teflon coating

[justdrive]

so this place I contacted regarding car detailing

$150 initial then $50 per month touch up or $70/2mo.

they do the complete car detailing inside outside, under the hood

they say they don't use wax....because it melts...but that they use teflon coating which they say leaves no swirl marks.,..and supposedly is a stronger protectant against the sun and the oxidizing elemants

is teflon o.k. to use on a car
is it better than the caruba wax
is the price high (it seems expensive)


I figure if teflon is o.k. then I could do a regular wash myself between the 2mo teflon/detailing touch-up

Do they have a website?... Is this service available in every state?

 

[justdrive]

their website has some info...I briefly scanned it, but saw nothing about their specifics on detailing....so I called them and spoke to this friendly laadly who says she has a black BMW which she says is show room new appearing without any swirls or fading...so she swears by the teflon coating

anyways the site address is as follows

hope this helps....I will probably do a google search to learn more...if I find any new info I will post that too

The dealer applied a teflon-based Protective Paint package from Commodore Coatings on my car as part of the purchase. Definitely no swirl marks. After a month, water still beads on the surface, which is smooth as glass to the touch. According to them, it must be "rejuvinated" every six months by me using the included bottle of coating. It looks like a simple apply-and-wipe-off procedure, similar to liquid wax.

thanx vlad

thanx vlad...I had a feeling you would have an informed opinion on this.

what little I read on google searching is that the real teflon only adheres at
high temps.....temps so high that they can't be used on cars.

this info cited studies from 1989....so perhaps there is new stuff out there.

however, most sites were advertisement sites for carwash places that use wax
and they were implying teflon was a gimmick
