Can the car be exposed to rain on the same day after color change film application?
1 Answers
It is not advisable for the car to be exposed to rain on the same day after color change film application. Within the first three days after applying the film, it is recommended to avoid washing the car to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture. Additionally, avoid using the rear window defogger for a week as moisture can adversely affect the defogger lines. Below are some methods for protecting the car's paint surface: 1. Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or after polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car and applying wax directly to the clear coat, while polishing waxing requires using a polishing machine before waxing, which can immediately make the car shine. 2. Glazing: Glaze is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged, typically lasting only 1~3 months. Moreover, glazing can harm the car's paint and needs to be reapplied every two to three months. 3. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for car paint, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, tires, and other key areas. It comes in quick-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by its main components. 4. Film Application: Car coating is a high-level protective measure that can brighten the paint surface and provide multiple benefits such as resistance to acid and alkali, high temperature, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.
