Modesta is a small, boutique manufacturer of high-end paint protection coatings based in Takamatsu, Japan. Through the years, Modesta has gained worldwide reputation for engineering the most exclusive products in the segment, while staying true to values, that have shaped not only our business but the whole industry.
The company traces its origins back to 2005, being one of the oldest companies in the business of automotive coatings. As a pioneer of the industry, Modesta was the first to introduce a series of innovations, nowadays mimicked by many competitors, including mandatory infra-red curing. Modesta Coatings are only available to meticulously trained professionals with 50 miles territory between each installer.
To grasp the significance of IR curing, it's essential to delve into the composition of ceramic coatings and why their curing is imperative. Coatings, whether for consumer or professional application, typically comprise exclusive blends of silica dioxide, titanium dioxide, and assorted carrier solvents. Similar to automotive paints or clear coats, these solvents evaporate during curing, a process known as off-gassing, leaving behind an exceptionally durable ceramic surface composed of SiO2 and TiO2, offering protection against surface damage.
Employing IR lamps for curing expedites the dissipation of these solvents, facilitating quicker and more thorough curing. This accelerated process results in coatings achieving full hardness sooner, sparing customers lengthy wait times for their vehicles and safeguarding against potential damage from environmental factors, especially in regions like New England. While the efficiency gains are notable, many coatings necessitate IR curing to attain desired levels of hardness, a process that could otherwise extend to weeks or months in conventional settings.
The Modesta professional-only paint protection glass coatings that we offer are extremely hard paint protection glass coatings that guards your paint and other surfaces against damage.
Modesta requires infrared curing lamps to cure the coatings which will add additional strength, resistance, and durability to the coating.
Our professional grade infrared curing lamps are 9000 watts which require 2 dedicated circuits of 30 amps. A typical curing time on a vehicle varies from 4-8 hours. We ensure that the coatings are cured properly, which requires constant temperature monitoring and is labor intensive.

BC-08 offers traces of zirconium which create great shine and luster on the paint while it's three dimensional matrix ensures excellent water repellency and self cleaning. The coating's thick layer acts as a self scarifying barrier to protect the finish of the vehicle from scratches and marring as well as adverse environmental effects.
BC-X is Modesta’s middle option for the protection of your vehicle. Placed between BC-08 and other coatings of our range, it offers excellent costs to performance ratio of the whole line. BC-X will improve the shine, gloss and overall look of your vehicle on the painted parts and refresh and protect plastic parts as well. Its exceptional hydrophobic water behavior will help to keep your vehicle clean for weeks with minimal maintenance requirements.
** Preferred coating for all longterm applications, paint protection film and vinyl wraps **
A coating that combines the best advantages of the original Pure Liquid Glass coatings and highest quality nanograde titanium. This combination creates a deeper shine and better reflections on the paint. The inorganic nature of the coating makes it fully resistant to oxidation. The hard physical barrier it creates also prevents paint from coming into contact with air and acts as a antiscratch protectant. Modesta BC-04 is capable to withstand temperatures of up to 900 °C.
The very best Modesta has to offer. Private Label combines the advantages of both organic and inorganic technologies, thus delivering unprecedented shine, protection, resistance and self-cleaning effect. The Private Label consists of two separate parts - an extremely thick and hard inorganic base coat and a super hydrophobic organic top coat. Both of them combine together during the application to form one durable protective layer, resistant to tar and asphalt from the roads, corrosion, oxidation, chemicals and mechanical damage. Modesta Private Label requires regular maintenance and yearly renewal. It delivers protection for up to 10 years and is especially suitable for the most exclusive vehicles that can take advantage of professional care.
Stain-resistance and ease of cleaning thanks to the hardness of the coating film are the most prominent characteristics of the BC-06 glass coating. This thin silica film made from perhydropolysilazane protects the car body and wheels from dust in raindrops that may penetrate soft paints or other painted surfaces and can be removed only with great effort. Thanks to the BC-06 protection washing is required less frequently. BC-06 undergoes a chemical reaction when it comes in contact with a painted surface, creating a hard glass coating. It has a tightly packed molecular structure that creates a solid, long-lasting surface. BC-06 is heatproof up to 1,300 °C - enough to protect wheels from burning-hot brake dust.
BC-M is a coating solution designed specifically for matte and satin surfaces – automotive paints as well as wraps and films, which has been tested for many years, with its development starting in 2017. The application of the coating provides excellent protection to matte surfaces with minimal added shine and enhanced saturation.
The Modesta Leather Protection System delivers exceptional protection to all leather and leather like surfaces in interiors of motor vehicles. This two component system is the only in the market that protects the precious surfaces from both - penetration by liquids and dirt as well as abrasion. The Base Protection stops liquids from penetrating into the surface, reduces color transfer and makes cleaning of the surface easier with less chemicals required. The Slider Abrasion Protection is a unique top coat designed especially for Modesta's Leather Protection System. It reduces surface friction on exposed parts of interiors (for example seat bolsters). Due to the reduced surface friction the exposed parts will last longer without showing signs of the usual wear and tear. This ensures longer durability of the surfaces and thus preserves the value of the vehicle.
A carefully formulated blend of silica resins, that add a microscopic hydrophobic layer on the surface of exterior glass of motor vehicles, which improves the visibility while driving through rain and helps in keeping the windscreen clean by inhibiting adhesion of insects, grime and other dirt to the glass. The hydrophobic characteristics of the coating also aid in removal of ice and snow in winter weather. Contains 15g of highest grade instant cerium oxide powder, prepared with suspension agents and emulsifiers, which is used as a abrasive deep cleaning agent before application of the coating itself.
The Modesta Exterior Plastic Coating is a unique blend of ingredients restoring uncoated exterior plastic parts of automobiles and other vehicles, by adding saturation and color depth. On weathered plastic parts with faded color, it will restore the original look and feel of the surface. At the same time, it will add protection against UV radiation and oxidation, thus prolonging the longevity of the material. The EPC is a state-of-the-art solution to protect the factory new plastic parts of vehicles as well, as it will not significantly modify the looks and feel of the plastic, while providing long term protection to them. The EPC contains no dyes.
