OK boys and girls, talk about cars cutting and polishing the paint on the subject, this lack of sensitivity with a lot of people who think that this step is not necessary, and this, of course, will depend on where the car seems to be over the cut and glossy finish looks very different from a non-cutting and glossy finish, and yes, there is a significant risk to the paint, if the person doing the cutting and polishing is notThe experience with the procedure that can devastate your new paint job and you do not need to repaint the car, so make sure they know what they are doing.
The first step after you pull the car from the paint booth should be to expose it, then I suggest you re-cover the machine with a clean liner, but do you really need to do this if you do not mix the polish Cleaning car turns out to be much more difficult when you do not form again,They were just kind of spend time depends, in my opinion should always do.
Now that we have that, for a distance before yo form of the car, you should wash and then blow it with compressed air to remove excess water, a car can be cleaned is not enough before doing this step Now before I tell you the process of cutting and polishing, I'm going to explain the draw back cutting and polishing the car, the reasons why many peoplenot how to do it.
1. The potential job losses in your new coat of paint, there are two major reasons why some people take this step, the first reason is that an unfamiliar color sanding the car can go from the coat clear coat of paint and color, and this means a repair paint on the field, where he lived, or a total re-paint the car "not good", the second reason is that if you do not pass through the first layer of paint will notis a possibility that the buffer can burn the paint, when I knew I had done these things with me, and none of them solve fun.
2. It takes more time in the car to do the cutting and polishing, can have up to 20 hours if the man, who always in a hurry, then it is obvious why you absolutely can not hate this hurry, or the pearl of the things I just mentioned, no doubt withIt could happen.
The reason why I like the painting is cut and polished for the look, the car looks very different from a non-polished, polished the car does not look good, do not get me wrong here, is looking for a finish in the factory, with an ultra- light, and is absolutely brilliant in the sunlight, but it seems that the paint job has originated from the color, as if a car will be shiny deep as we could hold hands in the paint and swirl around,the decision is yours, but I must say that if you decide to cut and polish the car 100% sure that people know what they are working.
Take a look at some of their work to determine if he did do this, there are many shops, this leading to a science, and you should not worry at all, if you find the right people, that said, this is not a step that I think a beginner should try, even if I am going to explain the process if you feelconfident, then go ahead and give it a try.
The sanding process color:
After the car was masked again, you should get with buckets of water and a detergent, or if you feel at home using a spray bottle, filled with water and detergent, and even then your going to want to have some 1000 grit wet sand paper to begin with, and we will work until 2000 when wheat this process is complete before you spray the car with water, andNo matter where you start your car in the color of the sand, it's just, where do I start to feel good, this is a long process, so you do not get in a hurry if you do it will cost the new design, now OK for them to have good selection of blocks, a grind, cutting and polishing is developing a car to a smooth appearance over the entire surface and, if done correctly, a very good job.
Now you have the car sprayedwater load your 1000 grit sandpaper on a sanding block, I usually use a 6 "hard, flat block on the plate major surfaces of the car, you never want to sand or polish the crown of each panel on your car, I use a 6 "locking hard rubber around the curved areas on the plates, the first it will seem as if we do something, but my word is the transparent smoothing on your car, if a sand colored clear lacquer you need to pay close attention to whatThey do the cutting and polishing is to remove any dust or paint runs out and flatten the surface of the work of a brilliant deep shine.
If the sand to start the machine if your using a spray, spray some of the contents of the bottle to the painted surface, and then you start to sand the clear coat corn with wet paper to make 1000 Are you sure that only sand in one direction as it will be easier to polish the end, do not press forcefully on the block, let the sand paperWork to do, and if you listen to the shrill sound of your car should stop now and do some 'of water above the sanding block and the surface of the' whistle means that dirt has a piece of sod clear coat on the block, or, However you do not want there, so clean the block and the surface of the car.
If you paint your sand with 1000 grit, search the whole surface of the car and have a smooth finish, remember that youor sand, the clear coat with 1500 and 2000 sand paper so that it need not be perfect at this stage of the game, so be sure to ground the entire surface of the car move to the next stage before.
You are now the same process with 1500 grit wet sandpaper 2000 and then wet again, after doing this, you can do color correction and blending of the clear coat during this process is not yo ever see the color of your base layer onPolishing, which means you go through the clearcoat, so be careful what you do.
The polishing process:
Now that the machine or the color cut grinding process is completely yours, everyone wants to wet sanding residue, grinding, washing a car left wet type of powder residue on the car and want to set the buffer until the arrears, shall not Make sure to wash again the entire firstbegan with the buffer.
For now let's go from the buffer and set the speed of 800 rpm or medium speed on cruise control, which seems a bit 'slow, but you have less chance of burning the paint will set it at a lower speed and can use the 'water to cool the color as you process the car buff, if you never need it, you start with a mixture of heavy and polishing the work until the end of a whirlwind of removal, one more.
Take up your courage andPatience and ready to dive headlong, not change your mind to buy.
Now, put a little 'dab of heavy cutting compound on the surface of the car where you want to start polishing the paint, and I almost forgot, his trial must be done in a garage, the sun will cause this problem with large, what her to do, put a wool pad on the pad, and then pull the trigger buffer and begin connecting the heavy cutting of the car buff, youNotice to gradually bring the luster of the surface of the painting, if you keep the area of the compound on the surface as well as more heavy and moves in a slow circular motion, until the entire surface is polished with a compound heavy .
You can repeat this process with average connection speeds, and then swirl removal of light-up, and last but not least.
If you change the connections you have the foam pads appropriate for each stage of the process, and make sure youwill clean all the pads, as they have blocked the connection, you can draw a pad cleaning tool from your car dealer.
