Due to constant sun exposure, your car paint will typically oxidise and fade over time. Paint protection is hence useful in helping your car retains it original colour, shine and gloss.
Paint protection is essentially a type of invisible coating that’s applied over your car’s paintwork and acts as a protective layer. The goal is to protect the paint against damages from stones, bird droppings and fading. However, do note that it’ll not protect against larger dents and scrapes.

Unlike waxing and glass coating, nano ceramic coating is a stronger, protective car layer that is more durable. Even though more costly at the start, the advanced technology invested in ceramic coating can last you longer than waxing and glass coating, saving you money in the long turn.
The paint protection improves your car clear coat and paint’s reflective properties, giving it enhanced gloss. It also makes your car hydrophobic and thus easier to clean. It’s also cost-effective, eliminates the need for car wax and keeps your car cleaner for longer. Hence, nano ceramic coating is one of the highly recommended car paint protection type due to low maintenance.
Car paint protection for your new car is worth it when the service is performed by a specialist or reputable car dealer. If used properly, paint protection can protect your car from scratches and give it a glossy shine.
We recommend car paint protection only for new cars or within a year after purchase to protect the color of your car. Otherwise, your car would need professional paint correction and car detailing to restore your car’s new look.

Similar to a diamond, 9H ceramic coating is the latest revolutionary product that creates a superior layer on surfaces to keep them strong and shiny. Also known as “Liquid Ceramic”, our 9H ceramic coating simply transforms from a transparent liquid to a transparent 9H pencil-hardness ceramic film when applied on surfaces.
The ceramic barrier seals the underlying surface against contact with the environment and provides hydrophobic properties, scratch resistance, anti-stain functionality and acid/alkaline resistance.
The KubeBond series of coatings not only passed a series of stringent quality control tests, but are also SGS certified. UV aging test, thermal shock aging test and humidity aging test are used to assess our coating product to ensure the quality over a long period of time.
Through UV degradation testing via specialised equipment, we are able to simulate years of UV and water damage on outdoor objects in weeks or even days. These damages include: discolouration, colour change, loss of gloss, powderisation, cracks, blurriness, embrittlement, loss of structural integrity and oxidation.
Diamond 9H is similar to water due to its clear and transparent nature. The product is in its liquid form in a bottle but after application cures into a hard, rigid film like glass to protect the substrate permanently. The Diamond 9H has been through the pencil hardness test, a relative concept with hardness ranging from 1H to 9H, the latter being the hardest. Most global car care coating products do not have a real thickness and hardness.
The Diamond 9H hardness test result was 9H, using JIS5400 testing regulations, certified by SGS.
Our high definition optical lenses measure and calculate the surface tension, CMC, pendant drop contour, Gibbs free energy and the contact angle of different liquids on different material such as bulk materials, fibre material, and fabrics. This equipment helps us to develop a KubeBond product series that has exceptional hydrophobic performance.
This superior hydrophobic effect allows for water to bead up on treated surfaces and, with just a slight tilt, the droplets will slide off the surface achieving the self-cleaning effect and carrying dirt and harmful contaminants away with it.
The first step is a car wash. This is one of the most important steps of car detailing as it gets all the dirt and debris off, and preps it for the rest of the detailing process.
Check with detailers to understand what types of washes they offer!
Claying is done when your car feels rough to the touch even after the wash. A clay bar pulls all the contamination, dust and debris off the surface.
Depending on the condition of your car, a detailer might opt to use a light, medium or heavy duty clay bar. It is important to check if your detailer does claying as any remaining contamination would cause micro scratches to your paint in the polishing stage.
Depending on your car’s main condition, the next step would be different. For cars with bad condition paint (heavy swirls, scratches and defects), they will require a heavy duty abrasive polish in order to smoothen these imperfections. This compounding process will improve your paint to a moderate condition.
A moderate paint condition is generally well-maintained but still contain light swirls and damage from normal driving. These two steps will remove any remaining swirls and smoothen the finish to a glass-like reflective texture when done by a professional.
Now that your paint is in a good condition without any swirls and marks, your car might go through glazing to further smoothen the texture and clarity.
Once your car looks perfect, a sealant or wax will be used to protect your vehicle from water spots, acid rain, UV rays and oxidation among others. Finally, a quick detailing will remove any remaining fingerprints and oils.
A professional detailer will take the time to inspect your car and note any imperfections such as small scratches that they would have to fix before quoting you.
Therefore, it is best to consult with them to understand the work involved and what to expect before starting any work.
While it is tempting to settle for the cheapest deal out there, what you pay for is what you get in most cases, when it comes to car detailing. High quality detailing is priced as such because of the investment of time and money put into professional tools to ensure every little detail on your car is addressed, and comes out looking perfect.
On the other hand, when done incorrectly, detailing actually does more damage to your car than good in the long run. Therefore, when looking out for deals, be conscious when prices are significantly lower than competitors.
Professional detailers will be proud of the high quality tools and products that they use to ensure your car comes out looking perfect. Ask them about it, and it is likely that they will be happy to explain the reason for choosing them.
In today’s digital age, it is easy to find information on most businesses. One good way to learn more about the work of a car detailer is to search for reviews online.
It is important to look out for the attention to details, service quality as well as the consistency of their work. It is advised to reach out to a number of detailers to enquire before settling for one.
Grabiel took his time to explain and demo on the products they use for car glooming. I did a ceramic coating and interior glooming on my 3 years old car looks so fantastic. I was shock at first by the outlook of my car now looks like a brand new 1st hand car. The result is indeed worth the money spent. During the grooming process he keep me update with picture and video of before and after result. Attention to all the car lovers this is definitely the right place to pamper your car. Hmm.. enough said to see is to believe. I am looking forward to the 1st car wash service by them. Thank you Gabriel and team for the effort and handwork your guys put into my car.
They were very professional. During the inquiry process, Mike was extremely patient in explaining the process and perks of the ceramic coating. When the car was finally in the shop, he provided a stage by stage update over whatsapp (with pictures).
Gabriel, the owner, was also thoroughly hands-on. He was personable and ensured an added assurance that the workmanship would be top notch!
If you enjoy quality service and workmanship, New Age is definitely a place worth considering.
This is definitely one good place to go and pamper your car. The dedication and professionalism displayed by Gabriel and his very competent team of specialists is worth our two thumbs up. As recommended by Gabriel, I did my first car wash back at New Age today after my coating done a couple of days back. I guess the shine on my car has doubled or tripled. I have heard many good reviews of New Age and Gabriel, and indeed I would say great job done man. Go have your coat done too if you haven’t, and I bet you would resonate my views. Thanks, New Age, for redefining car beauty to another level!
