What is the Platinum Paint Protection at Steele Honda?

The Platinum Paint Protection at our dealership is a long-lasting sealant that we will apply to the exterior of your Honda vehicle. This clear coat sealant will not change the appearance of your vehicle’s paint, but it will protect the surface against dirt, salt, moisture, and sun. It does so by binding to the surface of your vehicle in a smooth and even coat.

Other tips and tricks for protecting the paint on your Honda vehicle

Our Platinum Paint Protection is what we recommend for people who don’t want to have to bother with frequent car washes, as that is the main way of keeping the exterior paint fresh. You could also avoid driving in winter, on gravel roads, or in poor weather conditions. Here are some other tips:

If you wash your car by hand, make sure you have the right tools. The wrong cloth could damage the exterior paint. Using a dirty cloth can also cause problems.
Getting a monthly or bi-weekly car wash and going more frequently in winter will help prevent rust. Just don’t go when it’s below freezing.
Car washes that offer a wax finish are even better. You will have to pay more for that service, but the wax will provide more protection.

Benefits of taking care of your Honda vehicle’s exterior paint

Taking care of a vehicle can be difficult. We understand that, but in the long run, the benefits will come back to you. The benefits of taking care of your Honda vehicle’s exterior paint are as follows:

You can be proud of your vehicle. We all love driving a vehicle that looks new, and exterior paint is the first thing that others will notice.
The resale value will hold up longer. Most people buying a car will look for things like rust or scratches before they commit. A perfect exterior will tell them that you took good care of your vehicle.
Repair costs for exterior paint will be kept down. Sometimes, rust can get so bad that it costs you extra money. Pay more now for protection and save yourself money later.
