Buying a car is a special feeling because you spent a lot of time and money to purchase your dream set of wheels. But the real question exists how you keep your car looking good or new after a few months and years of usage? If you see that there are multiple options for getting an exterior or interior car cleaning treatment across multiple outlets. Before you begin any sort of treatment with your car, the first logical step is to give a regular pressure wash.

Once the car thoroughly washed and wiped it’s time for the compounding process to begin which means the applier will polish the car with a cutting compound to eliminate the swirl mark. So to protect your car you can go with two major coatings. Two types of Car Coating

  1. PTFE Coating
  2. Ceramic Coating

Teflon coating is also known as poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE), the renowned brand of PTFE formula is Teflon. It is an affordable option for those looking to protect their car. A proper coat of Teflon is usually 0.2 microns thick and can last up to 6 to 8 months. This coating protects your car against scuffs and reduces surface swirl marks.

Is PTFE coating good in my car?

Teflon coating is good for paint protection that not only protects your car from scratches but also shields it from road chips, rust, corrosion. This coating doesn’t bond with paint at the molecular level but acts as a protective layer over the paint. Once applied, this coating reduces swirl marks and adds a glossy sheen to the paint surface of the car.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer clear that applied over the top coat of the car’s paint. This coating adds a hydrophobic layer to the paint surface as it acts as a hardened protective barrier that repels dirt, dust, grime and more.

Ceramic coating also provides weather protection and acts as a shield to dirt, scratch, protection against corrosion, oxidation and UV rays. It also provide a glossy shine to your car.

Is Ceramic coating good in my car?

Ceramic coating is a way more long-lasting than Teflon as it creates an additional layer over the paint. It is nanotechnology to form a second layer that is invisible through naked eyes. The particles of this coating are too small that occupies the space between paint molecules. This makes the vehicle resistant against elements like rust/ corrosion, water damage, oxidation, and UV rays.

You might learn about 9H Ceramic Coating as it is the hardest capacity of a given surface to resist scratching which can range from 1H which is the softness up to 10H which is the hardest.

 

PTFE coating or Ceramic coating: Which is the best for my car?

Properties PTFE Coating Ceramic Coating
Base Compound Teflon or Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based compound popularly used on non-stick cookware. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer clear coat that is applied over the topcoat of the car paint.
Thickness 0.02microns thickness with a proper Teflon coat. 2 microns of ceramic coating over the top coat of the paint.
Protection The coating provides protection against rust and scratches and enhances gloss. Ceramic coating provides protection against UV rays, rust, scratches, oxidation. Adds a hydrophobic layer
Durability Teflon coating can last upto 6 to 8 months. Ceramic coating can last up to 2-3 years, if applied correctly, could last up to the lifetime of the car.
Price Teflon coating costs in the range of ₹5,000 to ₹15,000* Ceramic coating is an expensive option with price upwards of ₹20,000*

 

There is no doubt the ceramic coating of your car will be more expensive but it is more durable and offer the best protection where Teflon is a more affordable solution but it will lose durability in less than 6 months and can be done again and again. So if you smart enough to keep your car looking good for a long time to do invest in the ceramic coating over Teflon.
