Surface Preparation (Prior to a Coating Application
“Surface preparation” - http://togwt1980.blogspot.co.uk/2017...polishing.html
Process over Product
A wax, sealant or coating can only reflect what is underneath it, so a clean, level well-prepared surface is the most important consideration (85% of a surfaces reflectivity is its preparation) along with applied product clarity. If you apply a product over a surface that is dirty or one that has surface imperfections a wax or sealant will not disguise it, only highlight them.
Surface preparation is one of the most important steps when polishing to achieve a flawless finish
Before the application of a paint surface coating product it is imperative that the paint surface is ‘clean’
1. This would entail washing the surface to remove road dirt and etc.
2. The removal of surface contaminants (ferrous metal, road tar, etc) using Optimum FerreX Iron Remover
3. Remove any sub-surface contaminants using ValuGard Paint Decontamination System, this process will remove both surface and sub-surface contamination
4. Ensure a ‘clean paint surface by removing oil/wax debris with Optimum Paint Prep
5. Remove any silicon debris from the paint surface using Kent® Acrysol Paint Preparation and Auto Body Solvent
