Vehicles need more than mechanical work to stay in their best condition. The exterior also needs to be maintained to get the best use out of your car. According to Grand View Research, the nation’s market for vehicle paint protection in 2021 totaled about $458 million. Here are four benefits of color protection services for vehicles.
1. Protects Against Further Damage
Small dings and chipped or scratched paint could expose the metal underneath the paint to the outdoor elements. Any rain, snow, or road salt that your vehicle might encounter could corrode the exposed metal and enable rust to settle in. If ignored, the rust might work its way through the metal and spread to other parts. Fixing the paint helps to protect the exterior against premature weathering and related problems, like rust.
2. Fixes Small Dings, Chips, and Scratches
The service can use paintless dent repair to remove small dents and dings in the metal that affect how the body looks. A variety of methods make it possible to push or pull the imperfections without sanding or grinding through the clear coat and paint. Small stone chips and scratches can be filled in with touch-up paint or wet sanded and polished to remove them when possible. Once done, the exterior looks great and will hold up against the weather better over time.
3. Makes Vehicles Look Better
In addition to fixing small dents, chips, and scratches, the paint protection service removes old sealer and wax followed by the dirt and grime that often collects on exteriors. Once the dirt and grime are removed, a technician can polish the paint by hand, with a polishing wheel, or both to even out the finish that often is faded by the sun’s UV rays. The technician finished by applying wax and sealer to protect the paint against the sun’s rays and the weather. Your vehicle looks new and much better than before.
4. Increases a Vehicle’s Value
Because the service can fix minor imperfections, your vehicle looks as new as possible on the outside. When paired with a detailing service on the interior, the tires, and any chrome or other parts on the outside, it looks attractive and increases your vehicle’s value. If you were going to list it for sale, you could ask for and get a higher selling price that might more than make up for the service’s cost.
