How to protect your paint? We'll show you with Meguiar's!

Lacquered surfaces are encountered in everyday life almost at every step. In the automotive industry, however, paint represents the part of the car that we notice at first glance. According to its condition, we can also compare the overall condition and value of the vehicle, which can play a key role in the final decision, especially when selling or buying it. So how to protect the paint to keep it in perfect condition for as long as possible?

The American company Meguiar's, which has been producing top-quality car cosmetics since 1901, offers a wide range of products for the protection of painted and unpainted surfaces. During its long history, and on the basis of direct cooperation with car paint manufacturers and the cars themselves, it has brought several revolutionary innovations in the world of car cosmetics that have become a common part of today's market, and therefore we can present you paint protection preparations from which every user can choose, from inexperienced amateurs, through passionate enthusiasts to seasoned professionals. Meguiar's paint protection products have several features that every user will appreciate: Already during development, the emphasis was placed on very simple and time- and physically undemanding application and wiping. They have extreme vigor. Meguiar's waxes and sealants in liquid and solid form work quite comparably, so the user can choose a more pleasant option without having to save on the final result. Additives of polishing oils help to promote the final gloss and depth of the paint.

A spell called carnauba

Natural-based waxes, i.e. with admixtures of lanolin, beeswax or the popular carnauba, are a traditional form of varnish protection, well known to generations of our fathers and grandfathers. These waxes provide extreme depth, especially to dark paint, protect the surface of the paint from adverse environmental influences and repel water. Today, natural or carnauba waxes are still the most popular and affordable option for paint protection, but with a much simpler, faster and more pleasant application than in the past. In the Meguiar's assortment, this category is represented by, for example:

G70 Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Wax (G7014 - solid, 311 g, G7016 - liquid, 473 ml)
D166 Meguiar's Ultra Polishing Wax (D16601 - with polish, reinforced with polymers, 3.79 l)

Synthetic polymers - double protection

With the development of synthetic technologies, so-called "sealants", i.e. waxes completely free of natural ingredients, were introduced to the market. These products began to use the modern technology of hydrophobic (water-repellent) synthetic polymers (HPT). While other methods of protection "only" adhere to the surface of the paint, the chains of synthetic polymers also lock together, creating a stronger and more durable protection. Thanks to this, they provide better results, longer durability, higher gloss enhancement on light lacquers and perfect depth on dark and black lacquers. We can also use them on polished metals, clear plastics and other surfaces. The most popular sealants are:

G2105/G2106 Meguiar's Ultimate Wax (G210516 - liquid, 473 ml, G210608 - solid, 226 g)
D301 Meguiar's DA Microfiber Finishing Wax (D30116 - 473 ml, D30101 - 3.79 l)

Hybrid ceramic protection - "ceramics" easily and quickly

Progress cannot be stopped, so scientists in laboratories are still looking for ways to further improve the protection capabilities of not only painted surfaces. New possibilities are offered by technology using silicon dioxide (SiO2), which has been combined with synthetic polymers. While SiO2, sometimes referred to as "ceramic", provides even greater resistance, durability and water repellency, polymers allow the user to apply and wipe off easily, prevent white spots from forming on plastics and rubber strips, and provide ease of use that allows hybrid ceramic protection to be applied even in home conditions, following a very easy application procedure. Hybrid ceramic protection is the most advanced protection of paintwork and other surfaces that you can apply at home.

G2004 Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax (G200416 - 473 ml)
M27 Meguiar's PRO Hybrid Ceramic Sealant (M2716 - 473 ml, M2701 - 3.79 L)

Ceramic protection = extremely long-term paint protection

With the development of science, the so-called "ceramic protection" of paint and other types of surfaces appeared on the market a few years ago, i.e. products for extremely durable and long-term protection. These products are manufactured using the most modern technologies using silicon oxide. They are intended especially for application by trained professionals who will ensure top quality and durability of protection. Even ceramic protections are suitable for use on all painted surfaces, including wheels, etc., and with their regular maintenance and nourishment, we can maintain their fantastic properties for a very long time, which surpasses all natural and synthetic waxes.
