Greeting all detailers,

I am interested to get my car glass coated (not sure the exact term), but my Googling told me it is basically a liquid coating apply on the car which will crystalline and form a thin layer of glass? Secondly, I was told that glass coating will last for 2 years and is no need of repeat application of wax/polish.

My question is, how true was that claim? Is there any recommended shop around Klang Valley that provide such service? Can apply another layer of wax of top of the coating?

Thanks in advance for all the advise.

The claim about the glass coating is true. In term of the durability, it varies across different coating products and also subjected to external factors such as environment condition, maintenance, etc.

If the coating really can last for 2 years, plus you wash and follow maintenance schedule, then probably you can get 2 years durability, or maybe even more. It all depends.

Yes you can apply another layer of wax on top of the coating, but it defies the purpose of the coating. Plus, once the coating has been fully cured, it might reject the adherence of wax on top of the coating.

Thanks for replying. I was skeptical as it sounds to be true, but it seems like good news for lazy detailer.

I have seen various type of 'glass' coating advertise in the automotive garage sales, which one do you think is the most reliable? Do you know any shop in Klang Valley that provides such service with decent quality? Thank you so much!
