It can form a sturdy protective layer on the car paint, making it less prone to scratches. It easily integrates with the car paint, allowing for effortless cleaning of all hard-to-clean areas on the paint, leaving the car paint glossy and looking like new. Its coating layer is extremely durable and difficult to wash off, thus providing long-lasting protection for the car paint.

Speaking of car gold plating, I've modified several cars myself and have some experience. Actually, the mainstream method now is applying gold plating film, which is much cheaper than real electroplating. First, wash the car thoroughly, even using degreaser on door gaps, as dust affects adhesion. Professional installers use heat guns while applying the film, and complex curves like side mirrors and door handles require precision cutting - it really tests their skills. After application, avoid water contact for three days, and revisit after a week to check for edge lifting. For true electroplating, you must completely remove the original paint and apply four layers of copper, nickel, chromium, and gold in an electroplating tank - the cost could buy you a new car. Honestly though, the shiny gold surface easily shows scratches and water stains become very noticeable after rain.
