It’s also a good idea to treat the inside of box sections such as chassis rails and sills. A different type of chemical is used for this, or other underseal products can be made thinner with white spirit to make them easier to spray or inject into these inaccessible places. How to apply underseal

It all depends on you, your budget and your car. If you want the peace of mind paint protection offers, then it can be worth it – especially if you have an expensive sports car, a luxury saloon or are going to be doing a significant number of miles.A company that offers valet services (including new car dealers) can most likely offer you a professional paint-protection layer. This is similar to the solutions that you can use at home, but entails a more involved spray-on process done by an expert; it’s a longer-lasting way of protecting your car’s paint.

Erin looked happy and comfortable in the seat, and we were able to raise and lower the headrest using a small button – simply pressing and pulling up, with the head rest adjusting accordingly. This was very simple and straightforward to do, and it was great peace of mind to know that the height of the head support could always be adapted to meet her current height. Rather than some seats that are limited to particular age groups, this feature makes the Maxi-Cosi RidiFix AirProtect something which can easily grow with your child. These treatments (with brand names such as Supagard) can protect your paint for several years without needing any extra work. They are often offered as a way of making extra profits at a car dealership, but could be worthwhile when the time comes to sell your car so it's worth considering. You can always have these treatments done later if you opt not to have them applied when buying a new car, or are buying a used car. Paint-protection filmThere are two types of carnauba wax you can get; pure and a blend. Pure carnauba wax is yellow in colour and will give a really nice deep shine to your paintwork as well as protecting it. It’s also the more expensive and can be quite hard to apply. Blended carnauba wax makes use of additives including beeswax to make it easier to apply but it won’t give the same deep shine. It’s white in colour and cheaper to buy. All natural wax will need reapplying every six weeks or so and will protect your paintwork from UV rays, water and other contaminants.

Ceramic coatings are well established when it comes to protecting your car’s paintwork, but now they’re making an appearance in the world of fabric protection, too. You can either use a paintbrush, aerosol or spray gun to apply the seal. Make sure you mask off areas which shouldn’t be covered – especially the brakes. Protect the exhaust too – although it’s not disastrous if it is coated, the heat will burn the underseal and it will smell unpleasant. It’s also worth covering the paint on panels you will see, as overspray is difficult to remove.It’s not a completely permanent solution, because scratches will eventually build up on the plastic and tend to be fairly obvious, so the protection will need to be reapplied at some point. However, it’s longer-lasting and more durable than most spray-on products and leaves the actual paint totally free of scratches. Even a malicious scratch or scuff from people walking by in a car park may not penetrate down to the paintwork unless the vandal is really dedicated. This solution may not be the best option for most car owners, but if you are serious about protecting your paintwork, or have an expensive sports or luxury car, it can provide the best levels of protection. Water-based: with fewer chemicals, these sealants are healthier for the user and friendlier to the environment. Installation: Properly equipping each product to your vehicle shouldn’t befuddle motorists seeking extra safety. We prioritized products that made the installation process clear and straightforward. The hydrophobic layer will help prevent dirt, bird lime, stains and marks from external elements from appearing or ruining the lacquer clear coat. It also doesn’t break down in the same ways a traditional wax coating does, so while they may be more expensive then wax equivalents, ceramic coatings will last a little longer.
