Sierra Glow - Blue Flame is Car Coating on Steroids

[SierraGlowSG]

Topics:- Is Coating necessary for Brand New Car.

Acid rain, UV sunlight, oxidation can hasten car paint deterioration. New cars have fairly healthy “clear coat”. This clear coat is a layer of clear paint that sits on top of your car paint. Washing with a dirty cloth/sponge and waxing your car will cause the clear coat to eventually disappear. To prevent this from happening, it is best to do your new car as soon as possible before surface scratches or deterioration to your clear coat occurs. Once you put on Blue Flame Treatment, you have an added layer of protection on top of your car's clear coat.

Which type of cars are suitable for Blue Flame Treatment.

Our Blue Flame Treatment is suitable for all old and new cars, no matter the age and model type of your car. Our team of experts will analyse your car surface to determine the amount of work needed prior to applying Blue Flame Treatment.

Car Waxing Vs Car Coating

 

What Is Car Waxing?

 

Waxing goes way back in time.  Back in the early days of Singapore (the 1980s), waxing was the thing to do if you want your ride to have the sleek shine. 

 

Anybody who wants a car wax on their prized cars will visit "car re-spray painters" or "car groomers"  to get the job done. 

Car groomers will use a soft sponge, dipped it in wax and apply it onto your car in circular motions.  The car is then left to dry for half an hour or until the wax turns hazy . Once it turns hazy, the car wax will be cleaned off  using cotton "Good Morning Towel". Back then, microfiber towel did not exist. 

 

Due to our hot and humid weather in Singapore, the lifespan of car wax on your car is between 4 to 8 weeks. It will eventually dry up or vaporise as it is not chemically bonded to your car.   

 

Car wax is generally low cost in Singapore, you can probably find someone who can do it for you at $50 (or lesser) or DIY by purchasing a can of wax from the supermarkets. 

 

But do you know that car waxing serves no purpose other than to give your car a good shine for 8 weeks?  Car waxing gives the car owner a sense of visual perfection and it does not protect your car's paintwork from oxidisation and deterioration. 

 

What Is Car Coating?

Fast forward to present day Singapore, better and faster technologies have come to replace car waxing such as paint sealants and glaze technologies.

Car coating is another technology that have invaded the market in recent years. They give you the same visual perfection (or even better) with car paint protection benefits. It prevents your car paintwork from oxidisation and deterioration.

They are better as they are made of Silicone Dioxide or Silica (Si02), these chemicals are versatile and they give good protection characteristics.

Car coating is more expensive but will work out better for you over a long run. Here is why:
 

1. Car coating last longer on your car

Unlike wax, car coating can last 3 - 5 years, depending on the chemical properties or ingredients.

 

2. Car coating gives better clarity and shine

Car coating provides a better clarity and shine.  Some might say that it provides a different shine.

 

3. Car coating gives minimal maintenance

A simple car wash with shampoo every week will suffice.  No more waxing and polishing. With car coating, you have earned the permission to be lazy. No more regular visits to car grooming centres. Start calculating the amount of time and money you will save

 

4. Car coating provides a hydrophobic effect on cars and light scratch resistant. 

For as long as the coat stays on the car, your car will experience hydrophobic effect and will be light scratch resistant. Hydrophobic effect is important as it allows water beads to slide off your car easily, otherwise, the water beads will become  watermarks. 

 

Take note that no coatings are 100% scratch proof and it will not prevent damages from abusive acts such as vandalism or hard scratching. So if you are looking for a product that can do that, then perhaps car coating is not the right technology for you. 

 

Car wax only provides the hydrophobic effect for the initial period of time and its effect will be reduced as the wax vaporises over time. Car wax is not scratch resistant. 

 

5. Car coating requires professional manpower

Car Coating requires a professional to perform the job. It is not something that you can be DIY-ed at home.  It requires proper tools, chemicals and skilled hands.

Topic:- How to get the Best Car Surface Protection?

 

Everyone who owns a car would want to know how to maintain the beauty of the vehicle. Nobody likes to drive around in a vehicle that is shabby and dull. Nobody would want to take the seat behind the wheels of a vehicle that is filled with dust on the inside and/or the outside. Car Detailing is one service that every automobile owner should hence opt for. This is the best way to avail surface protection. If you make use of the services offered by a good Car Grooming service provider, you will be able to take good care of your vehicle exteriors as well as interiors.

 

You should make sure that you take your vehicle to car care providers frequently to keep the surface of the vehicle protected. You should decide on the frequency based on your usage. If you’re someone who take the vehicle out of your parking lot only rarely, you do not have to drive to a car grooming provider each time. You should however make sure that you do everything that is necessary to get rid of the dust and dirt that gets accumulated in the vehicle body. If you’re unable to do this by yourself, you should drive to a Car Grooming provider even if you drive the vehicle only rarely.

 

The dust could cause a lot of harm to the vehicle body. It could cause formation of scratches and will adversely affect the life of car paint. In order to avoid any trouble, it would be best to get the vehicle cleaned often. Now, if your vehicle body is contaminated with intense stains, you should make sure that you get it cleaned with the help of professional aid. If you try to make use of intense methods and get rid of the stains, it could damage the vehicle body in a tedious manner. To avoid the trouble, it would be better to make use of advanced Car Grooming techniques offered by reputed car care providers.

Topic: Sierra Glow Polishing Process:

 

Using the special auto polisher, one round of polishing with tailor-made compound compatible with grit of #1000 and wool cloth, the polished thickness is measured as 0.08 micron and three rounds of polishing is measured as 0.2 micron.

 

Actually, two rounds of polishing could erase the grit of NEXT#1000 and leveled the surface. It theoretically indicates that only two rounds of polishing polishes 0.16 micron and generates instant heat which levels the uneven surface without polishing 0.2 micron. SierraGlow polishing process just polishes only 0.16 micron of the clear coat out of 50 – 60 micron layer and removes scratches and afterwards SierraGlow polymer process covers it with the layer of 5 micron of sealant “Glassglow”.

Highlight of the early week.

Renault Fluence swift by Sierra Glow workshop just week after its delivery to its owner. Though it is a NEW car, we said that it is not good enough. The surface was not bright and not sharp . The gloss layer was not glossy enough and we can make it look better! We sweat it out and after 8 hours, the end result is astonishing. Look at how we progress from stage to stage.

Yes, when the Renault owner saw the before and after, he was gladly satisfied with our Blue Flame programe. Your car can also enjoy the same kind of work. Quote "FBGlow" for $200 off!

This VW Passat is about 5 to 6 years old. Original state was Smokey Brownish, blemish stain, hologram, tiny and fine scratches all over. It was lack of regular car care maintenance previously. The owner sending in for our Sierra Glow Blue Flame Treatment. We did thorough clay washing followed by a tedious 2 hours of polishing. We turn the Passat into it original showroom conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

[SierraGlowSG]

The Lexus NX200T (Pearl White) crossover to our Sierra Glow for Blue Flame Treatment.

 

Original state was not glossy and yellowish. We promised the Lexus owner that we will retrieve its glossy look and much whiter than the present condition. Putting 2 senior technicians on the job and with carefully polishing out this Japanese Pearl to it meticulous state. The end result was fascinating, even the Lexus owner told us that it was very obvious before and after results.

 

*Seeing is believing. Don’t take our word for it. Bring down your ride and let us assess for you, how much it can improve after coated with our Sierra Glow Blue Flame Treatment.

Hi, can quote for the blue flame coating,collecting my Altis soon. Thanks

[SierraGlowSG]

                   Here Is Why You Should Go To A Car Detailer Instead Of A Car Groomer

A search on car detailing or car grooming on sgCarMart reveals up to 275 listings in Singapore. Consumers are spoilt for choices when it comes to selecting someone to groom and clean their cars. 

 

                          

 

 

It is important that you are able to identify whether this company is a car groomer or car detailer as the quality of work and products used are different. That being said, both car groomers and detailers are involved in the business of maintaining the exterior and interior of your car through various methods and techniques which can include:

 
•Wash
•Wax
•Polishing
•Claying
•Paint Sealants
•Glass Coating
•Interior Cleaning & Vacuuming
•Leather Conditioning

 

 

 

 

Workmanship is key in car grooming and detailing. To achieve superior workmanship is an art, it is 50% labour and 50% product quality. The best products are useless without the skilled hand.  The skilled hand is useless without a good solid complement product.  Knowing the differences will put you in a better position to choose a service that meets your needs. 

 

1. How Do You Identify A Car Groomer?

 

1.1 Type And Duration Of Services.

Car groomers usually offer the traditional wash, clay, polish, wax, interior cleaning and tyre dressing. Some might go to an extent of offering paint sealants but they do not offer glass coating.  They get your car done in 1-2 hours.

 

 

1.2 Location

Car groomers are usually found in a multi-storey car park, shopping mall’s car park, petrol kiosk or smaller workshops. Time is essential as customers expect to collect their cars after their round of shopping and eating.

 

1.3. Quality

No sophisticated tools are used by the car groomer. Also, due to the short timing allocated to each car, a car groomer is not able to shower his utmost tender, love and care on your ride. What car groomers can offer you is a short term cosmetic shine surface with no commitment to you. Up to 6 months of shine if they have paint sealants on. Car wax vaporises in 3 months. Some customers “make do” with car grooming as they are happy with the price and the convenience.

 

 

 

2. How Do You Identify A Car Detailer?
 
Car detailer is the “Atas” version of car groomer, they target and cater to a niche group of people who wants a deeper, cleaner and more finished work.  A car detailer makes a promise to you that your car is in good hands for a period of 2 - 5 years by giving you a warranty.

 

2.1 Glass Coating

Car detailers do not offer the traditional wax and polish service. In place of that, they offer a range of glass coating services. Glass coating is a higher end of car paint protection systems that provides a deeper lasting gloss, it allows the owner to maintain his car easily and it protects your car paint from oxidation and deterioration. 

 

 

2.2 Quality and Duration Of Job

You can expect up to 8 hours of wait for the job. Car detailers labour extensively on every inch of your car exterior body parts. They are more cautious and comprehensive in their work. They take note of your car’s paintwork condition and determine how to rectify or correct it. Each car paintwork is different,  it depends on the make of car and whether or not the car owner has taken good care of the car. Continental cars’ paintwork can be very fragile and delicate. Depending on your car paint condition, different methods and techniques will be used to remove swirl marks, hologram or blemish surfaces. They usually pay attention to washing the wheel arch area behind the sports rims or tyre. They also carefully brush off the dust particles away from the brake components. A paint brush is a necessity item that cleans up all drainage gap from bumper to door handle including all edges and joints. 

A clay bar will be used on the entire car surface which will remove all dust, dirt particles, iron filing, tree sap, road tar and other unwanted contaminants that will cause the paint to feel rough. When your car paint surface is rough, it does not reflect light evenly and dulls the shine. That is when a customer will complain that their car does not sparkle anymore.

 

                                            

 

 

2.3 Sophisticated Tools and Products

 

A car detailer has sophisticated tools, accessories and chemicals for glass coating. They use  dual action polishers which cost 3-4 times more than an ordinary rotary polisher that a car groomer is using. These dual action polishers come with a full selection of polishing pads ranging from hard, medium and soft to treat different paint condition.

 

          

                                                       

 

 

Chemicals wise, the grade of the compound, polishing and finishing sealant are important to achieve perfect workmanship. Workmanship is made up of 50% product and 50% labour, one simply do not live without the other.

 

After the short write up, it seems that car detailers are the “to go to” to groom your car but it actually bows down to what you like and need. Some are very happy with what car groomers can offer. However, our take is that all car groomers will eventually have to be a car detailer as consumers are more and more knowledgeable about the kind of products they should be using to protect their prized cars. 

 

 

3. Sierra Glow As A Car Detailer

Every car detailer will say that they are the best and none will say that they are second best. So how does Sierra Glow stand out among the glass coating competition?

All glass coating goes through the same process of washing, claying, polishing then applying glass coat with a sponge. We have an edge using the “torch & burn” method prior to applying the glass coat.  Our “torch & burn” gives a distinct blue flame, hence we term our glass coating “Blue Flame Treatment”

 

 

                                                                           

 

We have a specially designed canister containing silica content. This silica will be blown out through the canister on every inch of your car body to cover the uneven porous painted surface. All pores will be filled to create an even car paint surface. The more even the car paint surface, the more shiny your car is.  This is the most advanced technology as it leaves no pores untouched. At the same time, it creates a suitable bonding surface for the next step which is to apply a layer of glass coat onto your car with a sponge. 

 

                                                                    

 

We are the best but do you believe it? Seeing is believing. We invite you to come down and see for yourself how the glass coating is done at Sierra Glow.  We want your business but all the more we want you to believe in our product and what it can do for you. Request from us a free trial for your car and you can decide who is the best car detailer.  You are in charge of your car, you pick and choose who to serve your car.
