Key To A Durable Long Lasting Finish

The first step in a high quality finish is to wash the vehicle with hot, soapy water to remove water soluble contaminants. Listed below are some of the more common things that a vehicle finish may be exposed to:

• Dirt, Mud
• Tree Sap
• Road Salt
• Bird Droppings

 

In addition to the contaminants listed above other types of materials may also be removed using the method listed above. These would include: 

• Polyglycote
• Some Waxes and Polishes

 Once all water soluble contaminants have been removed the next step in surface preparation is solvent cleaning. This step is designed to remove solvent soluble contaminants:

• Grease/Oil
• Road Tar
• Waxes and Polishes
• Silicone

  Then we prepare the body and parts for paint. Next, the body and parts are primed using a 2 part epoxy primer and finished with a polyurethane top coat. Finally the unit reassembled and detailed for delivery.
