What are the pros and cons of car crystal coating?
2 Answers
Car crystal coating is a reliable paint sealing technology that provides efficient and long-lasting protection for the car's paint, preventing environmental factors from affecting the paint's color. The advantages and disadvantages of crystal coating are as follows: Pros: Scratch resistance—diamond crystal coating has high hardness, which can prevent most minor scratches and possesses elastic recovery capability. Corrosion resistance—the ultra-fine nano-crystal layer of diamond crystal isolates the paint from external elements, effectively preventing oxidation and acid rain corrosion. No cracking—diamond crystal coating is UV-resistant, withstands extreme temperatures, and has strong adaptability, preventing cracking or peeling. Cons: High cost—the application process is complex and requires strict conditions, demanding higher technical skills from the applicators and must be performed in a dust-free environment. Faster paint aging after stopping coating—if the car stops receiving crystal coating, the lack of brightness and protective film support will cause the paint to oxidize faster and lose much of its shine.
I just got my car coated with crystal and it feels amazing! The paint shines like a mirror, and dirt slides right off after rain, making car washes much easier. It also protects the paint from daily exposure to wind and sun. The downside is the cost—I spent a few thousand, and it requires regular maintenance. Careless wiping could damage the coating. Overall, it's great for car enthusiasts. A single treatment can last several years for a new car, but make sure to choose a reputable shop for the job.
