Is it necessary to perform glaze sealing, coating, or crystal plating treatment on a new car?
2 Answers
New cars do not require glaze sealing, coating, or crystal plating treatments within the first six months of purchase. The need for waxing or glaze sealing can be determined based on usage conditions, age, and the oxidation level of the car paint. If waxing or glaze sealing is required, minimize the use of polishing machines on the car paint. Below is information about glaze sealing, coating, and crystal plating: 1. Glaze Sealing: A specialized vibrating polishing machine is used to press glaze into the car paint, forming a mesh-like protective film. 2. Coating: Based on traditional polishing techniques, a spray gun is used to evenly apply a coating polymer onto the car paint, forming a protective film on the surface. High-quality coating products can significantly enhance the gloss of the paint, improving its durability and anti-aging properties. 3. Crystal Plating: A layer of strong protective crystals and a UV filter is formed on the car's surface, enhancing the brightness and hardness of the paint, preventing scratches, and protecting against harmful substances such as UV rays, acid rain, salt, asphalt, overspray, insect spots, sand, and bird droppings.
As an average car owner who has driven for several years, I feel that new cars don't necessarily need immediate paint sealing or coating treatments. The factory-applied clear coat on new car paint acts like a protective film, and regular washing with waxing can maintain it well for quite some time. If you usually park indoors with minimal exposure to wind and rain, skipping these treatments to save money won't cause major issues. However, if your car is frequently parked outdoors under sun exposure or rain, getting a ceramic coating can indeed protect against UV oxidation and minor scratches, extending the paint's lifespan. The key is not to be rushed by sales pitches—wait a few months to observe the paint's condition, such as susceptibility to staining or water spots, before deciding. Base your decision on budget: ceramic coatings are more expensive but longer-lasting, while economical paint protection films suffice for daily protection.
