The difference is in the process. Conventional paints or single stage paints, layer coats of color paint. These coats build the color, distribute the coverage, and add depth and durability to the paint surface. The exposed pigments of a single stage painted surface can be readily affected by the sun, neglect and the environment, causing oxidation. Clear Coat paint or 2 stage paint, covers the surface with a base coat, then sprays on a color coat, then finally adds layers of a "clear coat".

The clear coat finish gives your vehicle a "showroom shine" and protects the base coat from damage. ECO advises you to regularly clean and condition your vehicle's clear coat finish to ensure ultimate protection and luster.

A wet bra should never be left on a car.
