Can I Use Coating Agent on a New Car?
2 Answers
Yes, generally, paint coating agents can be applied to new cars. Long-lasting protection: Most products can last for about a year. Low cost: After applying the coating product, routine maintenance such as car washing will be reduced, saving both time and maintenance costs. High hardness: Since coating products form a high-hardness film on the car paint, they provide strong protection and effectively safeguard the paint. Enhanced appearance: After coating, a colorless transparent glass-like film is formed on the exterior of the car paint, making the paint look more glossy.
I've been driving for over a decade, and it's best to apply a coating agent to a new car immediately. The paint is at its cleanest and smoothest when it first leaves the factory, allowing the coating to adhere better and provide long-term protection. It can prevent fading caused by UV rays, protect against acid erosion from bird droppings, and even prevent minor scratches. I applied a ceramic coating to my car within the first week of purchase, and now, three years later, the paint still looks as shiny as new. Dirt washes off easily with just a rinse, saving both time and money. Choosing a product with a good reputation is key—don’t skimp and buy low-quality products. The application is simple: after thoroughly washing the car, use a dedicated sponge to apply the coating evenly, working in small sections to prevent it from drying too quickly. One thing to note is that coatings on new cars last longer, typically at least a year and a half, making them much more cost-effective than regular waxing.
