Body polishing. Instructions

A well-groomed and clean car looks much more attractive and richer than dirty and neglected. One of the most vulnerable places in the car is her body. It is the body that is the most important part, and is most exposed to various influences. And to achieve an external ideal state with just one washing is difficult. Because still on the surface of the car there are scratches and microcracks. To remedy these shortcomings, to restore the body to its former gloss and original appearance, as well as to increase the cost of the car, a service such as polishing the body was developed. Let us consider this process in more detail.

Polishing car body can carry in itself as a function of giving aesthetic appearance, and protects the paint from the effects of the environment. Namely, from such factors destroying the internal and external surface of the car, such as snow, rain, sand, road dust and dirt, and so on. From this, over time, small cracks and scratches may appear on the car's body, as well as a "spiderweb" of many of the same scratches. If moisture and other chemical compounds enter the damaged areas, corrosion of the metal can occur and, as a consequence, this will lead to serious damages to the body.

Therefore, to save your car, you come to the aid of polishing the bodywork. How is it performed?

Polishing the body very effectively copes with irregularities, scratches and cracks on the surface of the top layer of paint. Its main task is to "skin care" cars that are affected by the environment, as well as from inexperienced washers that could damage the paint of your car. The procedure of polishing the machine helps to restore its former purity and brilliance.

The choice of this or that kind of polishing of the car depends on in what form and condition the paint and varnish covering of the body. In addition, the definition of an option affects the purpose of polishing: either you want to protect the surface of the body, or restore.

Therefore, the following types of polishing are distinguished: restorative, protective and complex.

Protective polishing of the body is used to protect the paint from mechanical and chemical influences of the environment, such as sunlight, rain, road dust and sand, salt, alkali and so on. This procedure helps restore shine and cleanliness of the outer layer of paint. It consists in applying a layer of wax or silicone coating (also can be used as a coating for liquid glass) on the body surface. Thus, it creates on the paint and varnish an invisible protective polymer film that has the property of repelling dirt and moisture. In general, the duration of the protective film can vary from 1 to 12 months. This type of polishing is the cheapest, and is used for preventive purposes.

The restoring polishing of the body is different from the protective one. It is necessary in those cases when the paint layer already has any defects: abrasion of the paint, scratches, "spider web", cracks. If these defects are not strongly expressed, then soft restoring polishing can be used, if it is sufficiently bright, then abrasive polishing is used. The procedure of restoring polishing smooths out any irregularities and roughness that appear on the surface of the body during the operation of the car.
