How Long Does a Single Car Glaze Treatment Last?
2 Answers
Car glaze treatment can last for about six months, and it must be performed at a professional service shop. Here are some additional relevant details: Precautions for glaze treatment: 1. Do not wash the car with water within 8 hours after the glaze treatment, as the glaze layer has not fully solidified and will continue to penetrate during this period. Washing may remove the uncured glaze. 2. Try to avoid washing the car after the glaze treatment, as the product provides anti-static properties, so general dust can be wiped off with a clean, soft cloth. 3. Do not apply wax after the glaze treatment, as the wax layer may adhere to the surface of the glaze layer, which could affect the effectiveness of the glaze treatment due to the isolation of the wax layer when reapplying glaze.
How long can a glaze coating last? Based on my experience trying it several times, it usually lasts between 6 to 12 months. The exact duration depends on the car's condition and usage environment. For example, my car is often parked in an open parking space, exposed to summer sun and winter frost, and the glaze coating starts to lose its shine after a maximum of 8 months. The quality of application also matters—professional shops apply denser and more durable glaze layers. After each car wash, I make it a habit to feel the paint; if it feels rough, it's time to consider reapplying. The longest it lasted was when I maintained it weekly with a waterless car wash solution and took care to avoid tree sap and bird droppings, stretching it to a full year. In short, don't expect it to last forever; for new cars, it's best to check the glaze condition every six months.
