Durable paint protection at your fingertips

Aesthetics play a significant role in establishing a good first impression. And like anything else, the condition of your car depends hugely on how it looks. 

Especially in Singapore where cars are pricey assets, owners often spend a good amount of time and effort looking after their rides.

However, with the myriad of paint care and protection products in the market, car owners may be in a fix to choose from the range of products for one that best suits their requirements and budget. 

The general consensus is that motorists are looking for is a fuss-free yet effective and reliable way to protect their car's paintwork against weathering elements - such as heat, rain, and dust - and at the same time safeguard it from scratches and man-made pollutants such as cleaning chemicals. 

Constant exposure to such materials may tarnish the paintwork and cause it to lose its shine. In more severe cases the paint coatings may peel, leaving the bare metal exposed to the elements, and may start to rust. 

Ways to care for the shine in your car

There is a wide range of paintwork grooming products on the market. Common paint care ranges from the rudimentary washing, to polishing and waxing. More recently, there are also more advanced paint sealant methods that can protect car paint from minor scratches and oxidation from weather elements.

Conventional car wax, as the name suggests, is an oil-based product, which helps to instil a glossy effect to the car's paintwork. However, car wax is more susceptible to weather conditions, such as rain and heat from the sun, and tends to dissolve more easily, thus losing their effectiveness. 

On the other hand, the more technologically advanced products, such as paint sealants, which can form strong bonds to the paintwork, are more lasting and resistant to weathering conditions. Hence, these products are more effective. But on the down side, they tend to be more costly.
ACE GT - Durable Paint Protection at your convenience 

With increasing commitments and the strenuous stress from work, many car owners have chosen to leave their cars to the hands of experts at car care workshops. 

Noticing the trend of increasing demand for car grooming, may workshops have set up businesses to cater specially to this group of consumers who are looking for expertise services without the hassle and pain of doing it themselves.

Director of ACE GT Pte Ltd, George Tay, has acquired expertise in grooming cars through his years of experience. Single-handedly, he started ACE GT Pte Ltd , which is one of the first companies to offer mobile high end detailing with long term paint protection services. To ensure quality services, he has also invested in high-end equipments.

Range of Products and Services 

ACE GT offers a comprehensive array of automobile detailing services, ranging from cleaning to paint corrections to waxing and paint protection. One of its pride and joy is the Ceramic Pro 9H Permanent Bond - a ceramic paint coating that forms a permanent protective layer on the car's surface. 

The product is engineered using nano technology, which gives the end product various desirable characteristics such as resistance to scratch, chemical, Ultra-Violet (UV), high temperatures of up to 750-degree Celsius, and hydrophobic effect (water run-off).

The product has an outstanding resistance to scratch, and cannot be removed by any chemicals once cured. The only way to remove the paint protection is through machine polish. Hence, the surface coated with Ceramic PRO stays untainted for a longer period of time, and can be cleaned much easier. 

More notably, the product will leave a high gloss finish to the paint surface, restoring the paintwork to showroom condition. ACE GT is also the sole distributor of Ceramic PRO products in Singapore. 

In order to attain the best results, the car paintwork must be cleaned, with any car wax that had been applied thoroughly removed. This is to ensure that the dirt or any external particles will not be 'locked' within the protective layer.

The company also offers other products in the Ceramic PRO range, such as Ceramic Pro LIGHT, which is suited for individuals who are looking for cheaper alternatives to the Pro 9H, with similar characteristics such as weather, UV and chemical resistance, albeit with a shorter durability period of two years. 

All Ceramic PRO products come with a minimum warranty of five years, depending on the car makes, models, and quality of the original paintwork.

To top it off, ACE GT's one-stop shop mobile services also comprise of paint corrections, interior grooming which includes upholstery cleaning and protection, odour removal etc.
