Should a new car be waxed or coated with crystal?

Waxing is inferior to crystal coating; waxing is cheaper than crystal coating. The price of a single waxing is less than one-tenth of crystal coating, which has no advantage in this regard. Crystal coating requires higher technical skills from the construction personnel and a better construction environment, and it takes more time. In terms of durability: a single waxing usually lasts 1-2 months, while crystal coating is more durable, generally lasting about 1 year. There are two types of waxing: one is direct waxing, which is relatively simple and has the lowest price, starting at around 350 yuan in first-tier cities. It is suitable for new cars and cars without scratches. After washing the car, car wax is directly applied to the surface. Just like applying a layer of cream directly to our face after washing, it forms a thin protective layer between the car and the air, preventing rainwater, dust, etc. from directly contacting the car paint, thus protecting the car paint. This protection is also the weakest. Generally, it will be washed off after two car washes. "Crystal" is actually a type of glass cellulose, called "crystal" because of its gloss, with the scientific name of full silane. It exists in liquid form. After curing, it forms a transparent protective layer on the car paint surface, isolating external substances from damaging the paint. At the same time, the protective layer itself has a certain hardness, just like applying a tempered film to a mobile phone.
