The Pros and Cons of Car Glazing
2 Answers
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of car glazing: 1. Advantages: The benefit of car glazing is that it adds a protective film to the car's paint surface, not only enhancing the paint's shine but also providing anti-oxidation properties. Additionally, its UV protection function helps minimize damage from sunlight. Moreover, it offers features such as high-temperature resistance, sealing, anti-oxidation, gloss enhancement, wash durability, and corrosion resistance. 2. Disadvantages: The downside is that glaze, being a petroleum product, has certain corrosive properties. Frequent glazing can cause some damage to the car's paint. Furthermore, after a car has been treated with glazing, it cannot be switched to waxing or other paint surface treatments; only continued glazing is possible.
I've applied glaze to quite a few cars, and its biggest advantage is that it adds a sturdy protective film to the paint. It shields against UV rays, prevents paint aging, and makes the car look super shiny. Dust or dirt usually washes right off, saving the hassle of frequent car washes. The downside? It's not cheap, typically costing several hundred to over a thousand yuan, and requires a trip to a detailing shop. If not applied properly, it can bubble or peel, and the effects usually last only six months to a year before needing reapplication. I'd suggest regular waxing can achieve similar results, but glazing is better for owners seeking long-term protection.
