    Pros and cons guys. Help me decide.
    1. Initial cost
    2. cost of maintenance
    3. Regularity

    I like the high gloss of an auto detailed car with matching protection of the cars paint.

    Thanks
    :wink:

    I had my Adventure done sa Ziebart. Paint Protection. Mayroon pa silang mas matindi, yung Diamond Gloss Paint Protection. They use materials use for Aviation.

    Pros and Cons
    Mas mahal ang Paint protection kesa detailing.. mga 3x...
    Mas tumatagal ang shine ng paint pro... advise nga nila just use plain water without
    shampoo in cleaning...
    Paint pro will last for a year or more... the detailing may be less... (My bro got his car detailed sa Meguire's, repeat siya uli after 5 mos, my paint pro ok pa more than a year na...)

    They are both there to protect the paint, so sacrificial film din pareho sila para sila ang nakaexpose sa elements... If you have the bucks... go for both... otherwise, either is fine...

    Refer to this thread... ideally, the paint must be detailed before any "protection" is applied...

    Paint protection systems are nothing more than polymer sealants applied with a mister and quick setting agent.

    Granted if ever I get a new paint job... I'll most definitely try the Ziebart route... if it really can save me so much time/effort, it's worth the dough...

PAINT PROTECTION OR EXTERIOR AUTO DETAILING
