Hi, i m running a detailing business in India. Everyday i get cars for detailing. Now the problem is most of the cars will have deep scratches.:shead: U say 9 out of 10 cars. :doh: Now i am planning to use touch up paint technics to get rid of deep scratches, but i know thats going to take long process and time consuming. Is there any other method that i can use?:help::help: Thanks
wet sanding might be an option, but you have to know how much paint you can play with BEFORE you start...PTG is a must...
+1 on the PTG Deep Scratches A surface scratch that will `catch' your fingernail is approximately 0.04 Mil (1.0 µ) deep will usually require wet sanding and the clear coat refinishing Removing a scratch requires removing the layer of paint that contains the defect; you need to level the paint to the lowest point of the scratch. Removing more that 0.5 mil (12µ) of clear coat will cause premature paint film failure as UV protection percolates to the top of the clear coat. Check paint film thickness with a Paint Thickness Meter (PTG) before you attempt to remove As you go over a deep scratch, the abrasives round off the edges of the high spots of the scratch. The result is a shallower scratch (when no full correction can be made) rounded edges don’t reflect light the same way a sharp edge will and is therefore less noticeable.
