The eye-catching elegance of a Lincoln depends largely on the sophisticated color palette and glossy appeal of its paintwork. If you wish to preserve your luxury car’s good looks, invest in paint protection with the help of your Lincoln dealership. There are a few options for this.

4 Ways To Preserve Your Lincoln’s Paint With Professional Care

Ceramic Coating 

One of the most effective ways to protect automobile paintwork is with ceramic coating, a long-lasting chemical polymer that adds a hydrophobic layer of shielding over the clear coat. The chemical bonding nature of ceramic coating means it doesn’t break down under ordinary weather conditions, including UV rays from sunlight. 

It’s very long-lasting; you can apply either permanent or semi-permanent versions of ceramic coating. This popular solution also gives the paintwork an additional visual depth and gleam. 

Paint Sealant 

Another long-term solution is paint sealant, a synthetic polymer-based compound that adheres firmly onto the paint and protects against UV rays, heat, rain, and minor scratches. Sealants add a mirror-like sheen that looks fantastic. 

Unlike ceramic coating, sealants can typically be used in combination with wax. There are all kinds of different paint sealants with differing qualities. Ask our technicians for recommendations for your Lincoln. 

Premium Paste Wax

Unless you’ve applied ceramic coating, you should wax your car two or three times a year. High-quality wax protects the clear coat and adds an alluring shine. Some wax can even repair minor scratches and blemishes. It’s best to use superior paste wax on your Lincoln, rather than liquid spray forms of wax.

Protection Film

A very high level of protection is achieved with the application of protective thermoplastic urethane to portions of the car’s paneling. This remarkably durable, flexible layer of plastic film is extremely resistant to anything that would normally leave a scratch or mark. Most impressively of all, thermoplastic urethane can heal itself over time if it does become marred by a scratch or swirl. 

Many drivers use protection film only on the parts of their car that are most susceptible to wear and tear. If you find yourself frequently driving along dusty, stony roads or salty surfaces during winter, you might want to consider this option. Even though it’s a layer of plastic film, thermoplastic urethane blends perfectly with and even enhances the aesthetics of the car when professionally applied.
