Surface treatments in automotive

Surface treatments in automotive refer to processes applied to a vehicle’s exterior or interior surfaces to improve durability, appearance, and resistance to environmental factors. These treatments include painting, coating, galvanizing, and polishing, which protect against corrosion, scratches, and weathering. For example, paint not only adds color but also shields metal parts from rust. Chrome plating provides a shiny finish and corrosion resistance, while wax or sealants help preserve the paint's shine and protect from dirt and moisture. Overall, surface treatments enhance a vehicle's longevity, safety, and aesthetic appeal.
