Brief Overview of Professional Car Polishing Process at Opti Coat India
Posted: Oct 15, 2018
The natural pollutants may leave unsightly marks on the clear coat of a car’s paint. To remove these imperfections, it is essential to polish a car at routine intervals. The car polishing process is equally essential before the application of ceramic paint-protection coating or film. These highly durable coats may last for years and may bury any type of imperfection for years. It is only possible to remove these defects after stripping off the clear-coat of ceramic. Hence, it is prudent to polish a car before the application of paint-protection coating or waxing. Experienced auto-detailers focus on polishing due to this reason and never apply paint-protection coating or film without polishing.
Deep Rinsing
Opti Coat India experienced auto-detailers start the polishing process with deep car cleaning. It is a vital step before polishing because the dirt particles may leave swirl marks. These professionals use pressurized jets of water to clean the cars. These professionals use proprietary pressure washers, such as HRC-PRO, HRK-PRO or Susette-180/13, to clean the cars with pressurized jets of foam and hot/cold water.
These semi-automatic washers have suitable accessories to clean any automobile within a few minutes’ time. The auto-detailers use a twin-foam lance to cover an entire car with the foam of proprietary cleaning solution. This solution can readily dissolve the dirt and the pressured jets of water can quickly wash the dirty foam away from every inch of any car. These experts use a shaded area to clean the cars to prevent the foam from drying and leaving unsightly marks. The tires, hubcaps and chassis also receive a thorough cleaning.
Polishing Process
Car detailing process starts after cleaning and wiping of the car. The vehicle is softly wiped to keep it moist for polishing. Opti Coat India auto-detailers use a rotary machine and a damp polishing pad to spread the polishing compound onto a small surface of a car. The machine rotates at a medium speed whilst spreading the compound and polishing the surface at the same time. The expert detailers know to keep the pad parallel to the surface and to move back and forth to avoid swirl marks.
The paint starts heating up due to friction with the rotary wheel and the scratch marks in the top-coat start disappearing. The experienced detailers take precautionary measures to avoid damages to the trim areas, as the edge of the polishing pad touches these areas with higher force. However, the cars can avoid having a burnt finish due to expertise of these detailers.
Final Step during Polishing
Car polishing process ends with final cleaning of the vehicle. Auto-detailers may apply a coating of liquid wax or ceramic paint-protection to prevent the development of blemishes in the future. The application of a paint-protection coating happens according to a client’s desire.
With these tips and tricks, you can without quite a bit of a stretch make an auto that you had needed for long, yet couldn't in light of exorbitant work costs included.
