A typical full paint correction will involve a lengthy and meticulous process as follows.
1. Pre rinse vehicles paintwork and allow to soak under a blanket of 'Snow Foam'
2. Whilst the cars paint is soaking to loosen up the dirt we clean the wheels using PH neutral wheel cleaner to remove brake dust and tar spots form both the face & the inside edges of the wheels. At the same time, the tires will be cleaned removing inground dirt.
3. Pre treat & jet wash inside the wheel arches to remove dirt.
4. Rinse the car's bodywork with clean water & then wash carefully using the "two bucket" method to minimize contaminant transferal to the cars paintwork, thereby minimizing infliction of "wash marks". All washing carried out using 100% lambs wool wash mitts.
5. The cars bodywork & wheels are the carefully dried using "waffle weave" and microfibre drying cloths.
6. Bonded contaminants on the cars paintwork are now removed using a clay bar to leave a smooth surface ready for machine polishing.
7. Measurements are then taken of the thickness of the cars paint using a Fischer paint thickness gauge; any areas that are thinner than desirable will require very careful consideration as to the best method of correction to avoid breaking through the paint.
8. Nearly ready for machine polishing now, but first we check the paint condition with the aid of a Brinkman paint inspection lamp, this makes spotting any imperfections a great deal easier.
9. Only now is the paintwork ready for machine polishing. Using an electrical machine polisher, we start with the finest grade of polish, gradually working up to coarser grades of polish as required to achieve a good level of correction. Then we work back down to the finest grade of polish to refine the paints finish. At all stages the cars trim adjacent to the area being worked on will be masked carefully to avoid damage.
10. At this stage it may be necessary to carry out some localized wet sanding to facilitate full removal of any RDS (random deep scratches), once again, paint thickness will be checked, if the paint is too thin wet sanding will not be possible.
