GAMA Water Coating

 Water coating film

*Fluororesin (PTFE)

Also known as Teflon, commonly used as a material for non-stick pans.

It can form a protective layer of about 0.2 microns on the surface of a car’s exterior, creating a glossy finish while preventing the paint from being scratched or producing fine scratches.

Teflon itself is not easy to adhere to the car’s paint, and the coating film is more likely to come off. If the coating agent contains only this single component (such as fluorine water), the effect can only last for a few months to half a year.

To improve the durability of the product, many commercially available products now add ingredients such as silicon or adhesives. For example, this no-wash car spray wax contains car wax, silicon, fluorine, and other components, which are very convenient to use and have a longer-lasting effect than ordinary pure fluorine coating films.

*Silicon oxide compound

Also the main component of glass, the molecules are small and can bond directly with the car paint, forming a drainage layer on the surface of the car to prevent dirt such as dust and tar from adhering.

However, silica dioxide is hard and difficult to spread evenly. To make it easier for car owners to use, the concentration of silica dioxide in water coating films is generally lower. The advantage is that the success rate of DIY coating films is higher, but because the formed coating film is also thinner, its durability is poorer than that of hard coating films.

# A coating product that is very suitable for quick paint maintenance and can gently clean the slightly dirty paint while having excellent waterproof function.

#Can be used as the best maintenance agent after coating.

#Super hydrophobic coating film can enhance the brightness of the paint, give it a soft and smooth feel, and shimmer with a bright luster.

#Can strengthen the effect of previously applied wax and enhance its own water-repellent function.

#A high-polymer colorless transparent material that can be used on various materials such as car, motorcycle paint, plastic, headlights, and helmet lenses.

#Excellent stacking effect, can provide perfect water-repellent effect, and can be stacked with a smooth protective film later to increase the smooth feel.

#Can be used on the exterior of the car, regardless of the color, matte paint, plated road, plastic glass, and other materials.

#A high-polymer colorless transparent material that can effectively seal the paint for a long time and restore the water-repellent effect.

#Can stack and enhance the coating film or wax on the paint to provide excellent water-repellent and gloss performance.

#The simplest and fastest operation method, without using any cloth, just use a high-pressure water gun to complete the full car coating maintenance.

Broadly speaking, coatings can be divided into two categories:

[Hard coating] and [👉Water coating], and in a narrow sense, hard coating can be further subdivided into four types: “resin coating”, “fluorine coating”, “glass cellulose-like coating”, and “quartz coating” .

Comparison of various hard coatings

Resin coating

The coating has good film-forming properties and adhesion. Although the coating price is the cheapest among the four types of coatings, it is gradually eliminated by the market due to its poor corrosion resistance, weather resistance, wear resistance and gloss.

Fluorine coating

The main component is polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good film-forming properties, corrosion resistance, weather resistance and abrasion resistance. However, due to poor adhesion, the timeliness of its performance on the paint surface is not that long.

Glass-like cellulose coating

The main component is polysiloxane, which has good film-forming properties, adhesion, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, abrasion resistance, etc. However, due to the complicated construction, the price is also relatively expensive.

quartz coating

The main component is silicon dioxide. After coating, the film-forming properties are poor. The film needs to be hardened by heating. Do not come into contact with water during the hardening process, otherwise the film will be lost and the corrosion resistance will be poor. Therefore, it is encountered After insect corpses, bird droppings, and acid rain, it must be cleaned in time, but the weather resistance and wear resistance are good.

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of water coating

Next, there are water-coated products that are highly inquired about. With the popularity of self-service car washes in recent years, any car beauty products must be DIYed by yourself. The editor often receives questions from car friends, “There are so many water-coated products, how should I choose?” What?” and other questions.

Although water coatings include mirror gloss coatings, fluorine coatings, fluorine coatings, etc., the common points are high water repellency, improved gloss, and anti-fouling and dust-proof effects. The emphasized benefits are “fast, cheap, and good quality”. However, water coating also has relative limitations. You can quickly understand the advantages and disadvantages of water coating below.

Water coating properties

advantage

It is cheap and can increase the gloss of the paint. It has a good water-repellent effect. It is easy to use and quick to use. It does not cause dust or water to adhere easily after use.

shortcoming

Short timeliness, no hardness properties, no wear resistance properties

Water coating application steps

Entire car exterior detailed and clean
Dry the body
Spray water coating evenly on sheet metal parts, plastic parts, chrome plating, etc.
Use a microfiber cloth to wipe evenly
Then use a microfiber towel to polish the car body
Complete water coating

Some water coatings can also be used when the paint surface is wet, but the effect will be better when used on dry paint surfaces!
