily

Permagard understands your concern and hence has to solve the issues related to car sanitization. We have summed up six ways to keep your car clean and disinfected from deadly viruses like COVID-19.

Materials and equipment required to sanitize your car

One of the most important things every person should note down is not to use any type of home remedy for cleaning or disinfecting your cars. Not all remedies fall under the pretext of materials to be used for cleansing the car. Only a few technical things are needed to be memorized and taken care of while cleaning and sanitizing your precious possession.

Do not use any cloth that is available to clean the interiors of the car. There is special cloth for wiping off dust and leaves no scratches at all, called a microfibre cloth. This cloth has a minute mesh-like structure that collects off dust easily. Although, only the use of microfibre won’t help you get through this deadly crisis.

Do not use the bleach and any ammonia-based liquid on the surface of the interiors. It can damage the dashboards as the plastic is very sensitive to such products. Upon exposure to heat, the surface can get all sticky and lose all the shine and newness it has. Use authorized car sanitizer liquid only. The ones recommended by the experts or the manufacturer are to be used. Permagard will assist you in getting the best Car Sanitization Service as they already have the best Copolymer coating and Antimicrobial shield products in the market.

The Copolymer Car Coating is the one that is used for your car cabin, especially to protect the upholstery. The formula used to make this coating is purely biodegradable and nontoxic. This Car Coating will protect your car cabin from being faded, acid rain, insect etching, tree sap, dust, salt, hard water deposits, scuff marks, etc. The benefits of the coating are very surprising as not all coating might offer you the same.

 There is no chance of disappointment as we are committed to providing the customer with the best quality services around the country.

Here are four ways to keep your car safe from Coronavirus

Wash the exteriors of the car

Before you start washing the exteriors of the car, make sure to wear some gloves to protect your hands from unwanted dust and viruses. Then use a high-pressure water jet cleaner to clean off the dirt from the car. If you do not have the same, you can also use a garden hose too. Just make sure you get each and every corner cleaned to proceed further. Do not park the car directly under the sun, or else the surface will have some watermarks that can ruin your car paint.

Use vacuum cleaner regularly

The dust attracts easily onto your car and settles down that attracts unwanted fungi and bacterias. This is one of the simplest and the best way to reduce infection from your car. While you are doing this process, do not forget to scrub the car floor like the pedals, carpets, lever, floor mats, etc. Use soap water to deep clean your car seats that are at high risk of infection. Fabric seats are more likely to soak up bacterias and viruses to cause infection. Hence due care of the seats is an essential thing.

Sanitize all the frequently touched points

Identify the frequently touched points on the car and also inside the car. The high touchpoints have the possibility to be contaminated from the touch of the passenger or the driver. The high touchpoints in a car like the doorknobs, window buttons, steering console, wiper stalks, shift gear lever, dashboard, display screens, radio controls, ventilation vents, seat belts, etc. must be sanitized first. If these high touchpoints are sanitized, then the risk of infection is highly reduced.  Sanitizing these parts can be challenging, and hence Permagard centers are here to help our customers in these difficult times.

Sanitize the HVAC unit

The HVAC unit is nothing but the heating, ventilation, and air conditioner unit of the car. This unit is responsible for circulating air in the car and, therefore, can be contaminated too. In the current situation like this one, it becomes essential to deep clean the whole unit. Try cleaning the air filters too before the summer season sets in. It is high time that we start taking the outbreak of Coronavirus seriously and sanitize our cars. Use experts recommended car sanitizer liquid to disinfect your precious car.

In times like this, we are the saviours of ourselves and our families. You have the chance to be the heroes by just playing your role of staying at home. If experts recommended car sanitizer is not available at home, then you can also use soap water alternatively. But, if that does not as planned, you can always take your car to the nearest Permagard outlet once this lockdown comes to an end. You can avail of the highly effective Copolymer coating and Antimicrobial shield all at once. We hope that you are at home and safe. We got this.

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.
