best paint protection film in wisconsin

It is important to keep in mind that these are two very different services offered by Exquisite Auto Spa. Ceramic coating provides a shine, hydrophobic characteristics and properties to allow easier cleaning. Paint protection film is a protective barrier that drastically reduces impacts, swirls, scratches and other contaminants visible to the eye from entering the clear coat for five years.

Absolutely! You can add a ceramic coating over your paint protection film, as it gives the film additional hydrophobic and gloss properties while making the vehicle easier to clean. 

Handwashing your vehicle is always preferred, as “soft touch” car washes tend to rub abrasive residue leftover from previous customers against your paint. Even “touchless” car washes can damage your paint due to their use of hard chemicals and high pressure water jets.

Nonetheless, you can use an automatic car wash, but we recommend you wait at least 7 days from the time of application.

This film’s top coat is designed to self-heal surface scratches and swirl marks that commonly occur during routine vehicle washing. It is possible for a significant impact to penetrate the film’s top coat, which will not self-heal. But, unless the impact is severe, the film will likely still prevent your actual finish from damage.

Overall, the cost of paint protection film far outweighs the cost and hassle associated with repainting and/or replacing multiple vehicle panels.
