Is It Necessary to Apply Glaze on a New Car?
1 Answers
For new car models with thicker paint, applying glaze is temporarily unnecessary; it can be done after the original car wax wears off or the new car period passes. For models with thinner and softer paint, applying glaze is advisable as it provides better protection for the paint. Benefits of applying glaze: The non-stick property of glaze makes the paint surface less prone to dirt, keeping it clean. After applying glaze, the glaze layer increases the hardness and brightness of the paint surface, effectively protecting it from minor scratches and, to some extent, resisting temperature effects on the paint. Applying glaze to an old car can restore the shine to oxidized and faded paint. Glaze offers UV resistance, acid rain protection, oxidation resistance, anti-static properties, corrosion resistance, and wash durability, effectively reducing the roughness of the paint surface, minimizing friction with the external environment, and better protecting the paint. Drawbacks of applying glaze: Since glaze is derived from petroleum, it oxidizes easily in the air. Once oxidized, it not only loses its protective effect but also causes the paint to oxidize along with it, harming the paint to some extent. Additionally, the high-speed vibration polishing machine used during the glazing process, if used frequently, can damage the paint surface, making it more fragile.
