A special case is liquid glass for cars, which is a special composition of synthetic ingredients. This tool not only gives the exterior a gorgeous Shine, but also has a lot of advantages over poland.

Kind of liquid glass for car

It is possible to identify three types of compounds, which are known as liquid glass, with a focus on the main operating components:

• The composition, based on potassium. This product has a loose structure. This gives the surface a high resistance to moisture, chemical constituents and quantity of rainfall.
• Composition based on sodium. This type of fund protects the surface not only from dirt and damage, but also has antiseptic effect. Gives the treated surfaces are resistant to fire.
• Lithium. Used in the automotive industry is quite rare, produced in small quantities and is usually used for thermal control coatings.

Depending on the mode of use of the liquid glass can be divided into two groups:

• self-freeze;
• require additional fixation after application.

2. Note: If the vehicle is already on a nail, in preparation for the car you need to ensure that it was completely removed from the surface, which is used for the liquid crystal.
3. You can then move on to the application. Depending on what is indicated in the instructions for the molten glass, mixture composition, and apply it appropriate amount on a small area of the surface.
4. Wait 1-2 minutes (depending on speed drying), and then wipe the treated surface with a damp cloth. Look at the result. If you are satisfied, you can proceed to treat the whole body.
