Polishing is a necessary cosmetic procedure. Someone makes it in order to please themselves, someone includes it in pre-sale preparation, but to summarize, almost all motorists face it. What are the steps involved in polishing the body, and what is required for this?
The set of tools is not at all complicated, you will need: a sander (a device resembling a grinder), polishing discs and, of course, polishing pastes. Before starting the polishing process, the car must be thoroughly washed, preferably at a car wash, using professional chemicals. After drying the body, you can start polishing. We put the polishing wheel on the polishing machine and apply the polishing paste. In this case, it is not important to apply the paste to the body or to the disc. It should be polished smoothly, without unnecessary pressure on the surface, but at the same time it should not be allowed that the machine "walk", in order to avoid this, you need to hold it securely with both hands. Care should be taken at the corners and edges of the polished surface, careless movement can damage the paint or varnish. Polishing should be done at about 1500 rpm on the typewriter, if you set it more, there is a risk of damage to the paintwork again. No need to try to get to inaccessible areas with a machine, you can only make it worse. Those areas that cannot be reached with a circle are best hand polished.
You should not save on polishes and consumables, carefully study the properties of the product that you plan to use for working with the body. Do not forget that polishing wheels also have differences in density and hardness. For a successful operation, you need to choose the right combination of a circle and polish, it is best to ask for help from an experienced master, or get advice from a seller, you can also get advice from them about what polish is required in your case.
The final touch in polishing the car body will be the application of a layer of protective polish, which will smooth out all flaws and help keep the body in perfect condition for a long time. Of course, polishing has its own nuances, but if you are careful and take your time, there will be no problems with refining the car body.
