What is Paint Protection?
In addition to paint correction services (think fixing scratches and swirl marks), Capitol Shine also offers a variety of paint protection options to meet the needs of each vehicle.
Doesn't My Car Already Have a Clear Coat? Yes. For the most part, every consumer vehicle that have been produced since the 1980s has at least one layer of clear coat. When vehicles are being painted at the factory, a layer(s) of clear coat is applied on top of the color paint. This is done to help protect the paint to a certain level and is the reason why, many times, scratches can be buffed out without having to use touch-up paint - because the scratch is in the clear coat, not the color paint.
When the scratch is too deep, however, it scratches the actual paint and that is when touch-up paint is required. The problem with factory clear coat is that not only is it a minor layer of protection, but it also has the tendency to fade and wear out over time. This is why wax is used. Wax helps add an extra barrier of protection and while wax works great, it is only temporary which is why you need to apply it every 3-4 months.What are Capitol Shine's Protective Coatings?Advances in auto detailing has led to protective coatings. Our paint protection products are applied on top of that factory clear coat to provide greater protection for longer and also to help preserve the color. We offer two kinds of protection: coatings and film.
Ceramic Pro is not a wax or sealant, but a nano ceramic coating that bonds with the paint and is only removed by abrasion such as machine polishing. This coating also never needs to be waxed and is:
Scratch resistant
UV resistant
Anti-corrosive
Self cleaning
Provides extreme gloss
Contains hydrophobic properties
This product is available for the body, wheels, windshield and interior. We offer Ceramic Pro in a 2 year, 5 year and Lifetime warranty. Learn more about Ceramic Pro and the different packages we offer here.
Opti-Coat Pro is an American made protective coating. This is a popular option for those looking for an alternative to Ceramic Pro and still provides great protection against UV rays, marring, oxidation and more. This product is available in 2, 5 and 7 year warranties. Learn more about Opti-Coat Pro here.
Paint Protection Film is also offered as an option for vehicles. Why would one choose film over a protective coating? Actually, the majority of our customers who receive film also have a protective coating applied on top of the film for even greater protection. The film we use actually increases the thickness of vehicle's body, which results in excellent protection against rock chips - the thicker the layer, the harder it is to penetrate the paint.
Another reason our customers choose to wrap their vehicle in film is because of the variety of colors offered. Imagine changing your vehicle's color while preserving the original paint underneath. The film can be removed at a later time and return the vehicle to its factory color. We offer different packages of film wrapping for different areas of your vehicle. Find our packages on paint protection film here.
Beyond Your Vehicle - Our protective coatings are so good, their uses extend beyond just cars. They help protect boats from wear and tear from salt water, alkalis, acids, corrosion and more. We also use protective coatings for commercial properties in areas like elevator interiors and lobbies to help prevent scratches and marks.
We have entered a new age in the way we detail and protect vehicles. If you would like to know more about our line of protective coatings, detailing or paint correction services, please feel free to send us a message with any questions or comments.

Scratches and Swirl Marks
There are a many ways your vehicle's paint can become contaminated. Whether it's swirl marks, scratches, fading, chipping, a lack of shine or more, it never ends well. In detailing, these are commonly referred to as "paint defects." Did you know, just driving through an automatic car wash can result in swirl marks? Or choosing the wrong car cover may scratch your paint?
But how do you know if your paint is damaged, or if it's just dirty? Here's how you tell: First, wash your vehicle (or have it hand-washed by a certain detailing company - hint, hint). Then, park your car out in the sunlight, which will show any imperfections in the paint. If your vehicle is freshly washed, you should be able to run your hand over the surface, which SHOULD feel as smooth as glass. If it feels grainy, it does not necessarily mean your paint is beyond saving - THERE ARE SOLUTIONS.
Improper detailing and buffing can lead to swirl marks:
There are many vehicles where the paint may look beyond saving, however, that may not be the case. After a wash, we can assess where your vehicle's paint stands. If more extreme measures are needed, we can arrange that. Your vehicle may just need our Wash + Wax. This process consists of a paint-safe hand wash and dry of the exterior, trunk and door jambs, windows, mirrors, dashboard, console, wheels and tires. Then we use bug and tar removal, a clay bar surface treatment, and a dressing of the outside plastics and rubber. We then hand WAX the exterior and polish it all off with a light hand buff - properly, of course.
Sometimes, no amount of clay bar or wax can fix a scratch or swirl. Deep scratches or swirl marks require more attention, and the sooner it can be fixed, the better. If you are unsure (or just don't have time) about the type of scratch or how deep it goes, we can help with that. The first step it to schedule an appointment where we can assess your paint (it only takes 30 minutes). Often times, a paint correction process is needed. Capitol Shine will first wash your vehicle and then inspect the paint for any scratches and imperfections. Then, we can give you some options on the best way to proceed.
Protective Coatings
After any scratches and imperfections have been fixed, you may decide to invest in something that can prevent this problem in the future. Capitol Shine's Pro Line line of coatings provide a layer of protection unlike any other. Ceramic Pro or Opti-Coat Pro can help PREVENT scratches, fading, corrosion and more. If you would like to know more about ceramic coatings or to schedule a FREE estimate, please send us a message.
