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.

What Is Reactive Polymer Technology?

Reactive polymer technology is a revolutionary technology that has been a part of Permagard for decades now. However, acknowledgment about this product is quite unheard in India as people are still not familiar with such technology and seem to be still using older methods or products when it comes to protecting their priced possessions.

Permagard aims to provide the best to its customers for all vehicles such as aircraft, yachts, and cars. We have aviation coating of excellent grade and the most advanced technology in the world. This is in order to produce the best so that we can satisfy each and every customer. Our materials are tested in some of the most trustworthy and well-equipped labs in the world.

The high performance, environmentally safe protective coatings have been engineered to enhance and maintain a new-like appearance. Permagard gives you the feel of a new vehicle even if it has been a while. Further, it has been trusted to protect painted surfaces that are some of the most expensive machines in the world. It features a patented coating which is the most advanced corrosion protection technology available today, protects the vehicles from various adverse effects, climates & pollutants.

How Does Reactive Polymer Technology Work?

Permagard’s “Reactive” polymer coating is applied by an oscillating (buff like) machine to the painted surface filling in the pores (valleys) of the paint creating a flat and uniform surface.

Its plasticized coating called ‘Reactive’ polymer because of the locking reaction that takes place at a molecular level deep inside the porous paint surface, bonding and locking the coating to the paint. The coating then begins to cure initiating a covalent reaction (bonding and tightening of the plastic molecules) in effect “laminating” the Permagard coating to the painted surface. This process occurs at a molecular level, locking the plastic molecules tightly over the painted surface completely encapsulating the paint with a plasticized protective barrier.

Once the coating has cured completely, it will harden, further helping to resist environmental damage such as bird droppings, abrasive chemicals and paint pollutants that attack a painted surface if not protected. For added protection, Permagard coatings are infused with the state of the art UV inhibitors which act like sun cream in deflecting the harmful UV rays away from the paint and back into the atmosphere. The UV inhibitors are locked into position within the durable polymer matrix.

Permagard uses environment-friendly components that are safe to use and can prevent rust and stain on your vehicles during all possible times. The technology proves to be very efficient and once the surface is treated it becomes very easy to clean. All it requires is a damp cloth to clean the surface and maintain the finish.

Benefits Of Reactive Polymer Coatings

Polymers constitute almost everything in today’s world and it is a combination of the simplest to the most complex of the substances. Permagard high-performance environmentally safe protective coatings have been engineered to enhance and maintain a like-new appearance for the lifetime of the paint and it provides a stabilizing, gloss-producing curing process and corrosion protection and hydrophobic efficiency.
