Kia EV3 New Car Package Review: From Inspection to Full Protectio
Kia EV3 Sail Grey New Car Package: Comprehensive inspection, Vertex tinting, PPF, and ceramic coating for ultimate protection and aesthetics.
Thorough Inspection is Crucial Before Accepting Your Kia EV3
The first and most critical step after receiving your new Kia EV3 is a comprehensive inspection. Even the latest models can have minor flaws from manufacturing or transit. For the EV3 Sail Grey, issues like dents on the driver's door trim and paint chips on the passenger door edge were identified during a re-inspection. These subtle defects are easily overlooked but must be addressed before finalizing the vehicle acceptance. A professional inspection ensures you receive your vehicle in optimal condition.
Our inspection process goes beyond a visual check. We conduct a detailed assessment of the interior and exterior, including checks for panel gaps and electrical system integrity, which is especially important for EVs. We provide real-time updates on the vehicle's condition, empowering you to make an informed decision about accepting the car.
The Ultimate Protection: Kia EV3 New Car Package
Once the vehicle is accepted, the new car package application begins. We offer various packages tailored to your needs. For the EV3 Sail Grey, the 'Basic Plus' package was selected, featuring a combination of Vertex 900 and 700 tinting films, Paint Protection Film (PPF) for daily wear and tear, and a ceramic coating for paint protection, along with a glass water-repellent coating. Additional services include a detailed inspection, genuine product warranty certificates, and ozone sterilization for a fresh interior.
Premium Window Tinting for Clarity and Comfort
Window tinting is a cornerstone of the new car package. The EV3 Sail Grey received Vertex 900 and 700 films with specific tint levels: 30% for the windshield, 35% for the front row, 15% for the rear rows and back, and 35% for the sunroof. Vertex films are renowned for their durability and exceptional heat rejection. The 900 series offers superior IR heat rejection (97%), keeping the cabin cooler in summer, while the 700 series provides privacy and clear visibility. Before application, meticulous masking and protective coverings are used to prevent any scratches or damage to the vehicle's exterior and interior.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating for Lasting Shine
PPF is applied to high-impact areas prone to scratches and chips, such as door edges, handles, and the front bumper. This clear film acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the original paintwork. Following PPF application, a ceramic coating is applied to the entire vehicle. This hydrophobic layer enhances gloss, provides UV protection, and makes cleaning significantly easier by repelling dirt and water. The glass water-repellent coating is applied to all exterior glass surfaces, ensuring clear visibility during rain.
The Transformation: A Flawless Kia EV3
After the complete new car package, the Kia EV3 Sail Grey is transformed. The tinting provides a sleek look and comfortable interior environment, while the PPF and ceramic coating offer robust protection against the elements and daily wear. The vehicle not only looks stunning but is also prepared to maintain its pristine condition for years to come.
