How To Use The 8 Bottle Car Paint Quick-Cut Compound & Polish Repair Kit
TWO STAGE TOTAL CAR CARE TOUCH UP PAINT MAINTENANCE REPAIR SYSTEM EXCELLENCE
Product Repair Procedure: Perform the following steps below in order. There are two main types of scratches that occur in metallic paint. The first type of scratches are light brushed scratches. These types of scratches are light and whitish looking and only need a solvent cleaning solution, fine cutting compound and clear to camouflage. The other type of scratches that are deep & discolored where the either rusting metal or bare plastic surface is visible so they will require anti rust, primers, colors and clears to achieve quality touch up repairs. These types of scratches do not need the clear application like in the first stage of your repair until all other paint layers are applied first. For stone chips use the same layering application as for scratches.
Stage 1. Your car is painted in layers from the factory so when your paint is scratched there are different levels of damage that occur in a single impact. Stage 1) light scratches where only the clear is damaged and needs the first 3 steps of this metallic repair manual to to either completely remove the scratch or camouflage it so it is barely noticeable.
Stage 2. Where rusting steel is apparent and primers, color & clear layers have been completely removed leaving bare metal & bare plastic exposed the appropriate metal treatment & paint layers need to be applied in the same way the factory formula was sprayed to achieve excellent touch up repairs. So basically fix the light scratches first by applying stage 1 and then using stage 1 & 2 together to repair, remove & camouflage heavier paint chips, scratches & blemishes.
