Wonders of auto cosmetics: polishing abrasive

It would seem that quite recently you drove a brand-new car that gave its shine a special cheerfulness to a dreary garage. And now you notice small scratches and a tarnished paint and varnish coating of the car body. From the former glitter there is no trace left. Alas, the ability to obsolete is inherent in absolutely all products, and cars in this is no exception. But there is a great way to give a second life to your faithful iron horse. It's called a miracle - polishing abrasive.

Types of polishing

Care for the body of the car is composed of different operations. One of them is polishing. It can be of two types:

• Protective;
• Regenerative.

Specialists call one more variety - complex, but it, in fact, includes these 2 types.

Protective polishing is used for preventive purposes. It is used to remove water stains left by ordinary drops of rain, oil stains, dirt and dust. This procedure should be carried out at least 2 times a year.

Polishing abrasive (it's also a reductive) is a more complicated process. Its application is actual in those cases when on the body of the car there were scratches, chips, and the paint faded and lost its presentable appearance. The essence of this procedure is to remove a thin layer of varnish, which has suffered most from scratches and cracks. The paintwork on vehicles is thick enough, so you can polish the car several times.

Tools for abrasive polishing

To carry out recovery operations, you will need:

• Polishing machine. It is desirable to use an average speed of rotation, then the surface will not overheat.
• Grinding discs. They handle scratches.
• Polishing wheels. There are different degrees of rigidity.
• Abrasive paste for polishing.

The last remedy I want to say more.

All polishing pastes , depending on the purpose with which they are applied, are divided into 3 types:

1. Large abrasive products. Used to remove enamel stains, cracks and scratches.
2. Fine abrasive. Used to give the car auto shine.
3. Disgusting. They serve as protection for the LCP.

Polishing abrasive: the features of the process

Before you start polishing, you need to wash the machine properly. After washing, the surface is degreased. For this purpose, both special means and conventional (diesel fuel, white spirit) are used.

Polishing abrasive includes several stages:

• At first the body is treated with a coarse abrasive paste and a hard polishing wheel.
• Then a small-tool and a soft circle are used.
• After that, the machine is well washed.
• The finishing touch is the processing with an unabridged paste.

It should be remembered that it is desirable to refuse polishing in sunny or cold weather. It is best to conduct the procedure not in the open air, but in the garage.

Unrecognizability can transform your car abrasive polishing. Feedback from those who have already encountered it, indicate its effectiveness. But many note the only negative - it removes too much varnish, so do it only if necessary. Especially dangerous is the procedure for Japanese cars, because they have a very thin paint and varnish coating of the body. But when the scratches are serious, then you can not do without abrasive treatment.
