New car prep and full car paint protection film - 18 Audi RS3 @Detailer's Domain
2018 Audi RS3 in Nardo Gray gets Full Paint Protection Film and Nanolex Si3D HD
Audi RS3 - New car prep /Prestige Film Technologies Clear Guard Nano/ Nanolex Si3DHD The scope of the work included - new car prep, paint protection film, and Nanolex SI3D HD Ceramic Glass Coating. The services above would provide protection from rock chips and road debris, as well as a durable long lasting shine. Most will ask why would we need a "new car prep" when my car is new....hopefully the below will answer some of your questions. What is new? We consider a new car is new up from 50-100 miles or 1 month after purchase. What is done?
Liquid Gloss Factor Another unique feature of Clear Guard NANO™ is our development and implementation of the highest Liquid Gloss Factor in the industry. This is an achievement and measurement of unsurpassed surface brilliance, depth and intense gloss of CGN-SR™ when applied to any vehicle. The result is the highest reflectivity and transparency of any paint protection film on the market. As illustrated in the image below, Clear Guard NANO™ has minimal “Orange Peel” texture and its gloss coating is rated 50% glossier compared to the leading brand. Clear Guard Nano™ Features 1. Solar Reconvergence - self-healing minor scratches or swirls with exposure to the sun. 2. Anti-Etch and Anti-Stain durable coating. 3. Highest Liquid Gloss Factor of any film on the market with unsurpassed depth and brilliance that creates a mirror finish on your vehicle. 4. Clearest film on the market. 5. Durable PET base urethane to protect underlying paint from scratches and rock chips. 6. Tested and Approved by the best installation facilities in the world. Nanolex SI3D HD Based on its unique Si3D technology, Nanolex Car Care offers a range of products specifically developed and designed to fulfill the highest demands and needs of our professional customers. The Nanolex Si3D molecules - precursors of ceramic and hybrid materials - consist of silica, nitrogen, hydrogen and organic compounds such as carbon. These high-performance polymers are all solvent and fluorine free. The additionally-implemented thermoplastic component forms an incredibly hydrophobic, flexible, cross-linked matrix to give an outstanding hardness and durability. Nanolex Si3D is extremely weather and chemical resistant, which in turn provides excellent corrosion protection with easy-to-clean properties. Nanolex Si3D can also increase the total hardness of the paint to up to 9H+, adding a clear coat with a color-darkening effect to the treated surface. Depending on the number of applied layers of Nanolex Si3D, the thickness of the coating can vary. The coating thickness, combined with the sophisticated structural nature of the Nanolex Si3D matrix, make the coatings resistant to abrasion caused by frequent washing and resistant against most chemical substances. An important part of automotive coatings are solvents. The liquid consistency, viscosity and volatility of the product is highly dependent on the used solvents. Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment. The Si3D coatings have very good ‘solvent release’ properties - about 90% of the solvents will evaporate during the first 24 hours, with the remaining 10% evaporating within one week. Please take note that solvent evaporation is also greatly dependant on temperature and weather conditions. Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment. Unlike traditional protective coatings such as car wax and conventional polymer coatings, where the protective efficiency decreases with time, and from using degreasing or alkaline detergents, or because of mechanical removal, Nanolex Si3D coating exhibits outstanding durability and a tough insensitivity to abrasion from frequent washing and the use of strong alkaline or acidic detergents.

Wow, fantastic work! Very meticulous. Always amazed at how poor the condition of a brand new car is after shipping.
