Can the Second Coating Be Applied Directly?
3 Answers
Yes, the second coating can be applied directly. Here is an introduction to ceramic coating: 1. Function: Ceramic coating is the most advanced car paint protection solution available, offering advantages such as corrosion resistance, scratch prevention, no cracking, and easy cleaning. It protects the vehicle from minor daily scratches, and even when external forces exceed the elastic protection range of the coating, it usually only leaves marks on the coating without damaging the paint. 2. Duration: Ceramic coating provides long-lasting and stable performance, maintaining protection for 1-2 years, effectively safeguarding the car's paint. However, ceramic coating is relatively expensive, typically requiring about 2 days of labor, and demands high technical skills from the technician.
Don't just apply the second ceramic coating directly. When maintaining my car's paint, I found that if the old coating isn't removed, the new one won't adhere properly and may peel or bubble. It's best to thoroughly wash the car first, gently polish off any residue with a polishing machine, then clean the surface with a degreaser before applying the new ceramic coating. This ensures long-lasting protection and a shiny finish. Maintaining a car is like tending to flowers—it requires careful attention. Also, don't apply ceramic coatings too frequently; generally, every six months to a year is sufficient, as over-treatment can damage the paint. Pay attention to your washing methods—avoid using hard-bristle brushes to prevent scratches and keep the paint clean for longevity.
I often apply ceramic coating myself. If it's your second time, never apply it directly over the old layer. The old coating remains on the car, making it impossible for the new one to adhere properly, and it fails quickly, wasting your money. Remember to wash the car thoroughly and polish off the old coating before starting a new application. I once took a shortcut and applied it directly, only to find the paint peeling faster, which I deeply regretted. Now, I regularly check the paint condition and address any wear promptly. Keeping the paint well-protected ensures safety and peace of mind while driving. Saving money and hassle is what really matters.
