You can’t really hold the notion of free enterprise and crafty marketing against a company, thus let’s look at the real deal, the Scotch Guard. Scotch Guard is designed to eliminate odor, while preventing stains and dirt from penetrating its protective shield and still even promise not to leave behind any chemical residue that can be harmful to pets or small children. a b Kellyn S.

Even a malicious scratch or scuff from people walking by in a car park may not penetrate down to the paintwork unless the vandal is really dedicated. This solution may not be the best option for most car owners, but if you are serious about protecting your paintwork, or have an expensive sports or luxury car, it can provide the best levels of protection. When you wash your car, you can add a car wax and sealant, either during the shampoo stage or afterwards when the car has been dried to bring a small layer of protective coating to the paintwork.
