4a) What about Water restrictions?

No problem, in the application instructions there is a water reduced method which will require no more than 6 litres.

5) Will Colour Shield remove oxidation?

Colour Shield does remove minor scratches and swirls but will not remove oxidation. It preserves paint. If your paint is already oxidized you will need to remove it using a fine grade cutting compound before applying Colour Shield.

6) Does it work on plastic, glass, or chrome?

It is safe to use Colour Shield on most painted plastic parts. We DO NOT recommend you use it on black rubberized body parts or trim. Colour Shield works extremely well on polished alloy, chrome or stainless steel surfaces as well as plexi-glass.

7) How long will Colour Shield last?

The Paint Protection System will last 5 years on a new car and 3 years on a used car with good paint.

8) How is Colour Shield different? From the paint protection sold by dealers on new cars at
the time of closing at anywhere from $300 to $599?

The main difference is the longevity of the product when compared to standard waxes. You will save yourself a lot of time and money with just one application. Car dealers prepare every car to give a maximum shine in the showroom. They do this with either standard waxes or various types of paint sealants to give the car a high gloss shine.

At the time of closing, car dealers will try to sell you a "premium" paint protection at anywhere from $300 to $599. These "premium" paint sealants make the car look really great for about a month and then the waxes begin to wash off and the paint starts oxidizing.

Most of the dealers guarantee their sealants for 3 to 5 years but they have to be reapplied about 4 to 6 times per year! The dealer knows that few people will actually do this so they make a tremendous profit on these "premium" paint protection up sells.
