The primary function for this base ceramic paint is to protect paint since it contains synthetic protection agents. When your car leaves the garage, it's left open to dangers that are endless such as insects, bird droppings, dirt and dust, and of course extreme weather conditions as well as sun. Naturally, these risks can wreak havoc on the paint of your vehicle and result in it becoming dirty, rusted and with a shabby finish.
Tips to Protect Car Base Paint
If you would like your car to look clean and shiny for many years regular maintenance is required. Here are some tips that could be useful.

Cleaning
Perhaps the most effective method to protect your car's paint is to keep it clean. When you get home at the end of a long drive take the time to wash off any dirt from your car since leaving it on the car could cause damage. After washing, allow it to cool in the shade so that the water evaporates and not get into your body.
Only use mild auto soap and a clean sponge to clean. Make sure you only wash and rinse one area at a time and clean from top to the bottom. Don't scratch the paint, instead make long, light strokes that run along the length of the vehicle. Dry your car in shade (and not in the sun) and use blotting paper instead of wiping.

Waxing
The next step is to apply wax. This is a vital step to protect paint from damage. Remember that there's no shortcut when it comes to waxing. The benefits of waxing are not just the look and shine of the car's exterior, but also shield it from harmful UV radiations and dirt. The best method to apply wax is to apply the car wax polish coat on the car's surface, and then wipe it off.

Paint protection film
Paint protection film functions as a protective coating that is placed on top of the base layer of paint. It guards against small cracks and chips that can occur in your car's paint caused by normal driving. It also protects the paint from the chalking and dulling consequences from direct sunlight. Make sure your car is equipped with one.
If you're looking to clean and polish your car or apply a protection film, an expert detailing service is ready to assist. They will ensure that your car is safe from the elements outside and will ensure its worth should the day ever come when you need to sell it.
