What is the Difference Between Car Waxing and Crystal Coating?
1 Answers
Introduction to the differences between car crystal coating and waxing: 1. Oxidation aspect: Wax is a cause of oxidation on the car's surface because grease begins to oxidize when exposed to oxygen in the air. Once oxidized, it easily attracts dirt, which is difficult to remove. (It also easily accumulates scratches during washing.) Crystal coating makes it difficult for dirt to adhere to the car's paint surface, maintains long-lasting gloss, and is less prone to scratches. 2. Molecular structure difference: To use a metaphor of molecular size, grease-based (wax) is like a bowling ball, while glass cellulose is like a glass marble. Glass cellulose, through a chemical reaction with the help of fluorine, forms a tightly bonded coating layer in the state of glass marbles. Even rain won’t cause it to peel off, as it firmly adheres to the car body, effectively blocking UV rays and dirt. The coating layer can last for a long time because it doesn’t oxidize, making it difficult for dirt to adhere, and even if it does, it can be easily removed. 3. Gloss: Gloss can be described as "oily shine" and "sparkling." Preferences for gloss vary from person to person. Those who prefer an oily shine use grease-based products (wax). However, grease-based (wax) products lose their gloss when they attract dust, which absorbs the grease. Another point about grease-based products is that they can cause diffuse reflection.
