It is more difficult to apply hard wax, easier &#8211; cold and in the form of a spray.

Thus, the number of car washes is reduced and surface cleaning is simplified.<\/p>\n<p>Wax also has disadvantages. It is washed off after 2-3 washes and does not cope with large scratches. It is also often faked.

It not only masks existing minor damage, but also prevents the appearance of new ones. Usually Teflon is applied with a special porous sponge, with successive capture of small areas of the car.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of Teflon are undeniable. It is immune to salts, acids and solvents. The product effectively repels water, which greatly facilitates car washing, and also prevents dust from settling due to antistatic properties. Teflon also makes the surface insensitive to dirt.<\/p>\n<p>The car body, treated with a high-quality composition, will not require re-application for a long time (up to 10 washes). Unlike the same wax or other types of polishes, this protective layer lasts for 6-7 months. During this time, greasy spots practically do not form on the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Disadvantages of Teflon:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>for surfaces treated with Teflon, only contactless washing is suitable;<\/li>\n<li>high price.<\/li>\n<li>it is recommended to apply it only on perfectly flat areas of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ceramics<\/h2>\n<p>Ceramic coating is a more durable protection. This is a real trend in the complex of measures for the care of the exterior of the car. The coating quickly adheres to the paint, creating a strong bond. It cannot be erased or damaged. Ceramics last about one and a half to two years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-178008-624fad5ba99eb.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-178008-624fad5ba99eb.webp\" alt=\"Wax, teflon and ceramic - what is the best coat for a car?\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image source: forsazh-spb.ru<\/p>\n<p>Benefits of this tool:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>reliable protection against ultraviolet radiation and oxidation;<\/li>\n<li>resistance to oil, gasoline, acid precipitation;<\/li>\n<li>high hydrophobicity &#8211; water simply rolls off the surface of the layer, leaving no streaks;<\/li>\n<li>giving the body shine, original gloss;<\/li>\n<li>resistance to heat and cold &#8211; frost will not form on the car in winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ceramic surface does not leave resin from trees and bird droppings.
