Is Crystal Coating Suitable for New Cars?
3 Answers
New cars need crystal coating within half a year. Crystal coating can protect the car paint and make the car look more shiny and glossy. The introduction of crystal coating is as follows: Function of Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective coating specifically designed for key areas of a car, including the paint surface, glass, tires, rims, seats, engine, interior, and exterior trim. Its main function is to provide anti-contamination and anti-scratch protection for the paint surface. Basic Requirements for Crystal Coating: The basic requirement for crystal coating is that the material used is SIO2 inorganic substance, which can form several structures on the application surface. Typically at the molecular nano-level, it forms an isolation layer on the application surface through the action of polymer compounds.
Getting a new car coated with crystal is actually a great choice. I had it done right after picking up my new car. The paint surface is at its cleanest and smoothest when new, allowing the crystal coating to form a transparent protective layer directly without the need for polishing first. I had my old car coated before, and it really does protect against corrosive substances like tree sap and bird droppings, plus the paint maintains its shine longer under the sun. However, pay attention to the quality of the application—a friend of mine went for a cheap option and ended up with an uneven coating. After the coating, regular car washes become much easier as water beads roll off on their own. It's advisable to get it done within the first three months of owning a new car when the paint hasn't been contaminated yet, as the coating can last 1-2 years. Use a neutral detergent during weekly washes and avoid direct high-pressure water jet sprays.
Getting a ceramic coating for your new car before hitting the road is quite wise. The car paint is like a new phone screen – it's best to apply protection early. I've researched that this layer of silicon dioxide crystals can block UV rays and delay paint fading. Last week, I saw my neighbor's uncoated new car develop spots from acid rain. Be sure to choose a reputable shop for the application – once at a roadside shop, they even smeared sealant on the rubber trims. The most noticeable benefit post-coating is worry-free rainy seasons, with water beading right off without leaving marks. When parked, my car got bumped by a neighboring door recently, but upon close inspection, there wasn't a scratch. Remember not to wash the car for the first few days after application to let the coating fully cure.
