Read Every Panel
Accurate lacquer readings on every curve and contour
The NexPTG Standard Plus features a moveable measuring head that adapts to concave and convex body elements, so you get reliable readings whether you're on a flat door skin or a tightly curved wheel arch. Pair it with the SAPL system and you have a gauge that does the interpretation for you, not just the measuring.
Why NexPTG Standard Plus
Built for detailers who need answers, not just numbers
Fast measurement, automatic interpretation, and a companion app for full-vehicle analysis.
-
Automatic Result Reading
SAPL interprets every measurement and reports the substrate condition without manual cross-referencing.
-
Moveable Measuring Head
Adapts to concave and convex body elements for precise readings on complex panel shapes.
-
Dedicated Companion App
Map a full vehicle's lacquer condition panel by panel using the NexPTG iOS and Android app.
-
Interference Detection
Flags coating interference, filler and respray panels so you go into every job with full knowledge.
How It Compares
NexPTG Standard Plus vs a typical entry-level gauge
Entry-level thickness gauges give you a number and leave the interpretation to you. The Standard Plus takes it further with automatic analysis, a moveable head and a full app ecosystem - tools that save real time on a proper pre-detail inspection.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic coating analysis (SAPL) | Yes | No |
| Moveable head for curved panels | Yes | No |
| Dedicated companion app (Android and iOS) | Yes | No |
| Takes thickness readings | Yes | Yes |
| Works on standard flat body panels | Yes | Yes |
| Full-vehicle panel mapping | Yes | No |
Full-Body Analysis
Map an entire vehicle with the companion app
The dedicated NexPTG app for Android and iOS lets you capture and visualise thickness readings across every panel of a car in one session. Whether you're doing a pre-purchase inspection or assessing a car before correction, the app turns raw numbers into a clear picture of the lacquer's condition - fast.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does the SAPL system actually do?
SAPL stands for Lacquer Coating Analysis System. It automatically interprets the thickness readings the gauge takes and informs you about the current state of the substrate - so instead of cross-referencing numbers against a chart, the device tells you directly whether the reading is within normal range or indicates interference, a respray, or filler beneath the surface.
What surfaces can this gauge measure on?
The NexPTG Standard Plus is designed for measuring paint thickness on vehicle body panels. The moveable head allows accurate readings on both concave and convex elements, which covers the vast majority of body shapes including doors, bonnets, bumpers, quarter panels and arched surfaces.
Does it work on non-metallic substrates like plastic bumpers?
The source specifications do not detail substrate type compatibility beyond vehicle body panels. For specific substrate compatibility, we recommend contacting us before purchase so we can confirm the gauge suits your use case.
How do I use the companion app?
Download the NexPTG app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and pair it with your gauge. The app allows you to map measurements panel by panel across the entire vehicle and assists in interpreting the results, giving you a comprehensive visual overview of the lacquer coat's condition.
Is the app available on both Android and iOS?
Yes - the NexPTG companion app is available for both Android and iOS devices. Install it on your phone or tablet, and use it alongside the gauge for a full-body lacquer analysis with guided interpretation.
How accurate is the Standard Plus compared to the standard NexPTG?
The Standard Plus builds on the standard NexPTG by adding a moveable measuring head, which allows more precise readings on curved and contoured body sections. Both gauges feature the SAPL system, but the moveable head of the Standard Plus means fewer compromises when measuring complex panel shapes.
Can I use this gauge before applying a ceramic coating?
Absolutely - this is one of the most practical use cases for the gauge. Running a full-panel thickness check before a ceramic application lets you confirm the paint is sound, identify any panels that have been resprayed or have filler present, and set client expectations accordingly before you start correction or coating work.
What comes in the box with the NexPTG Standard Plus?
The source listing does not specify full box contents beyond the gauge itself. Contact us if you need clarification on included accessories before placing your order.
