Back to where it was

Color restoration products are on the market. Buy the one reputed brand and a glorious fleet is just a few hours and minimum manpower away.

Here’s how you can restore your fleet to its original color and shine.

• To justify the coating job, it is essential for the substrate to be clean; devoid of any dirt and dust particles. So, first clean and wash the vehicle thoroughly. Or else, the coating will cover the dust, not the substrate. Moreover, dust particles can cause scratches while applying the restoration product.
• Use a detergent soap and cloth designed for fleet vehicle cleaning. These are not harsh and cause no damage to the original paint coat.
• Remember to do the washing under the shade of a garage and when the vehicle is not too hot. Or else, the water will dry up immediately before cleaning, and thus, cause ugly water spots.
• The next step is to clean the original paint. Often, car paints get oxidized and you need to fix this before carrying out the polishing job. The first step is to treat the oxidation with oxidation products available in the market.
• I would delete the rest below, or change it around because we are marketing as an alternative to waxing and polishing. Our product is better than wax or polish because it is quicker and easier, it is very cost-effective, and it lasts much longer than wax or polish.
• Among waxing and polishing, which is better? Waxing brings back the original shine to the car’s surface. Waxing products are made up of carnuba or synthetic wax. Undoubtedly, this brings back the shine, but must be frequently re-applied to maintain the same. Polish on the other hand contains polymers, which adhere better to the car’s paint and provide additional protection to the paint. It is therefore, advisable to use polishing products to attain the original color and also preserve it.
• Waxing is advisable after polishing. It not only adds an additional layer of protection, but also adds the glisten and sparkle to the restored paint.

Apply the best color restoration products and see your fleet carry your company’s name and reputation proudly once again.
