What is Lamin-X?

Steve Rodriguez | January 7, 2010

There are variety of reasons for a car owner to add a layer of protection for his vehicle, including the climate, damage from other cars, and normal wear and tear. These days, few people keep the same vehicle for more than a few years. When the time arrives to trade in your vehicle, it is important to keep it looking nice. In order to ensure you get the best value when the time comes for trading in, you need to keep the car in tip-top shape, avoiding all situations that may cause damage. This is exactly why you want protection. With Lamin-X, you can protect the exterior paint job, as well as frequently damaged areas like head and tail lights.

Some car owners have the time and motivation to clean and wax their cars a few times each week. This keeps the car in like-new condition, but is not an option for most car owners. When a car is brand new, it is easy to keep clean. But as time passes, it can be more difficult to wash and wax it each weekend. Paint sealants offer car owners an alternative to waxing that requires little effort to maintain. Instead of intensive labor every few weeks, the Lamin-X sealant film is used once and works for years.

Sealants not only require less work, but they actually provide more protection than regular waxing. In addition to wearing off, they are also less durable and do less to protect against UV radiation, environmental pollution, and road debris. The film also makes a car more resistant to dirt, which means you will need to wash the car less frequently. The paint surface of your car is fragile and will be damaged by normal exposure to the elements. The surfaces may become pitted and chipped, and within a few years, your car will lack that shiny, new-looking appearance of a perfect paint job. The Lamin-X paint shields are made of 8-millimeter thick, clear film, strong enough to protect against nicks and chips.

Protection for Lights

In addition to protecting the paint job, you can also have protective films applied to the tail- and headlights. According to owner Steve Rodriguez, “We’ve mastered (the installation). It’s a nice, clean look, (and you can have) blue or red taillights.” Steve’s machines custom cut the films so they mold to the curves of your car’s style of lights. Rodriguez points out, “Headlights are plastic and get pounded by debris. Lamin-X shields it and keeps headlights looking great. (The film) also prevents the UV ray damage that can make lights look foggy.” Lamin-X protective light films help your car retain its value. Colored films can also provide a decorative touch to your vehicle, giving it a unique look.
