The external seals and plastics of the vehicle are very delicate parts, often neglected, but which require continuous and regular care. In fact, they are included among the parts of the cars that are constantly exposed to the elements and UV rays, which are the cause of their fading and hardening over time.
So let's see how to best treat them.
Why is it important to keep rubber trims young?
First of all, these are parts exposed to continuous pressures. In addition to atmospheric agents and temperatures, in fact, they are subject to friction goalkeeper, which causes them to wear out and above all to dry out .
The risks, however, are not only of an aesthetic nature: if dry, the gasket loses friction, altering its appearance. original and deforming. This could cause water accumulations that turn into water vapor resulting in fogging up of the windows, or even creating annoying noises while driving due to air infiltration.
The external plastics , if not cared for, tend to fade, become grey and dull, due to exposure to the sun, washing with aggressive detergents or simply due to natural aging after years of use.
/// CLEANSING
A dedicated cleansing helps prevent premature aging. In addition to routine washing , performed together with the rest of the bodywork with shampoo and washing glove, it is necessary to concentrate on the surface by spraying a detergent on a microfibre cloth, then spreading it with a light pressure. We recommend for example detergents such as MultiX , All Purpose Cleaner or a ready-to-use product such as Exterior Multi Cleaner . In case of stubborn dirt we recommend reapplying the product and work it with a brush in the affected area.
/// DRESS
After washing, we move on to applying the dressing , which will take care of eliminating the dryness giving a vivid color, elasticity and protection. We recommend Carpro Perl , DarkSide or Cartec Bumper & Tire Care and Vinyl .
The choice is dictated by the type of effect you want to obtain on the surface and from the possible duration of the protection conferred.
Simply pour some product onto an applicator specific and then spread it on the affected surface. Remember that the revivers can be used on unpainted plastics.
/// NANOTECHNOLOGY
If you want to provide additional and longer-lasting protection , we recommend proceeding with the application of a nanotechnological coating.
- C.Quartz BlackOut is specifically designed to protect tires and seals up to 6 months. It gives a long-lasting satin effect to the surfaces on which it is applied, preventing deterioration and protecting from UV rays.
- C.Quartz Dlux is the protector par excellence for revitalising mouldings, fascias and plastics up to 1 year. It is able to restore the finish of the surfaces on which it is applied, giving shine and depth to the color, hydrophobicity and long-lasting protection.
