What kind of lacquer damage is suitable for self-treatment
For repairing damaged car paint, the limitations are still relatively large. First, only minor damage of paint surface can be repaired, and the damage that needs sheet metal can not be handled by itself. Secondly, if the primer has blossomed heartily, there is nothing to do about it. The above two cases or steadfastly go to the automobile repair shop to deal with.
If the scratches are shallow, they can be treated or covered by waxing and polishing. It is obviously not worthwhile to do the whole painting for these small scratches and minor damage, but also a pity for the larger area of the original paint.
What tools and materials are needed
The most important material is wax. Wax used to remove slight scratches, commonly known as "sand wax", belongs to wax with greater polishing power. The price is not much different from other maintenance waxes. It costs tens of dollars a bottle.
There is also the need for a waxing equipment, the simplest is the sponge block, usually when buying wax vendors will attach. If conditions permit and friends like to maintain their own vehicles, it is also possible to buy a small portable polishing machine online.
Before waxing, the car must be cleaned to ensure that there is no dust and sundries on the car. If the sand is grinded on the paint, the paint will be destroyed. It is worth noting that we should not do this in sandy weather. The same is true.
After the vehicle is cleaned, find a safe place to work, an underground parking lot or a relatively closed place. If conditions are limited, try to find an open area to avoid gum and bird droppings falling on the paint, and do not wax in areas where the sun is too strong.
Hand waxing
The main purpose of sanding is to remove the slight scratches, not to protect and brighten the paint surface. So the first goal is to make the slight scratches as dilute as possible after finishing. To achieve this goal, manual operation can meet the basic needs.
But the technique and strength still need attention, after all, this relatively strong polishing wax is different from the usual protective wax (commonly known as wax), can not repeatedly polish the same paint surface, in addition, the polishing force can not be too large, otherwise it will hurt the car paint.
The strength of hand waxing is not uniform as that of machine polishing. It is easy to "injure innocent people" in the process of dealing with scars. Sand wax, which is polished on the intact paint surface, can easily make the paint lose its original luster. The author's suggestion is that the manual waxing method is more suitable for temporary cover-up and future re-spraying; in addition, for older vehicles, the whole body paint is relatively old, and the polishing effect is not high, just to cover up scratches, it is also suitable to use this method.
Wax polishing machine
If your car is relatively new, and you can't guarantee that your waxing methods and strength are standard enough, it is suggested that the owner can buy a polishing machine online, which is 100-300 yuan cheaper and 300-500 yuan more expensive, so that it will be more convenient to wax the car paint or scratch it in the place later.
For operations that focus only on concealing scratches, the choice of polishing wheel materials on polishing machine need not be too complicated, sponge wheel or wool wheel can be used. The polishing machine is more uniform, precise and labor-saving than manual waxing. There are two ways of power connection: 12V DC power supply and 220V AC power supply. If it is 12V DC power supply polishing machine, it can be directly connected to the vehicle power supply. It is more convenient to use, and the owner can choose according to the actual situation.
The whole construction process is not complicated. For those who have waxed by themselves, it is nothing more than waxing, polishing and polishing. It should be noted that not too much wax, can cover the damaged paint, usually a scratch with a little finger length of the wax oil is almost the same (as appropriate).
