Water beads can hamper the car ceramic coating. Know How?

Moving objects are not harmful but stagnant are always dangerous. Water beads over the car body are bad in all ways. Beads over coating look cool and they help in judging the quality of your ceramic coating. If beads stay longer and aren’t rolling off the car then surely your coating will be hampered and it will leave terrible appearance. This clearly defines that there erupts the need of buffing it off and replaced from a new layer of coating which is not at all cheap. You need to pay a lot to get back the good appearance of your love. But have you ever thought what makes these water beads so harmful and enemy to coating finish?

The answer cannot be simply justified in one word. Some of the harm that it brings to your car coating are- etching, staining, micro-marring, and contamination. Let me explain you the above-mentioned line. Drying beads can leave water spots which can stain and even etch the coating. If there is acid rain and is allowed to sit over the surface due to any reason then surely it will lead to etching the surface and can even penetrate to the car body surface. If you are drying off the surface manually so that can even lead to minor scratches which will certainly hamper the coating appearance. 

Beads are bad for Car

No matter in which situation, if water is allowed to sit and dry over the car body surface then it will surely leave the mark and patches. This because water droplet that your car surface encounters certainly hold some mineral in small or larger quantity. This mineral content is left behind as the droplet evaporates. These left behind mineral contents forms a layer of residue over the surface which can end up in causing few serious damages.

Initially, these water spots are not hard to remove and can be easily removed using microfiber which can be a good choice. But what if it sits for longer? The main role is played by the UV rays which acts over it and bake the residue left into a rigid stain. This described that you need extra effort and acidic cleaner to grease and wipe it away. This extra pressure will surely invite micro-marring.

Enough of micro-marring and the look of the coating is gone. If you need your finish to be in better condition, you will have to buff the micro-marring out along with thinning of the coating and further leaving your car with less protection and there are times when your car loses the additional shield. Things not only get damaged but even turns to worse. Further, the UV rays lead to the chemical reaction which turns the hard stains to an acidic solution, reacting and eating through the surface of the ceramic coating to form the concave mark. For getting rid of this mark, you need to have clay bar and quality car polish which needs to be professionally applied over the vehicle for recoating. This will help you in adding an extra layer to your car surface which means an add-on expense.

Beads+ Acid Rain= Chemical Etching on a car coat

Beads and Acid Rain

If you judge things just by name then even acid rain sounds extreme negative and bad. It can even turn worse when it comes down to vehicles in forms of water beads. Acid rain is mainly defined as rainwater that is made acidic by nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions from the industrial chimney. Scientists have found its nature and corrosive effects long back and how harmful it can turn if left untreated. Not just the coating surface, it can even damage the car paint and lead to corrosion of the vehicle part.

If the coating for car holds back the beads for long without rolling it down, trust me you will wake up to see a smattering of the etch marks. I hope no car owners will like to have a spotty car so they will definitely spend enough money to get the new look again. No matter, you can get the new coating over the car body but how many times you will change the coating. This frequent coating buffing and changes affect the car paint adversely leading to fading of the colour and charm of the car paint.

Beading and Industrial Fallout:

Water Spots

Those working in car detailing community knows exactly what and how the car paint and the applied ceramic coating can be hampered. The heavy metal such as iron embeds within the finish, leading to corrosion which eats up the body through the painted surface. In this hi-tech and industrialized world, the iron-related contaminants are inevitable but these water beading can make things worse by corroding the surface. If the beads are given the chance to settle on the coating, you will have the iron particles penetrating itself inside the paint finish very quickly. This embedding of iron can lead to corrosion of the underlying layer of paint and lower down the resistive potential of car coating.

More the beads more are the scratching on a car coat

Wait for a sec, drying is easier with beads. Saying this sentence is just equal to making excuses for not avoiding it from hampering the coated surface. You need a towel or any clean piece of cloth for mopping up the surface. With each towel that you are taking to the painted surface, the harsher you are getting to the car surface. The limit of scratches increases with more rubbing the coating. After excess washes, you will surely end up marred coating and this is where the game is over. Again, you will have to first buff it off and then further recoat it.

Choosing the correct car coating:

Car Coating

If you have got the coating which is not moving off the water beads from the finish then you need to first research the detailing market and get the best idea related to the quality of car coating. whether it is etching from the droplets or acid rain, industrial fall outs or towel induced micro-marring from abrasive drying, the ceramic coating applied over will take the pain. The 9H ceramic coating is considered as the latest and most advanced technology for preventing the car paint. A good quality ceramic coating will help you get rid of the buffing and recoating process.
