I have booked a Unicorn and would like to have a protective coating for the paint. Is there anything present in the market which can prevent scratches, corrosion, etc. My dealer says that Teflon coating or wax coating can be done. But according to some sites which I visited, Teflon coating is unproductive. It's only productive for the dealers (i.e. Dealers make lot of money).


Could some one please help me on this and suggest which coating should be done to protect vehicular paint for longer amount of time.


I would be updating this review as and when I get my bike.

Following is a text of non teflon coating.



To those with the eternal question: ''To Teflon Coat or Not''


To give a slight insight to my knowledge on the subject, I have owned and operated an auto detailing company for the past 15 years. Needing to be competitive in the industry (and wanting to keep my personal vehicles in immaculate condition) I have stayed on top of many different products, procedures, and processes pertaining to the upkeep of ones automobiles.


Now understand that the companies claiming protection from the ''TEFLON COATING'' (usually applied by the dealers) is a tactic to increase their own bottom line. Understand that the dealer is there to make Money...and as much as possible whenever the opportunity arises. Not that I have a challenge with profit.


I have had several clients purchase new vehicles over the years, and have had the ''TEFLON COATING'' applied to their vehicle, thinking that the process would in fact not only maintain the beauty of their automobile, but would decrease the cost of upkeep over the life of the car. With personal, long term accounts of a ''TEFLON COATED'' automobile, I feel I can make an educated assessment of the procedure, and if it does indeed hold up better than a vehicle without.


Again, remember that I have a soft spot for that beautiful word ''Profit'' and feel that in this Great Nation we call America, that life would no longer exist without it (profit). That being said, if I could ''TEFLON COAT'' a car, AND it did what they (Dealers and Teflon Coating Companies) claim it does, I would find a company, or start one myself that actually performed the procedure to have the process done to all of the hundreds of cars I have direct ties to (not to mention my own collection of automobiles). I would charge the $300, $400, or even $500 that it cost to have this procedure done, make all of my maintenance profit in one day, maintain the ''TEFLON COAT'' ANNUALLY (which most companies will tell you is needed, and which cost another $500) to where I would never worry about the paint for the rest of the year (with the exceptional regular washing) and be a happy camper with much more ''PROFIT''


In conclusion I feel the best and most effective way to maintain the beauty and over durability of you car is to wash it regularly (weekly). Wax it frequently (monthly). Most reputable companies in the automotive protection (wax) business make several good products.


Hope this helps. And Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
