Car paint correction in Tintex
Automakers use painting to protect metal parts of the car body. Regardless of the type of coating (powder, alkyd enamel, etc.), a protective film is created on the surface, providing reliable protection from mechanical and chemical impacts. Thus, the car is effectively protected from aggressive factors during operation for a very long time.
During operation, scratches and chips may appear on the paint. As a rule, this happens on the front of the car. The action of sand and other abrasive elements flying out from under the wheels of a car moving in front slowly but surely cause the appearance of corrosion centers. Paint correction in Tintex will restore the paintwork, protecting it from rust. You can find the addresses of the nearest Tintex branches in Portsmouth, near me on the website tintex.co.uk
Procedure for restoring the paintwork
The surfaces of the car to be restored will sequentially go through the following stages:
- treatment with fine abrasive paper;
- use of abrasive polishes;
- polishing with a non-abrasive compound.
Sandpaper is necessary to get rid of chips and cracks in the varnish.
Using abrasive polishes and a special attachment on a polishing machine, you can smooth out the entire surface of the car body. From the outside, it becomes invisible where there was a chip or crack.
At the final stage, professionals use modern compounds to effectively protect the paintwork from mechanical and chemical influences.
Why can't you polish your car yourself?
In fact, the market offers polishes with fine abrasives. They are quite acceptable to use independently. But such a polish can only "refresh" the appearance of the car (for example, as a pre-sale preparation). At the same time, extremely frequent polishing of the body (once a week) is prohibited. After all, in less than a couple of years, all the varnish will be erased from the surface of the body.
Buying a polishing machine to use it 2-3 times a year will be an unprofitable investment.
To remove deep chips and cracks, you have to use a polish with a large abrasive.
Without the appropriate experience, an ordinary person can "overdo it" and polish the body part literally to the metal, erasing not only the varnish, but even the primer layer.
Body repair of such damage will cost a serious amount. After all, an accurate color selection will be required.
By entrusting the car to a professional polisher, you can not worry about the final result - the car will look like it just came off the factory conveyor.
