Frequently asked questions
-
What makes Modesta different?
The longevity, durability, hardness, and visual appearance of the coatings. Modesta coatings are exclusive coatings only available to a select number of installers worldwide. Modesta creates its own membrane on the surface of the vehicle. The same coatings have been applied and tested for over 15 years while we’ve (SD) been personally installing and testing these coatings since 2016. We have tried many coatings over the last 10 years and choose Modesta because it is the best!

How do I Prevent Water Spots from Staining my Modesta Coating?
Calcium and Magnesium minerals in water can deposit themselves on your paint with or without a coating. While the coating's hydrophobic properties keep much of the water from sticking to the car at all, special care should be taken. We recommend ensuring only soft water sources where possible when washing. Ultimately, eliminating standing water from drying on the paint is the only way to keep water spots from affecting the paint finish with staining or discoloration.

Do Modesta coatings require skill to install?
The level of difficulty in applying the coatings varies. BC-04, 05, Private Label, 06 require hands-on training and skills verification by a small number of worldwide Modesta distributors – AND, it is very easy to fail at the application process and potentially damage paintwork
-
How do you prepare the surface?
PREPARATION is KEY – Modesta makes products to ensure the coating bonds properly. We use Modesta compounds and P01-A Primer (machine applied) to prep the paint after wash/correction/polish. Do other coating brands do this?
-
Does Modesta offer professional development?
Modesta offers a Bi-annual PlusCon conference where Modesta’s original chemist (Tomo) discusses the chemistry of the coating and educates installers on many different topics. Tomo is still to this day testing coatings that were applied 15 years ago. He routinely posts educational videos and topics on our Modesta Facebook page.
