Matte & Satin Paint Protection
More and more manufacturers are now offering matte and satin paint finishes, such as BMW Frozen finishes and the Mercedes-Benz Designo Magno matte paint line. Unfortunately, as fashionable as these finishes are, there are a few drawbacks when trying to keep up with the appearance.
Satin and matte paints are susceptible to staining from greasy fingerprints, bugs, traffic film, bird droppings, conventional car shampoos, waxes and sealants, which can ruin the appearance by degrading the matte satin effect. Due to the paint’s high surface area, it can not be polished using standard methods as practised on usual car paint finishes. In fact, there is no solution yet on the market to correct stains and scratches, meaning the only solution to keep the finish in top condition is to protect it from the start.
Using various professional, premium-grade products that are designed explicitly for satin matte finishes. It is now possible to clean these finishes and offer durable protection through a specially formulated ceramic coating and Xpel Stealth Paint Protection Film (PPF).
We have a solution to maintain the matte/satin appearance without affecting its unique finish.
Ceramic Protection Detail
The “Ceramic Protection Detail” is our entry-level protection package for matte/satin paint finishes and is designed to improve the overall appearance of your car with a slick finish.
The car undergoes a thorough multi-stage wash process, including a full clay treatment to remove bonded contaminants such as tar and tree sap, resulting in a smooth and contaminant-free paint finish. A pre-cleaner is applied, which further prepares the paint, leaving a perfect surface for the ceramic protection to be applied.
The ceramic coating applied is not only impervious to water, but it also chemically bonds to the surface, preventing grime from sticking. This will prevent dirt from becoming ingrained in the paint, making the car easier to clean.
