Because they work with buyers who have already spent thousands on a vehicle, dealers try to capitalize on that consumption mentality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, high price: Retailers often charge more than the actual cost of what independent details charge for the same or better service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bundle with unnecessary objects: Often, ceramic coating or paint protection film<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comes as part of a &#8220;safety package,&#8221; but these packages also include many other elements, such as fabric protection products, nitrogen-filled tires, and highly pricy services that may not be necessary or valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, the dealer does not work itself but outsources to a local third party and updates the customer on this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Lack_of_Openness\"><\/span><strong>2. Lack of Openness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a dealer company sells you a complete package, they often fail to provide clear information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which brand or quality of ceramic coating or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultrashieldx.com\/\">paint protection film<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is used<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many layers or coats are used<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prep work level before application<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warranty details (which may be unclear or misleading)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lack of openness makes it difficult for buyers to make informed decisions.

Its paint protection film<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is made up of a thin polycaprolactone (TPU) base film sourced from prominent companies like BASF, Wanhua, Huntsman, Lubrizol, and Convestro.

This involves removing surface errors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swirl marks\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lightly scratches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oxidation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water stain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most dealers leave the step entirely or do it quickly, which results in errors during the coating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent stores usually spend hours improving paint in several steps before applying a PPF or ceramic coat. Leaving this step reduces the efficiency of ceramic coating or paint protection film<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and your car may get worse over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_A_Common_Package\"><\/span><strong>5).
