Well-groomed remapped car always looks expensive and prestigious, regardless of its real value. As a polishing agent, wax-based formulations are used, but in our time there is a simpler use and a better means for polishing the car, called liquid glass. About this further in the article.

Liquid glass for the car that is

Liquid glass has recently been very popular among motorists. After processing this composition, your vehicle will sparkle like a gem. In addition, liquid glass has the ability to eliminate small defects, scratches and cracks on the surface of the car body. In this case, this tool perfectly protects the car from new damage, the formation of rust and the effects of ultraviolet.

Such a coating looks very fragile, but this fragility is only an illusion. In fact, the protective film is very solid. The tool does not include glass, and its main active element is silicon dioxide. This component in the molecular level interacts with the paint coating. As a result, a film with a mirror effect occurs on the car body surface, which is characterized by quite high strength indicators. In addition, it is durable and can serve its owner more than one year.

Varieties of liquid glass

To date, there are three variations of liquid glass.

It is based on these funds that produced liquid glass used as a polyterol for a car:

• Sodium - based on sodium, has excellent flame retardant properties.
• Kaliyevoe - created on the basis of potassium, is characterized by the property of increased hygroscopicity and its loyalty.
• Lithium - at the moment this is the rare liquid glass, produced in small quantities, is used as a thermostat for coating.

All three types of liquid glass can be combined into one category of monoshone compounds. In addition, there are still integrated and combined. Sold liquid glass can in different ways. For example, in the form of containers with a liquid, which must be applied to the surface of the car and wait for drying - the means is crystallized and a glossy surface is created.

There are polyroli and in the form of a paste, which are also applied to a non-fascinated body surface using a typewriter and crystallize. The active substances of the liquid glass react with the car body, forming a mirror effect on it.

Advantages of liquid glass

• Reliable protection of the surface of the car from different external influences, including chemical.
• Providing mirror glitter and saturated color.
• Democratic value, in comparison with other means for polishing.
• Durability - keeps over 8-12 months without losing aesthetic properties.
  
• Protection against small cracks and scratches after car wash.
• You can easily update if the coating hits.
• Heat resistance - such a coating during heating will not deteriorate.
• High dirt-repellent and water repellent characteristics.
• Ultraviolet protection - Liquid glass protects the paintwork from fading.
  
• The antistatic effect - prevents the accumulation of static electricity on the surface of the machine in the winter.
• The transparency of the coating, which ensures the gloss and depth of the paintwork.
• Hardness - when creating a means, special resins are used, providing hardness data close to glass data.

Disadvantages of liquid glass

1. The need to apply a new layer every 8-12 months.
2. Liquid glass is crystallized very quickly, so all the actions for applying should produce a specialist.
3. Work on applying is quite painstaking and requires tremendous patience.
4. In the context of a collision with an obstacle, there is a big risk that the coverage is simply split.
5. Taking into account our harsh winters, there is probability of cracking of the layer.

Features of the use of liquid glass

• Car washing with chemical detergents significantly reduces the strength of liquid glass, so it is desirable to wash the car with simple water, without rags and brushes.
• When covering a vehicle with liquid glass, the prerequisite is observing the technology of application. If technology is broken, ensuring the result is very difficult.

Car treatment with liquid glass

Apply liquid glass on the car is necessary in several stages.

we check the complete set of polyroli

The kit should include such tools: base composition and hardener, pipette (needed for mixing), protective gloves, soft sponge, towels and special fib for manual polishing. If something is missing, it is advisable to purchase.

we choose the workplace

It is not recommended to carry out treatment with liquid glass if the car was standing in the sun for a long time and heatically heated - it is important that the metal is cold. Specialists advise to carry out all work in a warm and dry room, avoiding sunlight and dust. The room temperature should be 15-30 degrees of heat.

prepare the surface of the car

At this stage, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the vehicle and remove all existing pollution. Then degrease the surface and give a car to dry. Degreasing is performed using White Spirit diluted in water. It is forbidden to use low-quality alcohols or silicone degreasers, also unacceptable the use of funds leaving the film. If the car body before it was already covered with any of the polyrol colors, it must be completely removed. Otherwise, the new layer of coating will serve a much less outlined period and will be badly kept on the surface.

completing of the work

Upon completion of the preparatory work, proceed to polishing the car using liquid glass. Do not apply the composition at once to the entire surface of the body - it is advisable to practice on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe car. If the polyrolol provides the expected result and normally adjacent to the surface, you can proceed to work.

We need to apply liquid glass gradually by polishing the plot behind the site. For example, you can start with the processing of bumper either right wing. Once the polishing of one element is completed, go to the next step. Such an approach has its advantages. First, the applied tool does not dry. Secondly, it will get better to do work.

After applying a small amount of the composition on the surface, it is necessary to confuse it with a soft tissue, which should be included in the package. In the process of performing the procedure, make sure that the surface of the car does not get dust or dirt. As soon as you handle the entire body, leave the car alone for 4-6 hours. At the same time, the liquid glass is finally grasped in two weeks. It is desirable during this period not to wash the car (especially on the sink).

reviews of liquid glass

The effect after using liquid glass is stunning. The car body glitters, as if only from the cabin. Color became saturated and bright. The drops themselves roll from the car, and looks great. Compared with conventional wax polyrolles, liquid glass is much better.

In addition, it eliminates small scratches, protects the body from rust, from burnout and has water-repellent properties. The machine polished with liquid glass is washed much easier, dirt does not stick to it, and the film protects the body from damage.
