The
reason our Patented Protection System Outlasts and Outshines anything
else you've ever used:
Ordinary
car waxes have very little resistance to detergents and are easily
washed off with each car wash. On a hot day or car panel the wax
heats up and becomes soft allowing dust, industrial fallout and
any other pollutants floating in the air, to absorbed into the now
sticky wax. The end result is that the wax traps dirt and pollutants
next to the paint surface which is exactly what you don't want!
Each
washing further degrades and washes off more of the wax until the
paint is totally exposed to ultraviolet and infrared rays, acid
rain, pollution, insects, photolysis and other destructive elements.
The best known waxes (carnuba) are no match for the degradation
of the natural elements and man-made pollutants. Waxes must be constantly
applied every 5 to 8 weeks, to maintain a good protection.
What
about Silicones?
The
use of silicones as used in certain types of liquid polishes are
much more durable than wax polishes. Silicones were first introduced
in a liquid polish for autos, aeroplanes and boats in the mid 1950's.
They were easy to apply, had a greater depth of shine and endured
many times longer than waxes. Silicones had a lot going for them
but they had drawbacks that created nightmares for paint shops.
Silicones "crosslink" and drift" onto the painted
surfaces and penetrate into the pores of the paint. It is this penetration
that has given paint shops so much trouble. Every time the surface
is washed, it will drive the silicone deeper into the paint. It
will continue to "drift" down into the prior coats and
eventually into the body metal. As the silicones penetrate or drift
further into the painted surfaces, they leave the surface exposed
to the elements just as waxes do when they melt or are washed off
with a detergent.
Once
silicones have permeated the paint, the primer and the metal, a
painter cannot get his paint to properly adhere. The silicones make
the new paint "foam" which causes minute pockets of air
in the newly applied paint. This is called "entrapment."
As the paint is curing and the solvents are flashing off, the tiny
pockets of air will slowly work their way to the surface and create
what is called a "pin hole." Sometimes these entrapped
air pockets cannot reach the surface before the surface has cured,
and they become entrapped. Hence, three months later, the vehicle
is left out in the sun and bingo! The air bubble expands from the
heat; the paint softens, and out comes the entrapped air..creating
more pinholes! Depending upon the quality of the formulation,
silicones will hold their protection for approximately 6 to 12 months.
Their demise eventually comes from their ability to drift. They
will drift all the way to the base metal!
Colour
Shield
Colour
Shield is a revolutionary paint protection that uses high quality
and durable acrylic elements. In layman's language the formulae
is very expensive, high quality and a superbly engineered system.
Each ingredient has its own function and enhances each other in
the overall finished product.
The
conglomerate is designed to:
Fill
the paint pores with a unique PTFE plasticizer. This will form a
barrier that will prevent penetration of any other elements.
The
dimethoxysilydimethylaminoethylaminopropyl polymer and methyltrimethoxysilanes:
Allow the total formula to plate, bond and crosslink. This product
gives the depth of shine, durability, corrosion protection, spot
resistance and excellent detergent resistance.
Phenylpropylsilsesquioxanes:
Is the protector of all the others already in place. It is an acrylic
which when fully cured, is a hard durable, antistatic, transparent,
protective layer and gloss enhancer.
To
allow all this to happen a special patented surface preparation
is part of the system. In the preparation solution a "cationic"
(positive) surfactant is used to purge the pores of the surface
to be treated, and magnetically charge the surface in a positive
polarity. The pores are cleansed and charged and are ready to receive
the unique "anionic" or negatively charged molecules of
polytetrafluoroethylene. They are pulled into the pores magnetically
and held there while all of the protective chemicals have cross
linked, bonded and cured, locking the PTFE into the paint and preventing
drifting, fading and degradation of the paint for years to come.
Solar heat will expand the PTFE molecules to give even further protection.
The
above is a very technical explanation, but in simple terms, waxes
do not protect the vehicles finish nor do silicones. The Patented
Paint Protection is the only System that has been engineered to
solve all of the problems and preserve the painted surface for many
years to come and best of all you can apply
it yourself saving expensive application fees
