Ever wondered why some cars on the road always have their paint looking like new all year round? Waxing and cleaning helps, but a special type of protective coating that protects the paint is what helps the cars shine all year round.
So, if you are looking to preserve your car’s glossy shine, Teflon coating is one of the ways to do it.
Teflon coating is a synthetic sealant that binds to your car’s paint and forms a layer over it to provide protection from minor scratches. This helps keep the shine on your car lasting for longer, maintaining that new car aesthetic. This coating consists of synthetic fluoropolymer material that forms a clear coat over your car’s paint and provides protection. Teflon coating also helps prevent paint corrosion from moisture as well as paint dullness from sun exposure.
Teflon coating is slightly more complicated than waxing and involves more than just washing the car. A step by step process ensures multiple layers form a protective coating on the paint and lock in the shine.
The Teflon coating process requires the car to be washed thoroughly with car shampoo and thoroughly rinsed so that no residue of the shampoo remains. Post the washing process, the car is dried thoroughly, as moisture will hinder the process of waxing, that comes next.
After drying, the car is waxed and buffed until the required gloss is achieved. This can be done multiple times to achieve the desired shine.
Post the waxing and buffing, the Teflon coating is applied to the body. The coating is in a liquid form to help achieve thorough application. The coat can be applied in multiple layers to give maximum protection. After application, the Teflon coat is allowed to settle for some time following which another buffing session takes place without the wax.
Follow these tips to make the Teflon coat on your car last longer:
