What Does Coating Do?
1 Answers
Car paint coating involves the professional application of coating products evenly on the surface of the vehicle. Through a chemical reaction with the car paint, it forms a dense glass protective layer (limited to inorganic coatings), which acts like a hard, transparent glass covering the car paint surface. This layer protects the paint from external factors such as extreme temperatures, acids, alkalis, UV rays, and minor scratches, while also enhancing the paint's brightness and restoring a new-car-like appearance. Below are some post-coating precautions: Avoid Rolling Down Windows: Do not roll down the windows for a week after applying the coating. In most cases, the car coating takes 5-7 days to firmly adhere to the windows. During this period, avoid rolling down the windows as much as possible to prevent displacement of the coating that hasn't fully bonded. Avoid Wiping: Do not wipe the coating for a week after application. Newly applied coatings may develop fogging or similar conditions, which is a normal part of the drying process. Such occurrences within a week to half a month are normal—simply wait for the fogging to disappear and avoid wiping. Avoid Using Sharp or Hard Tools: After applying the coating, never use sharp or hard tools to scrape or wipe it. If done carelessly, such actions can significantly reduce the coating's light transmittance.
