Waxing is to coat a layer of organic wax on the surface of car paint.
Waxing, as the name implies, is to coat a layer of organic wax on the surface of car paint, which plays a role in enhancing and brightening, and can also prevent static electricity. Waxing is an early beauty method, and the main component of wax comes from petroleum.
That's just like our leather sofa or solid wood furniture. After a period of time, the color is not bright and needs waxing maintenance. After the maintenance, it will be polished immediately. I believe you have seen this.
That method is almost the same, that is, dip a small amount of car wax in a sponge, then apply it evenly on the car body in a circle, and wipe it clean with a dry cloth after the wax surface is dry.
Glaze sealing is a machine that presses glaze into the interior of car paint to form a protective layer.
Everyone suddenly heard the word "glaze sealing", which felt very tall and harmful, but it was not really high-tech.
In fact, glaze sealing is to press the glaze into the interior of the car paint with a special machine, thus forming a protective layer similar to a net. This is different from the glaze layer on porcelain, so it can't be understood like this.
This protective layer has the functions of isolating ultraviolet rays and air oxidation, and reducing the damage of acid rain to car paint to a certain extent.
Coating is like putting a mobile phone film on a car.
Coating can generally be understood as, for example, attaching a mobile phone film to a car.
But before painting, it was liquid, and the main component was a substance called glass cellulose. Then it is evenly coated on the car body with tools, and a transparent protective layer can be formed on the car body surface after curing.
It can isolate the damage of external substances to the paint surface, and at the same time, the protective layer itself has a certain hardness, which has a good effect on protecting the car paint. Of course, preventing acid rain, oxidation and ultraviolet rays is not a problem.
Electroplating is like putting a protective shell on a car.
Literally speaking, crystal plating means plating a layer of crystal on the car body, just like you put a protective shell on the car.
In fact, crystal plating and coating are very similar, the construction technology and steps are the same, but their reagents are different. Crystal electroplating is harder and more advanced, which can avoid some small scratches left by small scratches on nails and keys.
What is the difference between waxing, sealing glaze, coating and crystal plating?
Waxing is cheap and simple, but the effect is not lasting.
Waxing cars is cheap and simple. You can do it yourself without looking for a shop. However, car wax is easy to melt in water, but it will be oxidized in high temperature, and the effect is poor, only about half a month, and the price is about 50 ~ 300 yuan.
Polishing takes longer than waxing, but polishing first will do more harm to the car.
Glaze seal is said to be an upgraded version of waxing, which requires special tools to make car wax and car paint more intimate through high-frequency vibration, so it is brighter and more durable, about three or four months, and the price is higher, about 500 ~ 2000 yuan.
The biggest difference between it and waxing is that it needs polishing before sealing the glaze, that is, grinding off a thin layer of your car paint to make the car paint look brand-new, while grinding the normal car paint for about 5 ~ 10 times at most, which is equivalent to grinding off the whole car paint and exposing the steel plate like a plucked chicken.
Therefore, sealing glaze is actually very harmful to the car, and it is not recommended that you do sealing glaze.
The effect of crystal plating is better and more lasting than that of coating.
The protective effect of coating is better than waxing and glaze sealing, which can last for one year and the price is about 500 ~ 3000 yuan.
The effect of crystal plating is better and more lasting than that of coating, which can last for about two years, but the price is also more expensive, about 2000 ~ 5000 yuan.
Which one should I choose?
The advantages and disadvantages of several of them have been analyzed above, so which one to choose is suggested according to your actual situation. Here are some suggestions for reference only:
1, choose waxing economy;
2, the effect is good;
3. Glazing is harmful to car paint and is not recommended;
4. More expensive and durable clothes.
Summary:
Generally speaking, waxing is cheap and simple, but the effect is not lasting; Polishing takes longer than waxing, but polishing first is more harmful to the car; The effect of crystal plating is better and more lasting than that of coating, but it is also more expensive.
Of course, local tyrants please skip the above and choose to stick the car clothes directly.
