Will Car Glazing Damage the Paint?
2 Answers
Car glazing will not damage the paint. The operation process of car glazing is as follows: 1. Clean the car body and remove asphalt or wax layers; 2. Use professional car wash liquid to clean residual liquid and wax on the car; 3. Soak the sponge polishing disc, install it on the polishing machine, run it idle for about 5 seconds, and shake off excess water; 4. Shake the polishing agent evenly, pour a small amount on the sponge polishing disc, and apply it evenly on the paint surface; 5. Adjust the speed of the polishing machine to 1800 to 2200 revolutions per minute, move in a straight line along the direction of the car body, with each pass overlapping one-third of the previous one; 6. After polishing the paint surface, clean the entire car with a pure cotton towel.
Having run an auto detailing shop for years, I can confidently say that proper paint sealing won't harm your car's finish at all. The process essentially adds a protective layer to the paint, shielding against UV rays and acid rain corrosion while enhancing gloss. However, sloppy work—like failing to thoroughly clean surface contaminants (dust or fine sand) or using abrasive cloths—can introduce micro-scratches during application, potentially damaging the original paint. The key steps involve a meticulous wash, possibly light polishing to remove oxidation, even application of professional-grade sealant, and allowing proper curing. Having treated countless vehicles, I confirm that correctly performed sealing only benefits the paint. Avoid cheap, inferior products—opt for reputable brands and skilled technicians. A single treatment lasts 6-12 months; regular applications protect against sun-induced aging. Bottom line: entrust professionals or master proper DIY techniques to eliminate risks.
