teflon

Teflon will not do any thing to protect your paint. Dupont allows Product Mfg. to use this trade mark if they use there teflon product line. It is a marketing tool. It's just an addtive. Not that all products are bad that advertise Teflon but dont be fooled thinking you are geting something special.



Good Luck and don't let the comming coments get to you.

This is your quote from your first post



""Hello everyone. My name is Tino I am a mobile detailer in the Maryland area. I have been detailing for about 4 years I know how to clean a car inside and out, but The only one thing I need help on is wetsanding. When customers ask me to do it or if I see that the scratch is too much for me to coorect, I send them to the body shop. I want to have wetsanding a part of my services to increase profit. Also I cannot call myself a professional if I don't know all aspects of detailing, because I am missing this one thing. I haven't really practiced with it much, just on my car because it's old. Any tips ???????""



I think you need to read davids e book and use the search botton because there are threads on this

what was the point of posting that holland patrick?......., and thanks dents and details for you help. i thought that this sealant had additives to it
 
Most car care products have additives in them (silicone is called an additive because of a misguided fear of what silicone really is) Teflon is also an â€Ëœadditiveâ€â„¢ but all it does is to call attention to â€Ëœbrand recognitionâ€â„¢, it wonâ€â„¢t do anything by itself to help the chosen product, and Iâ€â„¢m equally sure it wonâ€â„¢t harm the paint either (unless you try to help it (Teflon) provide a non-stick surface (heating the surface to a temperature of 680oF)

I wonder , does teflon in a sealant make the sealant less durable? I mean, here you have a component that will not crosslink to anything. In fact it is supposed to repel everything. Perhaps the teflon particles are extremely tiny, and are embedded in the wax/sealant, in some way. So, if enough particles to repel enviornmental contaminants are present, are you losing some coating power due to the presence of a substance which by its nature wont stick to anything. And are you weakening the cured product by having a component part of the total coating loose. (not bonded)?:(





Picture Swiss Cheese, except the voids are filled with something solid which weakens the structure... or at least does not make it stronger.
 
According to Dupont, Teflon® has to be applied at over 600 degrees to actually bond.



Like the others said, it is nothing but marketing hype.
