Material composition and characteristics: TPU color changing car clothing: It is a product that combines the advantages of color changing film and invisible car clothing. Its main material is thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU), which has good flexibility, wear resistance, weather resistance, and resistance to yellowing. It can provide good protection for the car paint like an invisible car cover, preventing minor scratches, stone impacts, and other damage to the car paint, while also achieving the purpose of color change to meet the personalized needs of car owners. And TPU color changing car clothes also have scratch self repair function under certain conditions, and some high-quality products can even stretch to 100% without losing their luster.
Color changing film: The material is mostly polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and some materials such as PET are also used. PVC color changing film has a wide range of color options and relatively low prices, but its durability is poor and it is prone to fading, cracking, and other phenomena. Its protective effect on car paint is relatively weak. PET color changing film has improved color stability and durability compared to PVC, but its overall protective performance is still inferior to TPU color changing car clothing.
Crystal plating: The main component is inorganic substances such as silicon dioxide, which forms a hard crystalline film on the surface of the car paint to protect it. This layer of crystal has high hardness, can resist slight scratches, improve the glossiness and smoothness of the car paint, and also has good oxidation and corrosion resistance.
2. Construction difficulty and process: TPU color changing car clothes: The construction is relatively complex and requires high technical requirements for construction personnel. Due to the characteristics of TPU material, attention should be paid to the flatness and adhesion of the film during the construction process to avoid problems such as bubbles and wrinkles. Especially for some complex body curves and corners, construction personnel need to have rich experience and skills.
Color changing film: The construction difficulty is relatively low, but it also requires professional construction personnel to operate. Generally, dry or wet pasting methods are used. Before applying the film, the surface of the vehicle needs to be cleaned and degreased to ensure the effectiveness and adhesion of the film.
Crystal plating: The construction process is relatively complicated and requires multiple steps, including paint cleaning, polishing and restoration, degreasing, crystal plating construction, etc. Among them, polishing restoration is a key step that requires construction personnel to choose appropriate polishing agents and polishing discs according to the condition of the car paint, in order to avoid damage to the car paint. During crystal plating construction, it is necessary to evenly apply the crystal plating solution onto the car paint and accelerate the formation of the crystal layer through wiping and other methods.
3. Protection effect and durability: TPU color changing car wrap: It has a good protective effect and can effectively resist daily minor scratches, stone impacts, bird droppings corrosion, etc. It provides comprehensive protection for car paint. At the same time, its color stability is high, it is not easy to fade or discolor, and its service life is generally around 3-5 years. Some high-quality products can even be longer.
Color changing film: Its main function is to change the appearance color of the vehicle, and its protective effect on the car paint is limited. Although it can prevent minor scratches to a certain extent, the protective effect is not good for larger impact forces and wear. The service life is generally 1-2 years.
Crystal plating: It can form a hard crystal protective layer on the surface of car paint, which has a significant effect on improving the hardness of car paint and can effectively prevent minor scratches and chemical erosion. However, the durability of its protective effect is relatively short, usually around 1-2 years, and requires regular maintenance and upkeep.
4. Price range: TPU color changing car clothes: The price is relatively high. Due to its high material cost and construction difficulty, the price of Kearns pure TPU color changing car clothes on the market is generally above 5000 yuan, or even higher. However, considering its comprehensive performance and service life, it is an ideal choice for car owners who pursue high quality and personalization.
Color changing film: The price is relatively affordable, with ordinary color changing films priced between 2000-5000 yuan. Some high-end brands or special materials of color changing films may have higher prices, with even lower prices around 1000 yuan.
Crystal plating: The price is moderate, and the cost of a single crystal plating is generally around 1000-3000 yuan. However, due to the limited durability of its protective effect, regular construction is required, so in the long run, the cost is not low.
5. Post maintenance and upkeep: TPU color changing car clothes: Daily maintenance is relatively simple, just regularly clean the vehicle, avoid using irritating cleaning agents and tools to avoid damaging the surface of the car clothes. If there are slight scratches on the surface of the car cover, they can be repaired by heating or other methods. After using the car clothes for a period of time, if there is serious wear or damage, they need to be replaced in a timely manner.
Color changing film: During later maintenance, attention should be paid to avoiding scratches and collisions to prevent damage to the film surface. If there are problems such as bubbling or fading in the color changing film, it needs to be dealt with in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the vehicle. When replacing the color changing film, it is necessary to thoroughly remove the original film to prevent residual glue from damaging the car paint.
Crystal plating: Vehicles after crystal plating need to be careful not to come into contact with water and chemicals in the short term to avoid affecting the crystal plating effect. Regularly cleaning and waxing vehicles can extend the protective effect of crystal plating. It is generally recommended to perform crystal plating maintenance and upkeep every 3-6 months.
