What is the difference between car coating and glaze sealing?
2 Answers
The differences between car coating and glaze sealing: 1. Different materials: Glaze is an antioxidant component extracted from petroleum; The coating consists of glass elements, silicon, and fluorine. 2. Different procedures: Coating requires a total of 18 procedures; Glaze sealing is relatively simpler. 3. Different effects: Coating can firmly bond with the car paint without peeling off, and maintenance involves purifying the surface of the protective film, causing no secondary damage to the car paint; Glaze sealing requires polishing each time it is applied, and one heavy polishing can reduce the paint thickness by 3 to 5 micrometers. 4. Different shelf life: The warranty period for coating is generally about 3 years; The warranty period for glaze sealing is generally about half a year.
The main difference between car coating and glazing lies in protection and durability. I just had a coating done, which uses high-tech nano-coating to directly adhere to the car paint, forming a strong protective layer that effectively prevents scratches and UV damage. Washing the car won't harm the paint, and it generally lasts for more than two years. Glazing is a traditional method that applies resin to the surface to enhance gloss, but the material is softer. It tends to wear off after a few months of rain or sun exposure, requiring frequent reapplication and more maintenance. Coating is more expensive, costing several thousand yuan per session, but it's worth it in the long run, saving time and effort, especially for cars frequently driven on highways or parked outdoors. After comparing the effects, I found that coating keeps the car looking new for a long time, while glazing only provides short-term shine.
