This stuff creates a 2.5 mil thick barrier - basically like doubling your factory clear coat. It handles UV damage so your paint won't fade, deals with chemical stains like bird poop and tree sap, and has self-healing properties where minor scratches just disappear. The gloss it brings out is unreal- your car will look better than when you first bought it. And it won't yellow, peel, and need removal after a decade, like PPF. Water just beads up and rolls right off, and dirt barely sticks to it. That's why our clients hardly have to mess with maintaining their cars anymore. We've tried everything out there, and this is hands down the best coating we've ever worked with. It's what we put on our own cars.
