Car grooming, also known as car detailing, involves thorough exterior and interior cleaning of your car. The type of cleaning that restores your car to an almost new state; where all marks and scratches disappear, all dirt and dander get cleaned out, and car paint looks vibrant and alive again.
Car grooming is the kind of cleaning you give your car when you want to revive the thrill you had when you first got it or when you want to sell it out for an amazing resale value. It doesn’t involve bodywork or painting but surprisingly come out spotless and bright.
New Age Polish provides professional car grooming services at Yishun and Jurong West for all your grooming needs.
Paint protection film protects your car against impact of environmental elements such as salts, oils, bug acids and acidic rain. It offers additional protection for the car paint and serves as a shield against wear and tear.
Paint protection film has the extra advantage of absorbing scratches. When exposed to some heat, the film causes marks and scratches to disappear completely.
Discolouration on certain car paints is developed over time due to the ageing of the gel beneath it. Paint protection films prevent your car paint from looking duller by maintaining its shine.

Ceramic coating for cars (also known as car paint protection) is a liquid polymer that bonds chemically with the car’s paint when applied to the surface. It forms a hydrophobic surface to protect the car’s paint.
On the other hand, paint protection film does not bond with the car’s paint but lies over it like an invisible skin. It is also thicker than ceramic coating. Here are some other differences between the two:
| Paint protection film | Ceramic coating | |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Thicker; Lies on top of vehicle like a layer of skin | Thinner; Bonds chemically with car’s paint |
| Ability to withstand environmental conditions | High | Mid |
| Removal of scratches | Self-healing properties: scratches will disappear over time with heat | Minor scratches may be removed with a thorough polish |
| Longevity | 5 - 7 years | 2 - 5 years |
| Cost | Higher | Lower than PPF |
PPF is completely safe to apply on cars! However, do ensure that you engage a professional to install the film as poor application may cause damage.
Yes, PPF is removable but cannot be reused after it has been removed. It’s best to get the film removed by a trained professional, and you’re advised to replace your PPF every 5 – 7 years.
Yes! Our STEK protection films can be applied to headlights for enhanced protection.
It depends on the package chosen. Opting for our Advanced Package may require 1 – 2 days, while the Extreme Plus Package may take 5 – 7 days. Contact us to enquire!
Indeed, you can confidently drive your car in the rain following a grooming and detailing session, as the sealant applied will not immediately wash away. Your car’s surface will maintain its shine and effectiveness for an extended period, typically around 6 months, subject to weather conditions.
PPFs typically last for 5 – 7 years, depending on the amount of wear and tear.
PPF is ideal for car owners looking for additional protection for their car surfaces. It provides a “second skin” for your vehicle and has self-healing properties as scratches tend to fade off with some heat.
The only trade-off is the higher cost (as compared to ceramic coating).
