Teflon Coating, which is also popularly known as Paint Protection Coating, is basically a treatment that is recommended by many dealerships and car detailing shops to ensure the longevity of the paint. Basically, these coatings form a protective layer over the paint along with giving it more gloss and shine. Teflon is a chemical form of synthetic fluoropolymer that is non-sticky in nature and reduces friction on which it is applied. It also enhances the paint’s ability to prevent corrosion or wear and tear in extreme temperature conditions.
Before applying the Teflon coating, it is necessary to ensure that the paint finish is clean and polished. So the first step of the coating process must be to wash the entire car body carefully. To prevent the exterior finish from getting the scratches before the Teflon coating is applied, you should use a soft cloth (microfiber cloths are rightly recommended) and car wash detergent.
After the car paint is carefully washed, the next step is to polishing and waxing the paint finish. Polishing the paint finish is necessary to bring car paint to its best condition and provide the maximum shine before applying the protective layer. This step is particularly important for old cars whose outer paint is growing dull after being exposed to the weather and other harmful factors from the environment.
When the car finish is washed and polished, it is now the high time to apply Teflon coating. The Teflon liquid has a very strong smell, however, this smell will be gone after the finish is dried. It is advised that you use a soft cloth to apply the Teflon liquid to the car paint. It would take a couple of minutes to dry completely.
