What kind of scratches can car polishing repair?
2 Answers
Scratches caused by car washing or sand and stones during driving can be repaired by car polishing. Below is relevant information about car polishing: 1. Market position: From the perspective of car polishing, market demand is substantial, while supply is slightly insufficient. Particularly, there are not many enterprises with core intellectual property rights and high-quality products, resulting in an overall lack of brand effect in the industry. During periods of strong demand, the industry demand is enormous, and the development prospects are undoubtedly good. 2. Polishing steps: After the car surface is sprayed, minor defects such as coarse particles, sandpaper marks, flow marks, whitening, and orange peel may appear on the paint film surface. To compensate for these defects, grinding and car polishing are usually performed after spraying to improve the mirror effect of the paint film, achieving the requirements of brightness, smoothness, and brilliance.
I've been into car detailing for over a decade and have performed polishing myself more than twenty times. Polishing works best for hairline scratches and swirl marks on the outermost layer of paint - those shallow scratches that don't catch your fingernail can usually be completely removed. Those small white-looking scratches visible under sunlight are actually clear coat damage, which can be eliminated with three passes using a medium abrasive compound with a foam pad. But be careful not to over-polish metallic paint, as the color layer is too thin and may reveal the primer. The roof is most prone to bird dropping corrosion marks that appear as spots, and timely polishing can prevent further corrosion. Remember, each polishing session actually removes a thin layer of paint, so limit it to twice a year maximum, and always apply sealant or ceramic coating to protect the newly exposed paint surface afterwards.
