Your pride and joy – a supercar or motorcycle – looks beautiful when new, dressed in the most precious composite materials and delicate paint.

It will be exposed to harsh weather conditions, precipitation, road dirt and debris while on the move, or it will stand the test of time while stored as a collection item, battling ambient moisture and light.

Paint protection is an important step in preserving your vehicle’s delicate paint and clear coat.

First things first, we always start clean. We gently remove dirt, grime and surface contaminants with love and care.

If necessary, a detailed paint correction process will bring back the original shine.

Finally, all surfaces are finished with a polymer-based silicone coating for durability and longevity.

Automotive coatings are the unsung heroes of the automotive world, providing protection against corrosion, UV and environmental damage, while adding visual appeal. Their importance lies in their ability to ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of vehicles.

The coatings industry is constantly innovating to provide solutions that meet the evolving needs of both consumers and manufacturers, making it an indispensable part of the automotive landscape.

At CSI, we are constantly reading and learning about complex composite materials, paint and the clearcoats that cover and protect them. The same goes for all the products we use on your car. Someone has to make sure that they work together to ensure longevity – not damage. And that “someone” is us.

Over the past decade, chemistry has moved rapidly beyond the basic protection provided by raw materials such as mineral sealants, carnauba emulsions, cationic emulsifiers and silicone fluids. Advances have been made in each of these categories. There are now a myriad of new emulsifiers on the market, which in themselves provide a good combination of beading and film formation. New fluids, resins and novel additives have also been creatively developed to provide advanced performance for those who are able to recognise the benefits and combine them with the proper manipulation of engineered machinery.

The most valuable partner will offer the best products, known for their consistent quality. “We believe that the key to achieving the best possible result is to use a synergistic combination of products. By layering the complete surface protection, shine enhancing waxes and professional ceramic seal, we aim to provide that superior, durable quality finish.

Sustainability initiatives include the development of water-based and powder coatings to minimise environmental impact. Reducing VOC emissions and improving recycling and waste reduction efforts are also integral to sustainability initiatives. In addition, the industry is focusing on efficient production processes that reduce energy consumption and waste. As the world’s sustainability aspirations grow, the coatings market is aligning itself with a greener future.

From a simple wash to a full service protection programme, all the products we use are assessed for their environmental impact.
