Does Rainy Weather Affect Crystal Coating?
2 Answers
Rainy weather does not affect crystal coating. Here is detailed information about vehicle crystal coating: 1. Definition: Vehicle crystal coating provides reliable paint surface sealing technology for the car's paint. Crystal coating efficiently and durably protects the car's paint, preventing environmental factors from affecting the paint's color. Vehicles with crystal coating are more corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easier to clean. 2. Precautions: Genuine crystal coating films are expensive, and ordinary vehicles generally do not come equipped with them. Manufacturers often use cheap materials as substitutes to profit, leading to a decline in the quality of the coating film. Additionally, the quality of commonly used crystal coating films on the market generally does not last more than a year.
I specifically asked the technician right after getting my car paint ceramic coated, and indeed rainy days have an impact but don't stress too much. The most critical period is the first two days after application when the crystalline layer hasn't fully hardened - rainwater could wash away the coating and leave uneven patches. If it does get rained on, just dry it promptly. The real concern is long-term acid rain corrosion; my neighbor's car developed foggy marks on the paint surface because of this. Light rain actually helps test the coating's effectiveness - watch if water beads up like dewdrops rolling off. I recommend scheduling ceramic coating for new cars on sunny days, but if caught in rain, use a car cover. Regular maintenance is key - reapplying protective solution every six months keeps you worry-free.
