This process can be broadly sub classified into following stages:
Washing
Clay Bar Treatment – The paint on your car is constantly under attack from several contaminants like Tar, Brake Dust, Tree Sap, Rain deposits etc. These contaminants may contain metal particulates that can penetrate the clear coat to attack the paint below. These contaminants then oxidize, and they allow rust to spread. Detailing clay is a substance that is designed to remove bonded contaminants from paint, leaving the paint smooth as glass; allowing easier and more fruitful applications of Coatings
Wet Sanding – When we ‘wet sand,’ we are carefully shaving off a microscopic layer of a paint surface using abrasive sandpapers/pads and water. We do this in order to leave a ‘flat,’ mirror-like surface, completely free of imperfections and with unparalleled gloss levels.
Paint Restoration (Compounding and Polishing) – Polishing is a broad term for a range of processes designed to either remove or mask sub-surface paint defects and greatly enhance surface gloss in readiness for coating.
Preparation is the key to achieving amazing car care results. No matter how many coats of it you apply, you will not achieve a perfect finish unless you spend time preparing your paint properly.
