Crystal coating is far more advanced than waxing? This is an interesting joke!

A little dry goods a day, there are cars here, a self-media platform focusing on auto supplies.

After talking about invisible car clothes for a long time, some people may think that the car king is entrusted, haha. Today, let's talk about something real. You don't want to stick the car clothes, but you want to protect the car paint. What kind of maintenance method can I choose? What is placed in front of the owner is nothing more than waxing and coating. Then someone will say, "crystal plating is a good thing, far more advanced than waxing." Is that really the case?

We all know that waxing is a low-cost maintenance method of car paint, because the waxing material itself is not expensive and the construction is difficult. Normal car wax is about tens of dollars a box, and a better one is only 100 dollars. If you build it yourself, a box of car wax can be used for 5-6 times without any problems. Waxing car paint is equivalent to adding a "varnish layer" with a short aging time, which increases the brightness of the paint surface and also isolates the harm of impurities in the rain air to the real car paint. However, the existence time of wax is short, 2 months at most, and less than one month if it encounters high temperature and rainy weather. Therefore, waxing is suitable for car owners who often wash their cars or have strong hands-on ability, and it is a cost-effective way.

Then look at the crystal plating and coating. It is not recommended because in Che Jun's view, they are essentially the same as waxing. You can also call it "advanced waxing". Because the coating is a composite material, under the power provided by the equipment (usually an angle grinder), the material and the varnish layer have a certain degree of fusion. However, this kind of integration is not solid and impossible. At most, the material adheres to the varnish layer. As time goes on, the composite material falls off layer by layer, and the car paint returns to its original state. But how cheap is waxing, and how much is a crystal plating, won't the owner count it in his heart?

If it is only the price difference, then the owner will bear it. The key is to polish the car to achieve better construction results. Polishing is not a routine maintenance project of paint surface, but a repair project. Every polishing is to lose the varnish layer. The maximum thickness of varnish is only about 40 microns, which will be worn off by normal polishing. So, how many times can the varnish layer be thrown?

Speaking of che jun, he always believes that his car is well maintained and he has face. Of course, there are many ways to keep a car, but in the final analysis, there are two principles: if you are lazy, spend money to buy time; If you are diligent, take the time to pay.
