Is it necessary to seal glaze on a new car?
1 Answers
For new car models with thicker paint, sealing glaze is temporarily unnecessary. You can wait until the original car wax wears off or after the new car period to seal the glaze. For models with thinner and softer paint, sealing glaze can be chosen to better protect the paint. The glaze sealing technology utilizes the non-stick property of glaze, making the paint surface less prone to contamination and keeping it clean. After sealing the glaze, the glaze layer can increase the hardness and brightness of the paint surface, effectively protecting it from minor scratches and, to some extent, resisting the effects of temperature on the car paint. Sealing glaze on a new car can maintain the paint's gloss, while on an old car, it can restore the gloss of oxidized and faded paint. Glaze sealing has functions such as UV resistance, acid rain protection, oxidation resistance, anti-static, corrosion resistance, and water wash durability, effectively reducing the roughness of the paint surface, minimizing friction with the external environment, and better protecting the paint. Another method to protect the car paint is waxing. The difference between car glaze sealing and waxing lies in their components: the main component of glaze sealing is derived from petroleum, while waxing uses natural or synthetic wax as the main component. The tools used are also different: glaze sealing requires a specialized vibration polishing machine, whereas waxing only needs a waxing sponge to apply the car wax. The durability also varies: glaze sealing can last about 3 months, while waxing typically lasts 1-2 months.
