You might wonder if you should get one for your ride.
Car owners, your daily routine may be damaging your car's paintwork without you even realising it.
Everyday happenings like accidentally spilled petrol, finger prints, and annoying bird droppings can leave ugly, long-lasting stains and scratches on the surface of your car. Even worse, it might cause corrosion.
Aside from being proactive about cleaning away spills and splatters promptly, there's also a preventive method that can protect your auto paint against scratches in the first place.
What's a paint coating?
A ceramic glass paint coating (or car coating) is essentially a second layer of paint for your car. It’s better to be provided by a car detailer or automotive paint business rather than a DIY job and is applied as a kind of secondary coat on top of the existing paint.
Coatings are also made out of manmade materials, but they do not look like, or apply like, car waxes or paint sealants. Instead, they are often times of a much thinner viscosity (like, water).
While a conventional car wax wears off after a couple months, a ceramic glass paint coating forms a much stronger and harder bond.
A good thing to note is that unfortunately new vehicles prior to being picked up by its new owner, would have been left sitting under the sun and rain for weeks or months. Only a simple polish and wax is quickly done, and after a few months, the surface defects previously concealed by the layer of wax would resurface. Whereas, ceramic glass coatings last much much longer – and they protect the car’s paintwork and other surfaces from day to day exposure and damage.
Glass ceramic coating provides a strong, protective surface to the car’s body that can block all manner of foreign matter and prevent them from causing damage to the vehicle.
So, should you coat your car?
If you want a long-lasting investment for your car, this is definitely something to have done. Ceramic glass paint coatings resist dirt and dust better than traditional protection, so your vehicle will stay cleaner for longer periods of time. Your car will be extremely easy to wash because dirt wipes away easily – no scrubbing is required if you properly maintain your vehicle.
Ceramic glass paint coatings are also typically harder than your vehicle’s clear coat. This added hardness helps to protect your paint against UV damage, hard water spots, bird bombs, and other typical risks associated with daily driving. Coatings tend to be much more chemically resistant than traditional forms of protection and will stand up to environmental hazards much better in the long run.
Last but not least, the amazing gloss and shine. Your vehicle will look fantastic, be easier to maintain, and be very well protected.
