【Car Maintenance】It's not enough to just have gloss and water-repellent properties! Protect your beloved car with heat-insulating base coating

Considering today's climate, what we seek in car coatings is more “UV cut” performance than “water repellent.” A single application can suppress the rise in interior temperature by up to 30%, ushering in a new era of coatings!

More effective than high-performance IR cut film

The extreme heat of recent years has become a serious social issue from the perspective of safety, comfort, and environmental impact. Typical coating materials primarily aim for gloss and water repellency, but what stands out is "MUSASHI LEGEND." It features a heat-blocking base coating that retains the conventional water-repellent and glossy properties while adding heat insulation performance.
The distributor, Novacolona, has released empirical data based on the supervision of external testing organizations. It was reported that when a "Tesla Model 3" was left in the blazing sun for two hours, the internal temperature dropped by 5-6°C (an average reduction of about 20%, with a maximum suppression of over 30%). In the demonstration experiment, the initial internal temperature was 71°C, and with only the high-performance IR cut film, it was reduced to 67-68°C; with just the coating, it was 63-64°C, indicating that the coating was more effective than the film.
The superiority over film is not just in heat-blocking performance. The ability to maintain almost full transparency, with over 99% clarity, ensuring clear visibility, is also appealing. However, combining the coating with the film results in an internal temperature of 58-60°C, which is significantly effective, so it is recommended to use them together.

Can be combined with your favorite coating agent.

In addition to its heat insulation properties, the coating features a deep luster with a ceramic base that is resistant to acids, alkalis, and salt damage, offering long-term weather resistance with a durability of about 3 years, making it exceptionally cost-effective. The water-repellent angle is above 95°, and the hardness is 9H.
It can also be used as a base coat, and even after curing, using a preferred coating does not compromise its heat insulation performance. The application process is quick, taking only a few tens of minutes to half a day, adding to its appeal.
Currently, it is available for sale in limited quantities at the official online shop. By the way, after it sells out, it will be available for pre-order (to be delivered in about 1-2 months). There is a possibility of delays depending on the order status, so it is recommended to secure it while you can.
