Does Glazing Harm Car Paint?

[McLilah]

Glazing does harm car paint. Everything has two sides, and glazing is no exception. Glazing affects car paint because the glaze composition is derived from petroleum, which oxidizes easily in the air. Once oxidized, it not only loses its protective effect but also causes the paint to oxidize, damaging the paint to some extent. Additionally, the high-speed vibration of the polishing machine used during glazing, if frequently applied, can weaken the paint surface, making it more fragile. Below are the benefits of glazing: 1. The non-stick property of glaze makes the paint surface less prone to contamination, keeping it clean. 2. After glazing, the glaze layer increases the hardness and brightness of the paint, effectively protecting it from minor scratches and, to some extent, resisting temperature effects on the paint. Glazing can also restore the shine of oxidized and faded paint on older cars. 3. Glazing provides UV resistance, acid rain protection, oxidation resistance, anti-static properties, corrosion resistance, and water wash durability. It effectively reduces the roughness of the paint surface, minimizes friction with external elements, and better protects the paint.
