How to Polish Your Car Paint professionally Like the Workshops

It isn't the tools that are used in a job that make it good or bad, it's the someone using those tools, the technician who makes the difference. In car polishing a good technician can make that quit look better than when you bought the car, and you wouldn't think twice about how they could do that, but in this short article, I will go over some points that technicians know, or should know.

Spray Paint On Cars

The main problems when it comes to auto finishing are things like paint runs, sags, dirt nibs and just plain old polishing in general. To start with, make sure that the quit is dry in accordance with the information from the stock sheet as failure to do this could damage the finish, production the whole job very costly.

The allowable Way to Polish:
When using a polish, make sure it is specifically or can be used for urethane finishes and not lacquer finishes. When sanding, make sure that you use the finer 1000grit paper, as policy grit sandpaper can ruin a finish.

The polisher speed should be set at 1200 - 1700 rpm's to ensure the best result. It is also very important to make sure that you are using the right type of pad before you start. To know what the best pad types, always check the stock data sheets and they'll steer you in the right direction, remember, if in doubt, check the sheet.

On the blend edges when you are, polishing be sure to work away from the edge
and never directly into it. The most recommended method for a blend edge is to hand glaze rather than engine polish. When you have to hand glaze, always a cloth that is not rough and make sure it is clean for both the application and when taking the glaze off.

Getting Rid Of Imperfections:
As with polishing, always check with the right manufacturers stock data sheet before sanding, or polishing, this will give you the recommended dry times before polishing. always make sure that before you begin any work on the exterior that you take off debris and material. If this isn't done, the results will be high-priced and catastrophic.

It is so important that the allowable prep work be done so that the exterior is: Free of imperfections like dirt nibs. You can use 1500 or better grit for wet sanding to get rid of these. To make sure there are no more imperfections on the surface, sand the exterior with a block sander, not necessarily the whole surface, spot sanding will do.

The Last Step:
Use the polisher lightly to eliminate sand scratches using the right liquid polish. When using the polisher, set it to 1200 - 1700 rpm and use a wool pad first. Next, you will need to use a foam pad. Finally, you need a non- polisher glaze.

Always remember that if you are in doubt about what to use or how to do it, consult the manufacturer's list of education and information data sheet .Don't be in a hurry, if you take your time you won't make the mistakes that you will only regret.
