Among a fairly wide range of varied polishes that are currently offered to give cars maximum shine and provide full protection, the so-called “liquid glass” causes a lot of discussions. On the one hand, the manufacturers promise results that none of the existing polishes can achieve. On the other hand, the price of such a coating is quite high but it is still less than of the ceramic car coating, so not everyone wants to experiment. So, what are the main features of liquid glass?
Liquid Glass Benefits
Why is this coating considered unique and, according to the manufacturers, has no analogs? It is quite easy to answer this question: shiny brand new cars that look like showroom models are the result of the application of this product. In many ways, it is similar to the effect of the ceramic auto coating, but we should say that the ceramic paint protection is more durable. What are the advantages of liquid glass for cars?
- This option is much more durable than wax polishes and withstands 20-30 washes;
- Just like the ceramic coating for cars by Fortador, liquid glass interacts with auto paintwork, strengthening it and protecting it from many external factors;
- The liquid glass allows you to make the color of the car deeper, including if the vehicle is far from new;
- You can wash a car less often after processing, because liquid glass, among other things, also has the ability to repel moisture and dirt. No special shampoos are needed for it, even if the machine is very dirty.
The most important thing when choosing a composition is to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations and pay attention to the complexity of the application. We strongly do not recommend buying a composition for self-application, intended for work by professionals. It will be very difficult to apply it correctly and comply with the technology, which is also relevant for the auto ceramic coating.
Disadvantages of the Liquid Glass
Of course, the advantages of such a coating are great, but there are also certain disadvantages. What are the cons of liquid glass?
- Of course, this is quite a high cost. Actually, this is the main disadvantage of the coating.
- Only specialists know all the nuances of the application technology.
- Used cars will have to be pre-processed, which takes time.
- The car must not be washed for a week after coating.
- It will take several hours to cover a car with liquid glass, and drying can be accelerated only with special lamps. In addition, it is best to dry the coating outdoors, but with protection from dust.
