Clear Coating Your Electric Vehicle: Best Protection for Aluminum

TLDR: Why should you clear coat your electric vehicle (EV)? Clear coating protects your EV’s aluminum surfaces from corrosion, UV rays, and scratches, keeping it looking brand new. Alumaclear’s Clear Coat System, combined with AlumaPolish and TCI 503 provides unbeatable protection and shine.


Electric vehicles (EVs) are a big investment. To keep them looking great and running well, you need to protect their aluminum surfaces. A clear coat is a strong, protective layer that keeps your EV safe from rust, fading, and damage. Alumaclear’s Clear Coat System is perfect for EVs and how you can easily keep your vehicle polished and protected with AlumaPolish, TCI 503, and the Alumaclear 16 oz Spray Can.

1. Why Clear Coating Matters for EVs

Your electric vehicle’s aluminum body is exposed to a lot of harsh elements—corrosive road salt, UV rays from the sun, and flying debris from the road. A clear coat acts like a protective shield, making sure these elements don’t damage your EV’s exterior.

  • Corrosion Protection: Aluminum can corrode over time, especially in tough environments like salty roads. Alumaclear’s Clear Coat prevents corrosion and rust, helping your EV last longer.
  • UV Ray Protection: The sun can cause your EV’s paint to fade, making it look old and worn. A clear coat blocks harmful UV rays and keeps your vehicle’s color looking fresh.
  • Scratch Resistance: Everyday driving can lead to small scratches and dings. A clear coat forms a barrier that helps protect your EV from these minor damages.

2. Alumaclear’s Clear Coat System: Ideal for EVs

EVs are often made with lightweight aluminum to improve efficiency. Alumaclear’s Clear Coat System is specially designed to bond with aluminum, giving your vehicle maximum protection while keeping it looking sleek.

  • Perfect for Aluminum: It’s made to protect aluminum surfaces, which are common in EVs.
  • Durable Gloss: Alumaclear not only protects but also adds a shiny, glossy finish to your EV, making it look as good as new.

3. How AlumaPolish and TCI 503 Help Maintain Your EV

To keep your EV looking polished and smooth, regular maintenance is key. Products like AlumaPolish and TCI 503 make this easy.

  • AlumaPolish: After using it, your EV’s aluminum surfaces will shine, and it also adds a layer of protection against oxidation. It’s perfect for regular upkeep to keep your EV looking its best.
  • TCI 503: If your EV’s surfaces are really dirty or have heavy buildup, TCI 503 will help clean them without damaging the aluminum. It’s a strong cleaner that’s safe for regular use.

4. Seal the Shine with the Alumaclear 16 oz Spray Can

Once you’ve polished your EV with AlumaPolish, you can lock in that shine with the Alumaclear 16 oz Spray Can.
