What is Supagard?
When you purchase a new car, you want to keep it in pristine condition. The best way to do this is to use paintwork protection product to make the surfaces more durable and resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
The car dealership you bought your car from may have mentioned the add-on ‘Supagard protection’, but you may be wondering; “What is a Supagard treatment?”, “Is it worth the money?” or “Will it benefit my new car?”
Below we explain what Supagard is, how Supagard works to protect your car’s paintwork and the benefits of having a Supagard treatment applied to your vehicle.
What is Supagard?
Supagard is the UK’s market leading car paint protection company, established for over 25 years and approved by most leading car manufacturers.
Environment pollutants can damage the gleam of your car’s paintwork. To maintain the shine of a new car, your car needs to be protected – this is where Supagard comes in.
Once a Supagard treatment has been applied by a trained professional, it will defend your car’s paintwork against whatever the environment throws at it. Less hard work required on your part too, just a quick wash and your car is looking as good as the day it left the showroom!
What does Supagard protect paintwork against?
Supagard will protect your vehicle’s paintwork from UV Rays, Acid/Alkaline Rain, Road Salt, Bird Droppings, Mud and Dirt, but to achieve the fantastic results it’s supposed to, it must be applied by a fully trained specialist
How does Supagard work?
The unique Supagard formula creates a strong polymer barrier bound to the car’s paintwork, meaning UV rays cannot penetrate the sealant barrier of Supagard and lighten the colour of the vehicle. The paint sealant found in Supagard prevents acid rain and pollution from touching the paint’s surface, so there is no risk of the paintwork oxidising or fading. Supagard also stops road salt and dirt clinging to the smooth surface, so the paintwork remains protected.
You can then simply wash away the dirt and mud without harmingthe paintwork.

What is the alternative to Supagard protection?
The main alternative to Supagard is the AutoGlym LifeShine, which protects the vehicle’s paintwork against harsh containments with ‘Carbon Shield Technology’.
AutoGlym works in the same way as Supagard, by fusing a protective barrier to the car’s paintwork, so it stays shinier for longer.
