While other industry specific directories ask for monthly fees that add up to large amounts over the course of a year, UK Car Valeting & Car Detailing Directory costs just £30 per year.  Equivalent to £2.50 a month, that really is a no-brainer.

Not only is the directory optimised very well for search engines, UK Car Valeting & Detailing Directory also promotes my listing via Facebook and Twitter and Google+.

So any of my colleagues in the trade, if you're not already listed on UK Car Valeting and Detailing Directory, why not?

New Car Protection in Somerset - 2013 Jaguar F-Type V8S

This week I have had the privilege of carrying out a New Car Protection on a week old Jaguar F-Type V8S. Although they already have a list price of almost £80,000, the owner had ticked most of the option boxes, bringing it closer to £100,000.

 
This is the first Jaguar F-Type to be protected with Ceramishield Professional ceramic sealant. One of the main advantages of Ceramishield Professional is that it comes with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.  Another advantage is that it is hard-wearing, and doesn't need constant retreatment, unlike many of the dealer sealants.

So once the car had been washed and decontaminated, it was evident the dealers had done quite a good job when preparing it, surprisingly. It was given a light machine polish to improve the gloss level.  Once the polishing was complete, it was wiped down ready for sealant application.

So Ceramishield Professional was applied to the paintwork, wheels and hard plastics, another ultra-durable sealant on the other plastic trim.  As it was carried out inside, the pictures were taken inside too. Hoping to get some outside pics very soon.

 

New Car Protection in Somerset

So have you ordered a new car? Yes?

Has the dealer offered you a paint protection package? Yes?  Don't agree to it just yet.

The sealant systems usually offered by dealerships are polymer sealant systems.  These are not very durable, often not applied properly, and can be destroyed by the harsh chemicals used in the roadside car washes.They also often rely on you applying some top-up product to fulfill the warranty.

Comparison of Ceramishield Professional against polymer sealants and waxes

Ceramishield Professional is VERY different.  Developed by Ceramic Protection Systems this uses ceramic technology to protect the paintwork of your vehicle.  CPS are so confident in the protection Ceramishield Professional offers, they give a warranty for as long as you own the car.

• 600 times harder than a traditional Wax
• Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own the vehicle
• Easy To Maintain
• Glass-Like Finish
• Improved Residual Values
• Resistance to Bird Lime
• Paint, Carpets & Leather Protected
• Free Aftercare Kit worth £50

By using a sealant like Ceramishield Professional that uses ceramic technology, it becomes the functional surface, acting like a second clear-coat.  Because it is so tough, it is ideal if you don't have the time for the maintenance and topping up with the dealer systems.

Regular washing is the only maintenance needed to keep your vehicle looking fantastic! The coating can even be waxed or sealed over with your favourite product to intensify the gloss.

Ceramishield Professional is an amazing product to see in action.  It creates a glass-like colour enhancing gloss that can be applied to non-porous exterior surfaces including paint, glass, metal, stainless steel, wheels, gel coat, and plastic composites.  Watching water on it can be mesmerising!

Ceramic Protection Systems guarantees the effectiveness of Ceramishield Professional vehicle protection system for as long as you own the vehicle when applied to new cars by an approved installer / dealer.

Ceramishield Professional provides the added benefits of increased protection against the elements, minor scratches, swirl marks, acid rain, bird droppings, and harmful UV rays.  Ceramishield is not a typical wax or sealant which only forms a sacrificial shield of protection, instead it bonds into your paintwork creating a semi-permanent glossy shell over the surface making an easy to clean barrier against the elements.
