Inputs needed: Glass Coating

[Walter]

Where did you get the idea that glass coating costs 10T up? The one being offered by Clavel is lesser than that.

Is it still okay to glass coat cars over 5 yrs old? I have a silver 6 yr old car and no matter how much I wax it, it still isn't shiny.

Hi Mam, if you plan to use your car for another 2 or more years, pwede po, para masulit nyo yung investment nyo.
If yung kintab ang issue, try having it detailed first baka mailabas ang natatagong kintab ng sasakyan nyo mam.

If I may ask Mam, original pa po yung paint?

Yes it's still original

Ok Mam, baka magawan pa ng paraan ng detailer, as long as intact ang paint, kaya po yan pakintabin ulit.

Based on the quote I got for my SUV from at least 5 different companies providing the service I don't just spew numbers from thin air. Hehehe

Of course, it includes full exterior detail (cleaning, polishing, etc.), glass (as in windshield and the other windows) protection, and wheel coating. Hindi lang glass coating ang kasama kasi it will be useless kung hindi muna na-detail ang kotse.

Also, my figures are based on SUV size (considered Large or XL size, depending on the company providing the service), hence, higher than sedans.

Hi Sir Kitoy,

I understand you also offer regular sealant/waxing sa shop nyo po... Question, Anu po mas mura na same durabilty sa dalawa. Given every weekend regular carwash.

1. Sealant(1500) + monthly clay and wax(700) current routine ko = est. 10k per year.

Or

2. Glass coating + yearly re-application + anu pa po need dito? No need for waxing na po ito for a year, tama po ba? So estimate 15k per year lang po?

So 5k lang po difference? If mas sure po kayo sa durability ng glass coating, at only 5k difference, sulit na po siguro ito at mag glass coat na ko?

Im not into car shows naman, masaya na ako na tumagal ng 10 years oto with orig paint(Hopefully, zero accidents and dents. Hehe..) at presentable pa para mataas pa rin resale nya if ever ibenta.. SUV po oto. Safe and covered parking naman both sa bahay at sa workplace. Sorry napahaba..

Salamat sir!

Yes and No.

Yes if malinis pa yung car meron lang minor scratches and hindi makapal na swirl/water marks, pwede pang Buff to take it all off... then pwede syang lagyan ng glass coat.

No if masyado ng madaming hahabulin na swirl/water marks and scratches... ninipis na masyado ang pintura. Remember hindi pantay pantay ang kapal ng pintura ng kotse may pinakamababa 3.2mc... bumaba lang ng 2.9mc panot na ang pintura.

Before we do a job, we make sure the client is well informed sa condition ng car nila hindi lang basta tira ng tira. May ginawa kami yesterday na mazda 2 (bago) may spot ng car nya na 3.2mc lang at may light scratches yun. We tell straight dun sa client baka hindi na matanggal yun fortunately dun mismo sa may light scratches nasa 3.7mc kaya pwede pang habulin kahit papano.

NOTE: HINDI PO TOTOO ANG SINASABI NA SCRATCH / DUST PROOF PO ANG CAR PAG MAY GLASS COAT NA.

Salamat sir!

Hi Sir Janemar,

If we are just talking about cost and durability with your monthly regimen of sealant. Mas mura po yung coating, with your estimated cost of 10k yearly dagdag ka lang ng konti, you can get atleast 2 years protection from a coating.
Maintenance cost ay regular proper washing lang po.

If you want a hassle free maintenance, my advantage po ang coating, hindi nyo na po kailangan isipin kung my effect pa yung wax/sealant sa paint. Proper wash lang ok na. And yung mga asphalto, dagta, bugs, acid rain, watermarks, hindi po ito masyado problema sa coating.

So if sulit, i'll say it is sulit sir, pag mararanasan mo sir ang protection na binibigay ng coating, ay hahanap hanapin mo na.

Pede bang per panel ang coating? Sample if na accident ako and need 2 panels repaired sa casa - will glass coating shops allow coating of 2 panels at lesser cost?
