I am going to detail a car that Teflon have been applied about a year ago....If it's true what they said about Teflon,it's going to be a hard surface to detail...

Any experience on such situation before ???

The consensus is that teflon should remain in the Kitchen. Really though, there will be nothing special about the paint. What ever was applied would have wore off after a years time.

:LOLOL:LOLOL i agree with that...

So how teflon on cars work??it supposed to protect the car from light carwash scratches etc...is it just a synthetic wax??

So you suggest me to go with my normal process i guess....??
 
I really doubt there is anymore teflon left on the car since it was applied 1 year ago. I have also detailed a 'tefloned' car before, I just proceed as normal.

It's just a markething gimmick (as comfirmed by Dupont ages ago). Teflon can only be bonded to surfaces at high temps, it's not just something you can mix with a car wax and have stick to paint.



The "teflon" stuff is just another cheapie synthetic wax, don't give it another thought; just do what you'd do on any other car.

I also guess so because i saw a car before that it has 'teflon' and it was full of swirls and scratches,and the paint wasn't shiny at all...

Why the ''detailers'' ask so much money to apply it on a car(about $300 :shocked:shocked)??

People expect miracles from such stuff and the "detailers" charge so much because people will pay it ;)



Actually, most of those products aren't all that bad if applied properly, refreshed regularly, and considered in the proper perspective. A friend of mine with physical limitations gets that sort of stuff on her new vehicles (uses it as a bargaining chip when buying, doesn't really cost her anything) and she has them do the refreshers as per the sales agreement- her vehicles come back from servicing looking OK so I can't really knock the stuff.
