What are the precautions for car glazing?
2 Answers
There are several precautions to note for car glazing: 1. Do not wash the car with water within 8 hours after glazing. 2. Try to avoid washing the car after glazing treatment, as the product can prevent static electricity. Generally, dust can be wiped off with a clean and soft cloth. 3. Do not wax the car after glazing treatment, as the wax layer may adhere to the glaze surface, affecting the glazing effect due to the isolation of the wax layer when reapplying glaze. 4. Extension: Glazing involves using soft wool or a sponge with a high-speed vibration and friction machine to strongly penetrate glaze molecules into the car's surface and paint gaps, utilizing the glaze's unique permeability and adhesion.
When it comes to car glazing, I believe the most crucial part is not cutting corners with the preparation. The car body must be thoroughly cleaned—just a regular wash isn't enough. You need to use a degreaser to wipe it down, removing all dust and grease. Otherwise, dirt trapped under the glaze can damage the paint surface. Find a shady spot to work; avoid doing it under direct sunlight, as high temperatures can cause the glaze to dry too quickly, leading to bubbles or uneven application. The ideal temperature is around 20°C—too cold or too humid can affect the results. Choose the product based on your car's paint condition: use protective glaze for new cars and restorative glaze for older ones. Apply it with a small sponge pad using gentle circular motions, avoiding thick layers or excessive pressure—a thin, even coat is sufficient. After application, don't rush to touch it; wait patiently for 15-20 minutes until it dries completely and feels non-sticky. Removing it prematurely can leave unsightly marks. Regular glazing protects against UV rays and scratches, but improper application can shorten the protection period and increase future repair costs.
