New Standard in Vehicle Care
The New Standard in Vehicle Care and Cleanliness
To help you navigate through the various products, whether they are
called waxes, polishes, sealants or simply paint care treatments, keep in
mind that the main cosmetic problem facing your vehicle, particularly its
paint, is oxidation. Oxidation is first initiated by UV rays, and is then
propagated by the interaction between oxygen, along with environmental
pollutants, and the organic materials that make up the vehicle's paint and
clear coat. Consequently, the cleaner your vehicle remains, the greater is
its surface integrity and ultimately its value.
The Car Care Coatings™ answer involves a novel and
innovative approach to solving this problem while giving you lifetime
enjoyment of your vehicle's appearance. The Car Care Coatings™ solution consists of a family of non-silicone based resins
that utilize the latest advances in nanoparticle technology to form
protective, glossy layers of ceramic like matrices on vehicle finishes,
including; paint (clear coat), glass (windows and windscreens), plastic
(automotive trim, light lenses, panelling, bumpers and aircraft
windscreens), rubber (tyre sidewalls), and metals (aluminium and chrome
wheel wells, aircraft "brightwork"). These proprietary ingredients include
ceramic polymers that cross-link and covalently bond to advanced
nanoparticle technology, selected specifically for the surface material to
be enhanced, protected and preserved.
The Car Care Coatings™ family of surface treatment
products is the new standard in the vehicle (auto, aviation and marine)
care and maintenance industry. The gloss and protection that Car Care
Coatings impart to these finishes is far beyond that of
ordinary car, aircraft, or boat waxes, polishes or sealants. Indeed, a
record of producing superior results for car, truck, motorcycle, boat, and
aircraft owners places Car Care Coatings™ solutions in
the realm of surface coatings, making it your ultimate source for vehicle
enhancement, care and cleanliness.

Car Care Coatings™
Ceramic Polymer
When applied to the paint finish Car Care Coatings™ form a genuine polymeric film of specially modified nanoparticles with adhesion to the surface supported at the molecular level. Instead of resting on the pores of the surface, Car Care Coatings™ form molecular attractions between atoms of the coating resin / particle matrix and those of the surface material. Within minutes a chemical bond is formed that fills in the porous voids of the paint exterior. This greatly increases the physical properties of the paint finish, enhancing it with a deep rich gloss that is protected by a ceramic-like membrane for years.
Others
Waxes
Wax based products have no film forming abilities and will oxidize upon exposure to UV. In addition, waxes require solvents to etch into the paint to secure adhesion. The result is often a permanent marring of the finish as seen when the wax is removed.
Hydrophobic Nanoparticles
In addition to unparallel protection, the ceramic like polymer of Car Care Coatings™ also retains long-term release properties and a high-angle of contact -- the angle generated by a liquid bead resting on the surface. For example, water on the coatings will bead to form an angle of 110 while on the uncoated surface the angle of contact may be 80. A nearly self-cleaning surface is created, that usually only requires water and a microfiber cloth needed to maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle.
Hydrophobic Soft Plastic Particulates
PTFE / Teflon in any vehicle wax or polish comes in the form of a powder or particulate suspended in water and functions primarily as an aid in the application (post-buffing) of the product. By the very nature of its chemistry, PTFE is non-reactive. It can only be held in place by means of entrapment with organic binders that eventually oxidize. Since it is essentially a soft plastic like material, it is easily abraded from the surface once the protective layer is removed. Therefore, PTFE / Teflon only temporarily add to the protective and release properties of the product before it is lost to the environment.
Complete Chemical Inertness
By chemically adhering to the finish while maintaining even greater internal bonding properties, the Car Care Coatings™ resins and the matrices they form with nanoparticles will not breakdown or migrate from the surface. That's because these linkages and their internal forces are maintained in a three-dimensional polymeric matrix, unlike the weaker two-dimensional silicone arrangement. The result is a ceramic-like membrane of protection and enhancement that seals out all oxidative elements while sealing in a deep-gloss shine for years. In addition, the incredible depth of gloss and layer of ceramic like protection of Car Care Coatings™ is totally unaffected by all types of acidic and alkaline materials, from acid rain, tree sap and bugs to road salt and bird droppings.
Chemically / UV Degrading
Silicone based products are made up of small
pre-polymers of silicone that are co-reacted with organic materials to
form polymeric films linking together many of these units or "mers" to
create "poly-mers". Yet, once the organic binders are oxidized, the
silicone backbone decomposes at the surface leaving an inorganic
siliceous (silicate-like) residue. If the film undergoes premature
break-breakdown due to exposure to moderately alkaline materials like
some kinds of road grime (with a ph of 9 or greater) or more acidic
pollutants like acid rain (ph of 3 or lower), the silicone resins will
migrate from the finish making for incomplete protection and difficult
removal. Regardless of how well maintained or how often the surface is
cleaned, eventually the organic binder will oxidize due to UV exposure.
Hence the need for periodic reapplications.
The chemical bonds that hold Car Care Coatings™ together and to the surface are called "covalent bonds", the stronger type of bond. In addition, further bonding strength is derived from the forces of attraction provided by incorporated nano-scale chemistries. It is this superior bonding strength that allows Car Care Coatings™ to provide a lifetime of protection and enhancement for some applications, like that on vehicle paint finishes.
Ionic and Static Charge Attractions
Non-polymer, non-organic type products usually exist as crystalline structures (e.g. salts or silicates) and are held together and crystallize on the surface by ionic bonding forces, a weaker type of bond. While initially capable of maintaining continuous films, these forces are not strong enough to prevent re-crystallization of the silicate upon exposure to water and moisture. Hence any protection afforded is a result of the silicate salt blooming to the surface of the polish before it is abraded from the paint finish.
