A bad paint job can degrade the look and appeal of even the newest vehicle. The biggest problem with repainting it is the high costs that easily put it well beyond many budgets. Professional painting services can easily cost you thousands. Going with the most inexpensive choice isn’t always a good idea either. If you would like to get a good quality new coat on your vehicle, why not paint it yourself. Gather all of the tools and supplies you need to do the job and make sure you have all of your protective clothes and safety equipment. This should include paint suits, eye protection, and respirators at the very least.

Increase Your Vehicle Resale Value With 3M Clear Paint Protection
Posted by admin in Paint Protection on March 23, 2011
If you’re thinking of selling your vehicle, you may already know that most cars drop value considerably after they have been owned for a while. It’s unfortunate that when you buy the car, you will pay much more for it than when you try to resale it, even if you sale just a few short months later.
While there are several different things you can do to increase your vehicle resale value, one of the easiest that will pay off the most is protection. Things like anti-theft protection or paint protection will greatly increase the value of the vehicle. This is because the average consumer will see these protections as things that help the vehicle to last longer. It’s an investment for them as much as it is for you to purchase a vehicle that will last longer for them and that will need less money put in upfront to make it worth it.

Posted by admin in Paint Protection on March 23, 2011
You’re ready to buy a new car and off you go to start visiting dealerships in your area. After looking at what seems like a million new cars, you finally find the one that you want. You go inside to set up your financing and while you’re sitting there, the dealer suggests adding a paint protection treatment that maintains your car’s glossy paint job. He promises that it will protect the paint from weather damage and can make this one time offer to you for a mere $1500.00 extra. You might think this is a good deal because certainly you want to make sure that your car continues to look as good as it does now. Before you sign on the dotted line, there are some things that you need to be aware of.
Costly paint protection systems from dealers are only costly to you. The dealers paid very little for them and jack up the price, depending on how much they think the prospective client may be willing to pay. This is why when you balk at the price, they offer to do you a favor and cut it in half. This might seem like a better deal but what you should consider that if he can offer to cut the price by 50%, he could’ve offered it to you at that price in the first place. This is already a hint at his dishonesty.

“How To” Maintenance Tips for Your 3M Clear Bra Automobile Paint Protection Film
Posted by admin in Paint Protection on March 23, 2011
1. 3M clear bras should not be waxed with a wax containing dyes or solvents. Some waxes and other substances may bond to the paint protection film. This can lead to yellowing and haziness. We suggest cleaning the film using Plexus or Original Bike Spirits, after washing the car, to lubricate and reduce friction. Abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds are not to be used.
2. If your 3M clear bra has minor scratches or scuffs pour rubbing alcohol on it and let stand for 1 minute. Some scratches will disappear. Is has been found that 3M brand paint protection film can be buffed for scratch removal. It is best to let a professional detailer do this kind of work because the process can be confusing or difficult, and cause more damage instead of repair.
