I believe that many car owners are confused about why their car paint often scratches, absorbs iron powder, and even fades after driving for a short time. This is largely due to the lack of crystallization for the car. Crystallization is a common car beauty project that many car owners have heard of and have some understanding of, but may still be somewhat confused about its principles and advantages.
What is car crystallization?
Car crystallization is a technology that protects the paint surface of a car by applying a special crystallization agent to the surface to form a hard, transparent protective film that prevents the external environment from affecting the color of the paint.
What is the function of crystallization?
The main function of crystallization is to protect the car paint surface from external environmental damage, such as ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and pollutants. At the same time, it can also improve the brightness and gloss of the paint surface, making the car appearance more beautiful.
Why do we need to apply crystal plating to the paint surface of cars?
The paint surface of a car is easily damaged by external environments, such as discoloration and loss of gloss after prolonged exposure to sunlight, and corrosion of the paint surface by acidic substances in rainwater. Therefore, crystallizing the paint surface of a car can add a protective layer and extend the life of the paint surface.
Fourth, the benefits of car paint crystallization!
After the crystallization project, the car can achieve the following seven benefits:
a. Scratch resistance: With a hardness of 6H, compared to the hardness of ordinary car paints of 2H, it can prevent most minor scratches and has an elastic recovery function, protecting the vehicle from daily minor scratches and reducing the scratching of the paint surface by more than 70% compared to ordinary coating. When external forces exceed the elastic protection range of the crystal, they generally only leave scratches on the crystal without damaging the paint surface.
b. Corrosion resistance: The crystal coating isolates the paint surface from the external environment, effectively preventing oxidation of the paint surface and resisting the erosion of shellac, bird droppings, flying paint, iron powder, acid rain, and other substances.
c. Easy to clean: The crystallization can improve the water repellency of the paint surface, making the car easy to clean and maintain. A simple water cleaning can restore the car to a bright and new condition, achieving a mirror-like gloss effect.
d. Brighter: Plating crystal can make the overall brightness of the car higher, with a bright and beautiful paint finish. The brightness can be increased by about 30% depending on the product effect.
e. No cracking: It can resist ultraviolet rays, high temperatures, and severe cold, with a temperature range of -50°C to 300°C. It can adapt to a wide range of temperature changes without cracking or peeling off.
Antistatic: The crystal of the car plating contains antistatic agents, making the paint surface less prone to absorbing dust and resisting "traffic film".
Long shelf life: The crystal has a long lifespan and stable performance, and can be used for up to 2 years, while typical coatings can only last for up to 1 year.
The necessity of crystal plating on car paint!
Many friends may think that it is not cost-effective to polish the crystal coating when it is applied, as the paint on a new car will be damaged. However, this is not the case. The paint surface of a new car has no scratches, so we do not need to conduct polishing treatment, but only need to conduct restoration, which can maximize the thickness of the original factory paint, so there is almost no harm.
For cars that have been in use for a long time, it is necessary to carry out polishing treatment before crystallization. The scratches on the paint surface need to be repaired before the crystallization process. At this time, some friends may worry about thinning the paint. In fact, this statement is not absolute, because the original paint of the car is generally polished for about 15-20 times before it may be worn out. If a skilled craftsman cooperates with a rowing machine, the number of polishing times can be higher. Normally, the polishing requirement of the car will not reach this level. If there are oxidized layers and scratches on the paint surface, if not treated, the actual danger is even greater.
In general, coating crystal on the car paint surface can not only prevent scratches, corrosion and other paint damage, but also facilitate the cleaning of the car body and maintain a good appearance. Therefore, for the maintenance of your car, coating crystal is a very necessary maintenance measure.
