2022 Mercedes C300 - Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating | Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights

2022 Mercedes C300 - Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

Here at Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings we love working on black vehicles with car wash and dealership-induced swirl marks! You probably notice that we have done so many black cars, it’s almost like we are known for restoring them to showroom condition! Usually, we like to think we do better than the showroom, as the showroom often includes people rubbing up against the paint, or dealers doing improper washing. Here, we have a Mercedes-Benz C300 in black with less than 10k miles.

Mercedes is known for its “diamond clearcoat” paint – the paint is super hard, which means it’s harder to get even smaller defects out. Some polishes and compounds barely scratch the surface (pun intended) when working on German cars. No worries, here at HHCC, as we have all of the tools needed to get paint looking better than it did from the factory! For this project, we utilized a semi-aggressive combination of pad and compound with our Flex cordless polishers to achieve a near-perfect finish. We made some areas that were swirled enough to appear gray, go back to being gloss black! Now our Killeen-area client is set for the future! If you’re in the Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights area, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

PAINT PROTECTION FILM/PPF/CLEAR BRA OPTIONS:

Typically, we would use STEK clear bra, Llumar, or Legend PPF gloss or matte paint protection film. Next, This clear bra article covers the major differences between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any. Moreover, there are minimal differences between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, STEK clear bra, Flexishield, Global, Legend, and more. Importantly, the key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which installers have to deal with, but generally don’t affect anything the client sees.

is clear bra/paint protection film/PPF the same as xpel film?

Of course, our clients at HHCC frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film. Naturally, our clients want to know if Legend PPF, STEK, Llumar, Kavaca, and other brands compares to Xpel at all. Did you know, a lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands? Besides the information above about clear bra/PPF, we also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as PPF/clear bra in this article.
