You may have heard of a car polish known as nano coating. Supposedly, this coating is so durable that a single application lasts for the life of the car. Do nano coatings deliver as promised? Let’s find out.

What Is Nano Coating?

Nanoman brand car polish, or “nano” coating for short, uses very thin polymeric chemical substances that are highly resistant to corrosion and other chemical reactions. When you apply the liquid, it forms an adhesive bond with the car paint. The coating claims to be so durable that it won’t erode when you wash the car or when it rains. In short, nano coating forms a barrier designed to protect the car metal from oxidization.

Is Nano Coating Legit?

As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We believe this partially applies here. Some nano coating makers claim once you apply the coating, you’ll never have to wash and wax again. This is pure bunk. No polish lasts forever. If this were true, vehicle detailing services would have gone out of business long ago.

Another claim made by these coating manufacturers is that the coating protects against rock chips. The coating is too thin to protect against pelting pebbles. You can, however, minimize chips by applying nano coating over a thicker clear bra polyurethane film.

We should also note that nano has a 9H rating. This means it’s resistant against lead, such as from a pencil. Contrary to popular belief, the 9H rating is not the same as a 9H on the Mineral Hardness Scale. If it were, the coating would be nearly as strong as diamond, which is certainly not the case.

I was blown away with how my car looked after I had it detailed at Henry’s. I will definitely be taking all my cars here when they need a detailing and have no issues recommending Henry’s to all my friends.

The guys at Henry’s did an amazing job with my car! I have two very furry pups and a child who is disgusting. My car was taken to Henry’s and when we picked it up I actually didn’t recognize it at first! It was gorgeous, like it had just come off the showroom floor. They did such a great job cleaning the car up! It was so nice I made my daughter take her shoes off before getting in the car! Thank you so much for all the hard work!

I left my car sitting for awhile without realizing my kids had left food on the back seat, and came back to mold growing on the upholstery. I called Henry's and they were able to see me that same day, and when I picked the car up that night it looked and smelled brand new. And it was a yucky, sticky car before. Everybody was friendly and professional and the whole experience was simple. Would recommend, will be going again myself.

Henry's did an outstanding interior and exterior detail service of my vehicle. When I picked it up it, my car was in better condition than when I bought it from the dealership. Over Thanksgiving weekend my brother had vomited in my new car all over the passenger side and down inside the window well. My particular service involved the door of my car needing to be taken apart for detailing of vomit that rolled down with the window. Henry and his team carefully and professionally took apart my car where needed to complete the full detail and remove all of the vomit. I found them to be expert in performance, knowledge of products to use, and how to best care for my situation. The smell is completely gone and my car was put back together correctly! They managed to squeeze me in before I had to head back home. The best part about this business is they are friendly and genuine to each customer. I felt truly taken care of and didn't have to worry if I was going to be taken advantage of like at a dealership. They care about their work and the people that come to them. Plus it feels great to support a family business! Henry's your man!

Excellent detailing on my Subaru. It was filthy and I was not sure some of the stains would come out. When i picked it up it looked brand new! This is my second detailing with Henry’s and I definitely recommend them.
