German formula for better shine and protection

There is little doubt that cars are priced assets on our local shores. As such, many motorists, especially enthusiasts with passion for their rides, will want to maintain their cars in tip top running conditions.

While many spend huge efforts and hefty investments in the upkeep and upgrading of their cars' drivetrain, the looks are just as important.

And when mentioning aesthetics, people will naturally think of a car's paintwork. The condition of the paintwork will greatly affect the overall looks.

As such, many car owners often went to great heights to seek for the best way to reinstill the showroom shine in their car. As the saying goes "prevention is better than cure", paint protection has become one of the topmost priorities in car care.

Regaining the shine on your car

Proper paint care can start from routine processes, such as car wash and waxing. It is important that proper procedures are undertaken when washing your car, as any wrong step can inflict serious damages to the delicate paintwork.

For instance, sponge used during the soaping process can easily pick up debris and leave scratches on the body panels. It is also important that the car is properly dried after a car wash, as residual water droplets can leave unsightly spots on the paintwork. And when left untreated, these spots may even seep deeper into the paintwork and result in stains.

Many owners will also apply a layer of wax after every wash to give the paintwork better protection and leave a shiny effect. However, conventional car wax is more susceptible to weather conditions - such as rain and sunlight - and can be easily broken down by these elements.

Protecting your paintwork against weathering elements

While conventional car wax may not stand the test of time, technological advancements have paved the path of better quality car care products.

Take for instance, many firms are coming out with paint protection that are less soluble in water and resist dust and heat better. Examples are paint coating which makes use of bond qualities of nano particles, as well as alternative methods such as glass coating.

While it is good to look out for products that promise good strength of resistance and durability, they can vary largely in terms of costs too. Hence, it is important to find one that best suits your needs and budget.
Seeker - Professional grooming services

With years of expertise in the field, Top Seeker aims to provide professional car grooming services. Unlike other competitors in the field, Top Seeker customises their grooming services to best suit their clients' rides.

To ensure effective recovery and protection of quality paintwork, Top Seeker will first inspect the condition of the paintwork, before carrying out any grooming process.

Where many car grooming firms rely on just one or two steps in the waxing process, Top Seeker uses comprehensive and labour intensive procedures that involve up to five different steps, especially for cases where the paintwork is plagued with scratches. 

First, a cutting compound will be used to remove deep cuts in the paint. Then, a swirl remover compound will be applied gently to remove swirl marks created by high speed buffering in the previous stage. Lastly, a final cover is used to remove any imperfections or more resistant stain marks on the paintwork.

Once the shine in the paintwork has been restored, the following procedures ensure that the shine is properly protected for lasting effects.

Different coats of paint sealant will be applied, and as these products are synthetic-based, they form stronger bonds with the panel’s surface and are more lasting than conventional wax. Once done, the sealant is left to cure for at least three hours.

Besides extensive paintwork restoration, Seeker also has a range of products that can be used on a more regular basis to enhance the glow on the paintwork. The Coat 1 x3, for example, can be applied after the car wash, prior to drying.

Moreover, to allow customers to enjoy a fuss-free car care process, mobile grooming services is now available on demand. Top Seeker Pte Ltd is the exclusive distributor for Seeker's range of products in Singapore.
