Teflon Coating For Car

I think it is an attempt to reduce the effect of dirt (bird/bee/tar/sap/ etc.) and insects on the paint by making the surface slippery and easier to remove debris when washing. It is supposed to replace waxing and should last longer.

If it has any UV block at all it is because it is added as an extra ingredient in the mix.

Look up protectants used for marine boats if you want to learn more.

Another, and perhaps better product, is called Zaino. Still another is called Rejex. I think Zaino is better as it adds UV protection, but can take a little more effort to apply. Both offer a polymer coating over the paint to help protect and allow removal of crud on the car. However, both products also provide an outstanding gloss to the paint that many think is superior to the shine of wax.

I have not heard much endorsement of teflon in the automotive circles (if at all). However, Zaino does seem to have a good following among high-end car enthusiasts. I think for concourse events that a pure wax is the winner.

Wax still is one of the safest and best products you can use. You just need to apply it more often, but it will not harm the finish if applied correctly (read that as on a clean car). Now that I mention it, I think I need to wax my car again. Dag!

Many production model cars are coated prior to being stored outdoors during the interval between production and distribution. It is to protect the paint and to inhibit any tendency to corrode, also to prevent guano from sticking to the vehicle. The coating is removed prior to achieving 'showroom finish' immediately prior to sale.

It is to be used in the summer at noon to cook eggs on the car hood.

Works great, tastes Yummy, won't stick or leave residue

Ya it really protects the color of the car and it is very useful. Under chassis & teflon coatings definitely help but are not necessarily required (any car). If one can afford an extra 5K or so (for both), one should go for it, and preferably straightway after buying the car.

thanks buddy for ur reply

I had a new Mazda station wagon in 1986 coated. It was in an accident the next year and the hood was replaced. I forgot about the coating. I knew I would not wax the car on a regualar basis. About 5 years later the hood was oxidized and ugly while the rest of the car was shiny and younger looking.

I think it was worth the $600 which is why I purchased the new stuff (Xzylone sp?) for a 2007 Crossfire. I had a Chrysler dealer apply it.

It looks real nice!

Interesting listening to the ignorant speak with such conviction....
