Owning a Bentley is more than simply car ownership, it’s an entire experience and way of life. The Bay Area is home to many Bentleys that are perfect in the mountainous coastal region. Because purchasing a Bentley is an investment many buyers take seriously, they almost always search for ways to protect their investment. While a garage and auto insurance are great, there are other practical, more functional ways to protect your new Bentley, including paint protection film and window tint. In today’s post, we’ll discuss just a few of the things that PPF protects Bentleys from in Brentwood and the entire California coast.
California’s Bay Area has a higher-than-average UV index rating for the majority of the days between March and October, making golf a sport that requires additional protective measures in the same way your Bentley should be safeguarded. If your Bentley is not stored in a garage at home and parked in a covered area during working hours, you’re likely to see paint fading over time. Paint protection film is made of UV-resistant materials that act as a sunscreen to provide protection against sunburn and fading on your car’s surface. Since the sun shines down on Central California more often than not, it’s a no-brainer to invest in PPF for your Bentley.
Here in coastal California, we are blessed with beautiful sandy beaches and salty sea breezes that offer a carefree style of living. Along with gorgeous views and sun-tanned skin come the microparticles that threaten your Bentley’s paint job. Tiny grains of sand cause the same problems on your car as they do under an oyster’s tongue. Micro-abrasions in vehicle paint may expand into large scratches and allow moisture to penetrate and rust to accumulate. Sea salt combined with humid conditions threatens vehicles with rust and corrosion, most notably on the undercarriage and wheel wells. Paint protection film is a transparent shield between your Bentley’s body and the sand and salt of the California beaches we call home.
It is well known that Central California continues to suffer from acidic conditions in the air and water around us. Largely due to contaminants and pollutants, these highly acidic levels are toxic to humans, animals, vegetation, and structures as well as vehicles. Acid rain and fog that are common in the Bay Area erode materials much quicker than pH-balanced weather and runoff in less contaminated areas. To add to the concern, Coastal California is rich with mild temperatures and coastal sea creatures that make it a place for birds to flock to by the thousands. Bird droppings are highly acidic and fall from the sky like toxic globs of paint-eroding bombs. Paint protection film is water-wicking and easy to clean, helping keep rain and bird droppings from reaching your Bentley’s surface.
Weather is a factor in vehicle condition and lifespan everywhere. Those in the south deal with extreme sun-fading, while drivers in the far north deal with extreme cold that affects engine performance and ice salt that breaks down the undercarriage. Here in coastal California, the weather is a threat to your Bentley in different ways. Brentwood car owners see more issues with high humidity and frequent hail. Luckily California hail is rarely larger than an inch, which is what often does the most damage. However, smaller chunks of hail, sleet, and graupel, can cause aesthetic and functional damage to your Bentley. PPF is not completely hail-proof, it but does provide some protection against denting and warping. What paint protection film is good for is protecting your car’s body from rust and erosion caused by moisture and constant humidity. Global® Paint Protection Film is a water-proof shell that whisks the water and moisture away from your car’s paint, keeping the body dry. When you live in an area where weather plays a big role in vehicle health, it’s a good idea to invest in high-quality paint protection film.
California combines a variety of factors that make it the perfect home for air and water pollution. With more than 39 million people calling the mountainous terrain home combined with a warm climate that supports ozone formation and a solid collection of other pollutants, the Bay Area consistently surpasses the national average in air and water pollution. Common California pollutants include ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. These pollutants are toxic to your Bentley’s paint and body causing peeling, rusting, and erosion. Paint protection film is a transparent shield that offers a barrier between your vehicle and the pollution it is exposed to. To prevent the environment from deteriorating your Bentley, invest in PPF today.
There are more than 30 million vehicles on California roadways and the coast is home to some of the most congested cities in North America, making parking conditions insanely crowded. These conditions result in more door dings and accidental scratches than anywhere else in the United States. Congested roadways and crowded parking lots can easily result in scratches, gouges, dents, and, intentional key marks. High-quality PPF acts as an invisible, highly durable shield between your Bentley and the millions of other vehicles and people around it. This is great news for vehicle owners of all makes and models who want to avoid the high paint repair costs of driving cars without protection.
