Nanotechnology in Relation to Detailing

Although extremely small, most detailing products are technically not nano in size. Most coatings are also not true nanotubule technology as this can cause a serious health concern for the consumers and cost a ridiculous amount of money. The context of nano as it relates to detailing is a relative indicator of size as they are submicron particles that form a matrix chain-link that comprise a thin, structured layer of dense, tightly packed particles that interlace on a molecular basis to form an extension to the hard-wearing surface. This bond is virtually impenetrable and not easily breached by chemicals or detergents.

The significance of a nano tech coating is the micro-sized particles forming a foolproof bond with the surface layer of most material with surface undulations, be it glass, paint, alloy, plastic, aluminum, chrome, and stainless steel and then sealing the micro cracks and voids to form an anchored foundation, creating a barrier that is similar to glass. This is why a clean and dry surface, free of oil and wax, is so important.

On the coating surface, the water will evaporate and leaves behind on the micro structure. This will help to reduce light scattering and reflects them instead, vastly improving the surface clarity.
