Car paint is the face of a car,which will look glamorous if it is well maintained. The car paint not only gives the car an eye-catching appearance and excellent protective performance, but also extend the life of the car.
So, how should we protect the paint of our beloved car in our daily life?
Generally speaking, car paint is composed of three parts as follows : primer, intermediate coating and topcoat. topcoats are mostly composed of film-forming substances, pigments, solvents and additives. Pigment is the material of the top paint color, which does not volatilize. It gives the paint the covering ability; the film-forming material is the material that determines the type of paint, generally composed of natural resin or artificial resin, and its function is to keep the pigment in a bright state, so that It is strong and durable and can adhere to the surface of the car body; the solvent is an easily volatile component in the paint, and its role is to fully dissolve the resin in the paint film, so that the paint can be applied normally; the proportion of additives in the paint generally does not exceed 5 %, plays the role of accelerating drying and enhancing gloss, and can improve the chemical resistance of car paint.
Common damage of car paint
1.Car paint Oxidation.
When the car is irradiated by the sun and ultraviolet rays, the paint film continuously evaporates oil into the air to protect itself. Over time, the oil in the paint will be overly dispersed. The brightness and depth of the paint surface are greatly reduced, so that the paint surface slowly turns white, forming an oxide layer, and shortening the life of the car paint. The phenomenon of black, whitish and dull car paint can be observed with the naked eye. Severe oxidation can be treated by grinding and polishing, but this will also damage the original car paint. So it is really important to use TPU Paint Protection Film to protect your car paint,CAXVINYL PPF using advanced self healing transparent topcoat formulation and self adhesive removable glue not only can protect your car paint from aging without hurting the original car paint but also can improve the brightness of the paint.
2.Traffic film
A strong electrostatic layer is generated due to friction when a car is running. Static electricity has a strong ability to adsorb dust, oil and chemical dust, and it will form a strong traffic film over time. It is easy to cause oxidation and corrosion of the paint surface,CAXVINYL TPU PPF has excellent anti dust function make your car as new as always.
3.Cracking
If you don’t do some necessary care for the paint surface, the metallic paint may have some fine cracks, which will continuously penetrate into the car paint and even penetrate the entire color paint layer. This phenomenon is called cracking, sometimes because The quality of the secondary paint can also cause cracks. If there is car wax in the cracks, you will find that the car body has striped cracks. Although it can be repaired by waxing, the maintenance time is very short. The best solution is to use a paint protection film, CAXVINYL paint protection film has outstanding anti scratch resistance and excellent durability with superior resistant to yellowing and cracking to effectively protect your beloved car.
4.Corrosion
Soot and pollutants in the atmosphere are the main reasons for the corrosion and fading of car paint. Fading is different from oxidation. When fading occurs, the car paint has uneven color difference. Moderate and mild fading can be treated by grinding and polishing. In severe cases, it must be repainted. Corrosion is surface abrasion. Insects, bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain, etc. may cause corrosion marks, which will seriously damage the paint and affect the appearance of the car.using TPU PPF is one of the best way to preserve the paint of your beloved car without hurting it,CAXVINYL TPU PPF has great stain resistance and impact resistant,it protects car paint and other vulnerable surfaces from stone chips ,scratches ,bug damage,road tar stains and punishing outdoor weathering including harsh UV radiation,preserve the finish of your car with CAXVINYL TPU PPF keeps the beauty of your car longer also can increase the resale value.
Common Car Detailing Project:
1. Waxing
There are two main types of wax on the market, one is synthetic wax and the other is called palm wax.
Pros of waxing:
1. Waterproof, reduce dark spots, rust and damage of the watermark on the paint surface.
2. Anti-aging effect, reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the paint surface, and extend the life of the paint.
3. The light-appreciating effect can improve the finish of the car paint to varying degrees and make the car body color brighter.
4. Anti-static effect, reduce the damage to car paint caused by friction with dust, wool fabric, chemical fiber, etc. in the air.
5. Anti-corrosion function, effectively isolating the damage of acid rain and acid fog to car paint.
Cons:
1. Poor oxidation resistance. Basically, one waxing can only effectively protect the car paint for 15-30 days;
2. Intolerance to water, when it rains or washes the car, your wax will be lost;
3. Waxing is divided into manual waxing and machine waxing. Manual waxing will not have any effect on the paint, but it is time-consuming and laborious and the effect is not significant; while the effect of machine waxing (polishing and waxing) is immediate, but it has an immediate effect on the paint. The damage is not normal. The car paint is so thick when it leaves the factory. If the polishing method is not correct, the car paint will be thrown one less layer at a time, which may cause local chromatic aberration;
4. Not tolerant to high temperatures, the melting of car wax in summer may also stick to the dust in the air, thus damaging the paint.
2.Glazing
The glaze is mainly composed of a kind of filler, through the high-speed vibration and friction of soft wool or sponge, the glaze molecules penetrate into the paint surface of the car through the special permeability and adhesion of the glaze. It is used to make up small scratches that are inevitable in the daily use of cars, fill up the scratches and make the paint surface smooth. When the light shines on the painted surface, the original small gap has been filled, so the mirror principle will make the original car brighter.
Pros: It can improve the paint surface hardness, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and UV resistance.
Cons: Because its main component is organic matter or acidic compound, it is easy to be acidified and oxidized, and its durability is average. Generally, it will gradually disintegrate in 3 to 6 months and requires another construction. After the glaze sealing process, the car can not be changed to waxing or other methods for lacquer beautification, and the glaze sealing process can only be continued.
Special reminder, the main function of the glaze is to grind and repair the small scratches on the paint surface, so the new car does not need to seal the glaze
3.Coating
The car coating is refined and synthesized from environmentally friendly and stable raw materials such as glass silica, plant silicon, etc. It is covered on the surface of the car paint in the form of a transparent film, and because of its compact structure, it is difficult to destroy, which reduces the impact of external substances on the car paint. Damage, can protect the paint for a long time! The validity period of the car coating is generally about half a year, and after a period of time, the car coating will also chemically react with external acidic substances. After being decomposed, it will be washed away by water during car washing or rainy days.
4.Nao Ceramic Coating
The automotive crystalline material is a nano-scale structure, and its molecular structure is much smaller than the pores of the car paint, so it can easily penetrate into the pores of the car paint, and will form a certain thickness of transparent crystals on the surface of the car paint to improve the brightness and hardness of the paint surface. It has the functions of scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, UV protection, etc., and the effective period of the plating crystal is as long as nearly two years. At the same time, the paint surface of the car after the crystal plating has a certain water repellency, avoiding the corrosion of the car paint by acidic substances such as rain!
Pros: A solid crystal is formed on the surface of the car paint, which can really protect the paint surface.
Cons:
1.high price. Long working hours, coating takes 2 to 8 hours, and crystal plating takes 2 days.
2. Extremely high requirements for construction environment and technology: the crystal plating construction is complicated and demanding. It must be constructed by a professionally trained crystal plating craftsman and has high environmental requirements and requires operation in a dust-free environment. The master’s craftsmanship will directly affect the effect and service life of the crystal plating. Long working hours, coating takes 2 to 8 hours, and crystal plating takes 2 days.
3. The crystal plating construction will wear the car paint: the car paint needs to be polished (that is, sanding) before the crystal is plated. Generally speaking, a car can usually withstand about 7 times of polishing. If there are too many times, everyone knows… The one-time life is around one year, and the number of plating crystals is too much, but it is counterproductive and damages the paint.
4.Car paint ages faster after stopping crystallizing: If the car stops crystallizing, without the support of brightness and diaphragm, the oxidation rate of car paint will be faster and the brightness will drop a lot.
5.Paint Protection Film-The most Popular Way
TPU paint protection film is constructed of a combination of advanced elastomeric thermoplastic polyurethane,using self-healing,solvent-resistant clear coat formulation which protects vehicle paint and other vulnerable surfaces from rock chips,and scratches,bug acids and road tar,birds dropping and tree sap,harsh outdoor weathering including ultraviolet radiation,which,preserves vehicle paint longer also increase the resale value.
