Just like our faces, which require regular cleansing, moisturising and protection from nature's elements, our cars too, require paint protection products and services to maintain their shine and factory-good looks.
One of them is local startup ACE GT Pte Ltd, Singapore's trained and appointed centre for Ceramic PRO, having met its international standards in terms of setup requirements, market-leading equipment and quality workmanship.
The company began humbly as a one-man mobile operation and having stood the test of time, set up its first shop in 2013. Earlier in April 2016, it relocated to a newer and larger workspace, more than double the size of its previous outlet.
Ceramic PRO
The paint protection product, Ceramic PRO, which ACE GT Ptd Ltd uses, is a coating system based on a remarkable and unique formula of nano ceramic molecular compounds. Not wanting to rest on its laurels, Ceramic PRO constantly researches and develops new formulas in its R&D centre, and is the most advanced protective coating in the market today. Ceramic PRO's top-notch products have also earned it the 'Asia Best Brand Award' by the Asia Excellence Entrepreneur Federation.
Ceramic PRO came onto the paint protection scene in 2010, showcasing a series of potent and durable protective coatings. In 2013, Ceramic PRO got a larger piece of the limelight at a motoring festival in Australia, when its product's potency was tested on a Lamborghini Performante.
Aside from usage on cars, Ceramic PRO, because of its quality, reliability and durability, is also used for surface protection in marine, aircraft, construction and heavy machinery industries.
ACE GT Ptd Ltd's most popular paint protection product to date is the Ceramic PRO 9H, a permanent nano-ceramic protective paint coating, which has super-hydrophobic characteristics, superior chemical resistance, ultraviolet light resistance, scratch resistance, temperature resistance and oxidation resistance.
Ceramic PRO 9H forms a permanent bond to the car's paint and can't be washed away or broken down. 9H can only be removed by abrasion, making it a highly-durable protective coating to protect your car's paint from damaging contaminants. The unique formulation of 9H has enabled it to be multi-layered, which means the density of the coating can be increased with additional layers, creating a thicker and harder film that increases scratch resistance.
ACE GT Ptd Ltd's services come in various packages, ranging from basic to intensive, and caters to both your car's exterior and interior, using Ceramic PRO and 3D High Definition Car Care's products - the packages are advised depending on the intensity of work required on your car.
New cars undergoing a Ceramic PRO treatment require roughly six to eight man-hours to complete, while older cars, which have more weathered paint require significantly more time.
Tender Loving Care
One other respect that makes ACE GT Ptd Ltd the company of choice for protective paint coating is the quality of work it produces. Polishing and coating requires not just patience, but also tons of technique and proven equipment. More importantly, ACE GT Ptd Ltd's employees are internationally trained and attend refresher courses yearly.
When a car arrives at the shop, ACE GT Ptd Ltd's duty manager will inspect the car's exterior and interior alongside the owner, helping him understand what's best for the car before a Ceramic PRO treatment package is decided on. To maintain the cleanliness of its customer's cars, the steering wheel, driver's seat and floor mats are covered during the entire process.
During polishing, the cars are parked in an air-conditioned polishing room that has ultra-bright working lights to help employees spot even the tiniest of scratches. Another room, which is a clean room, features a built-in air ventilation and filtration system to prevent contamination during the application of Ceramic PRO products. Special lightings are also used here, to ensure that not a single spot is missed. The lightings also help to speed up surface curing, with its in-built curing system.
