What is the difference between car paint sealing glaze and crystal coating?

[DaniellaLee]

The differences between car paint sealing glaze and crystal coating are as follows: 1. Different definitions: The essence of sealing glaze is similar to waxing. "Glaze" is extracted from petroleum and mixed with some auxiliary materials. After cleaning the car surface, the "glaze" is applied through vibration, allowing it to fully penetrate the paint surface. Crystal coating involves using inorganic substances such as silicon dioxide, which forms a strong crystalline barrier on the surface through the action of molecular polymers. This barrier layer has functions such as resisting UV rays, oil resistance, low surface energy, and hydrophobicity, thereby protecting the paint surface. 2. Different functions: Sealing glaze blocks UV rays, resists oxidation, high temperatures, acid rain, prevents minor scratches, enhances the gloss and hardness of the original paint, prolongs the paint's lifespan, and slows down browning. Crystal coating is currently the most advanced car paint protection solution, offering advantages such as corrosion resistance, scratch prevention, no cracking, and easy cleaning. It protects the vehicle from daily minor scratches, and even when external forces exceed the elastic protection range of the crystal, it usually only leaves scratches on the crystal without damaging the paint surface.
