Does a new car need coating?

[VanKarter]

In principle, most car models do not require separate glass film. Generally speaking, vehicles priced above 100,000 RMB come with glass that already provides some level of heat insulation and UV protection, although the effect may not be very noticeable. Some higher-end models even feature built-in heat-insulating glass. The question of whether to coat a new car is quite a dilemma—if you skip it, the car's paint is often soft, and within days, it might be covered in scratches. For most products, don’t blindly follow the sales pitches from shops. Check whether the merchant has authorized certification for the product, and if still unsure, inspect the product before proceeding. It’s worth finding a truly trustworthy professional detailing shop. Coating is more expensive than waxing or glazing, mainly for two reasons: first, the products are different, and second, the protection for the car’s paint lasts longer. In practice, how long these products can actually last is still uncertain—currently, there are only experimental data, no real-world data.
