Is the Glaze Coating Offered by 4S Stores Worth Doing?
2 Answers
4S stores offer glaze coating services, but it is unnecessary for new cars. Below is relevant information about glaze coating: 1. Definition: It refers to the process of using soft wool or a sponge with a high-speed vibration and friction machine to forcefully penetrate glaze molecules into the surface and paint gaps of a car, leveraging the unique permeability and adhesion of the glaze. 2. Benefits: After glaze coating, the car's paint surface can achieve or even surpass the original paint effect, making older cars look newer and new cars brighter. It also provides features such as heat resistance, sealing, oxidation resistance, enhanced gloss, water wash resistance, and corrosion resistance, laying a foundation for future car detailing, painting, and refurbishment.
I think the paint sealing offered by 4S dealerships is still worth doing. Paint sealing is like putting a protective coat on your car's paint—it guards against UV rays, scratches, and acid rain corrosion. Even parking under trees won't easily damage the paint from bird droppings or tree sap. Free benefits shouldn't be passed up; paying out of pocket for this service elsewhere would cost at least 300-400 yuan. However, keep an eye out: first, ask what brand of sealant they're using—some shops might cut corners with cheaper products. Also, check if it's truly free or if there are hidden charges tied to other services. The process takes half a day, so pick a day when you don't need the car. New cars especially should get it done—protecting the factory paint can even help with resale value later on.
