Understanding Coating



When applied to a clean, prepped surface, the coating will take on properties that basically emulate hardened glass that exhibit measurable thickness, like films to protect the surface from UV, wash-induced damages, oxidation, salts, and even permanent ink. Coatings can be applied to glass and wheel surfaces as well, adding shine and providing protection while at the same time, keeping them easy to clean.

Coatings are chemically inert, meaning that the treated surface will react with base materials such as dirt which often causes organic staining. They reduce the hydroscopic nature of surfaces exposed to pollution, industrial or environmental, so chemical compounds and minerals such as tree saps and acid rains are considerably easier to take off.

Of course, things such as maintenance and washing techniques will make a difference in the long run when trying to keep the coating surface swirl free. Educating customers about the benefits and limitations of a coating can go a long way in maintaining the integrity of the coating.
