Frequently Asked Questions

Colour Shield’s main difference is the longevity of the product when compared to standard waxes here are some common FAQ. 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 polish to give the car a high gloss shine.

Subsequently at the time of closing, car dealers will try to sell you a “premium” paint protection at anywhere from $300 to $599; The very reason we compiled these faq is to make people aware that these “premium” paint sealants make the car look really great for about a month, however 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, therefore they make a tremendous profit on these “premium” paint protection up sells, more faq below.

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