Clay Bar and proper maintenance of Automotive Paint Finishes!
Of all the information out there and all products sold to the public to preserve and protect your vehicle's € ™ s end, little or nothing is said about a simple product that is used in the Automotive Detailing and Paint repair industry.
Some retailers donâ € ™ t really understand the benefits of using this product in the way I speak, and how it is beneficial to their customers and what should be done on a normal basis!
So what is this product?
It's called clay bar.
This is not a new product or a product secret. However, it is well known product. Its use even by manufacturers is not well explained or understood.
We have an idea that is unique and not well understood by retailers or body due to the wide range of restoring appearance of the car we specialize Since in many vehicles that have already been detailed work we have to leave the vehicles "frontline ready" when we're done.
Unlike a body shop, whose work does not include any â € ~ detailing that "we have to stop working on vehicles' first ready line. "Moreover, unlike a detail shop with expertise in painting restoration.
Why is it important to you, and how our experience and knowledge can benefit you?
First let me explain a basic rule for the preparation of paint in preparation for refinishing. The area being worked on must be completely "sterile" and properly scraped for new paint to adhere either the area to be painted.
Let me illustrate it this way. If I paint something that has a sticker on it and paint over sticker What if € ™ s decal glue loses its adhesive quality? This area undoubtedly will fall sooner or later. You do not paint on a stretch pin or sticker, but on a larger scale if you have removed all contaminants from surface is great adhesion and a long lasting paint job!
One of the biggest things that makes a job quality paint paint job is how well the surface has been "preppedâ € ™, I can not stress this point enough!
Any Once priced a paint job? Have you ever wondered why some body shops can do a paint job for $ 400 and others will tell you $ 3000?!
Did you know that the factory paint job on your vehicle can be valued somewhere between $ 3000 to $ 6000 depending on brand and model? Any work painting is not done with the standard factory can devalue your vehicle the amount of work in a paint factory.
The preparation work done for a paint job when done correctly can be the difference between a quality paint factory and a disaster!
So you have this painting $ 6000 $ 3000 – Working on your car, how do you protect?
First, not to be overlooked by not damage the surface of removing contaminants such as tar, sap, insects, the industrial, etc Sap can really boil in the sun and burn the finish under the SAP, ruining the panel where the sap is.
Second, make sure your wax or sealants used to protect your paint job is good quality and prepare for the arrival for good adhesion of the wax or sealant.
If "readiness" to finish wax or sealant? Of course! However, most people think they are preparing for the wax, but are not. So how does "prepare" for finishing wax?
The best way to "prepare" their vehicles to finish wax or paint sealant is to use a clay bar! Before the wax and after washing The vehicle uses a clay bar at least once every year or every six months for the better protection than the face-painting work.
A clay bar will remove any surface contaminants that washing did not. You can even remove hard water stains in the paint if not too bad. This is also the only way to remove spray paint. A clay bar can also be used in the glass and headlights that should be part of your routine espeacially wax or sealant if the lenses have restored the headlights.
How do you use a clay bar?
A clay bar should be used with a lubricant. It's a really simple process. In fact, you can even use water as a lubricant. However, it is best to use a spray form which lubricates both clay panels which are blocking and can be used to clean clay residue on the fly.
Simply spray the area are clay barring € | a 12 "X 12" is the best area and rub the surface with the clay bar back and forth in a move from side to side. You will hear the clay bar and collect light pollution as the surface is cleaned you stop hearing the motion clay bar.
You may also feel the surface. If it feels rough like sand chips after washing, clay has to be prescribed. Using the same method as before, and hear and feel the area you are working off dry after.
So the work of its small area dry when you think it is finished and check the surface with the inside of his hand stroking the feeling and listening to difficult areas. Once have completed a section that can move to the next.
A word of caution, has said, though I never gave this experience, that a clay bar can not rub the paint eventually if kept lubricated during use. Use common sense and you should be fine.
Well there it is, this is the best way to preparation for waxing his car and a good way to be sure you get the best results of the wax.
Enjoy and I hope this article helps!
