After every rain, water spots and mud splatters on the car body are always a nuisance; when parked outdoors for a long time, the car paint is also prone to yellowing due to UV exposure. However, the IOTA 9970 organic polysilazane car coating not only makes water droplets "roll off instantly" on the paint surface but also resists UV rays and prevents oxidation, making car maintenance much easier for owners.
Its most intuitive advantage is "superior hydrophobicity," with a water contact angle of 110°. This means that when it rains, water droplets falling on the coated paint surface will immediately form spheres and roll off, just like they do on lotus leaves. No water spots are left on the car body, and no mud stains are formed by mixing with dust. On usual days when you encounter light rain while driving, there's basically no need to wash the car specially—the car body can still stay clean, which greatly reduces the frequency of car washes and saves both time and effort.
Moreover, its "protective power" for car paint is comprehensive and long-lasting. The silica film formed after the coating crystallizes has a hardness of 5H (based on the Chinese pencil hardness standard), so minor scratches from daily use are hardly likely to leave marks. For example, if you accidentally brush against roadside grass clumps while parking, you don't have to worry about the car paint being scratched. It also has excellent UV resistance, which can block the erosion of harmful UV rays in sunlight on the car paint, preventing problems such as fading, yellowing, and loss of luster of the car paint after long-term exposure. Even if the car is parked outdoors, the paint surface can maintain a bright and transparent appearance for a long time. In addition, it has a great anti-oxidation effect—it can isolate oxygen and pollutants in the air from reacting with the car paint, slow down the aging speed of the paint surface, and extend the "prime period" of the car paint.
It is also outstanding in enhancing the car's appearance. With a transparency of over 90%, it will not cover the original color of the car paint when applied. Instead, it can enhance the gloss and transparency of the paint surface. Especially for black or dark-colored car bodies, the glossiness is significantly improved after application, looking as bright as if it has just been waxed. Moreover, this brightness can last for a long time, unlike ordinary wax which fades in just a few days.
The application process is relatively simple, and even beginners can master it quickly. For new cars, polishing is not required; if there are minor scratches on the paint, first sand them smooth. Then, thoroughly clean the car body and perform a degreasing treatment to ensure the paint surface is dry and free of oil stains. Next, pour the ceramic coating liquid onto a microfiber cloth (or a dedicated sponge), and apply it in a crisscross pattern—"wipe once horizontally, then once vertically." It is recommended to apply it in sections: for example, start with the hood. One minute after application, use a dry towel to smooth the surface starting from the application point, then proceed to treat the doors, roof, and rear of the car in sequence. After the entire application is completed, park the car in a clean place and let it stand for 2 hours to allow the coating to fully cure.
During application, it is important to choose a dry day and avoid operating in rainy weather or high-humidity environments. Do not let the car body get wet within 24 hours after application; if you have to use the car in the rain during this period, dry the water on the paint surface in a timely manner afterward. During the application process, since the product has a slight chemical odor, remember to wear disposable gloves and do not breathe directly over the bottle mouth.
This car coating, which combines "easy maintenance, strong protection, and high aesthetics," allows car owners to keep their cars clean and bright for a long time without frequent care, making it an "excellent helper" on the journey of car maintenance.
