Can a Handheld Drill Be Used for Car Polishing?
1 Answers
Handheld drills cannot be used for car polishing. A waxing machine operates with high vibration and low rotational speed. A handheld drill can be modified into a polisher. The general basic structure of automotive paint consists of: clear coat—color coat—primer—phosphating layer (baked primer)—metal sheet. Judgment of paint scratches: Hairline scratches: Fine scratches caused by washing, wiping, or minor friction, imperceptible to the touch. Light scratches: Scratches that damage the topcoat without exposing the primer. Moderate scratches: Scratches that damage the topcoat and expose the primer. Deep scratches: Scratches that expose the metal sheet of the car. Definition of polishing: Polishing involves removing a thin layer of the car paint, eliminating dirt along with the paint layer.
