New Coatings:

With overall durability and incredible glossy looks, coatings have stormed the market and are now extremely popular forms of protection. The application process is a little more labor-intensive when compared to traditional waxes and sealants, but if you are looking for years of protection, instead of weeks or months, taking the coating plunge is highly recommended. Below are 5 consumer level coatings that we’ve recently added to our coatings selection. If you are looking to try out a coating, or a new coating this spring/summer season, these are the ones to reach for!

Honorable Mention: The above coatings are new and exciting, but do not forget about some of the old staples. Coatings like the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light, CarPro Cquartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Coating, and Gyeon Pure are a few years old, but offer fantastic levels of protection and gloss. While these are not “new” they will not be going anywhere soon as they are popular staples umong the coatings category.
