In addition to deep cleaning of the car, which means that industrial dust must be completely removed, polishing work is also required, mainly to restore the luster of the car. This polishing process takes a long time. For a long time, the car will be treated until the paint surface is completely smooth, and finally it is finished with top-grade brown wax. Therefore, small car beauty treatments are like exfoliating the skin for your car.

The process of removing wrinkles attaches great importance to the skill of the master. Almost 90% of the results come from the master’s craftsmanship. The store must also have wrinkle-taking equipment, whether it is a hand-held scratch mark lamp or a wall-mounted streak-taking lamp. Professional tools can be used to capture fine lines and sunbursts on the paint surface, ensuring that the master can completely remove the lines on your paint surface.

Introduction to car beauty content (5): car coating
Car coating has always been a service that people in the market both look forward to but are afraid of getting hurt. The main reason is that people are not as familiar with it as waxing, and it is expensive. It is also because there are many unscrupulous companies, malicious price competition, and some car manufacturers The coating master’s skills are not good enough, and the quality of the finished products is uneven. Customers who pay high prices for services will naturally no longer want to believe in such results when they see such results. In fact, coating is really useful for cars. Its principle is to add a thicker layer of organic matter to the paint surface of the car. It can protect your paint surface. Compared with cars without coating, it is not only hydrophobic It has good water resistance, can drain water more easily in rainy days, and can easily cover the paint surface. It can produce very effective protection against all dirt and basic scratches.

These must not have done the preparatory work of beauty, have not washed the car, or It is because the polishing and grain removal are not complete, and the short-wave infrared baking lamp is not even used. Don’t let the small gain be lost. In the end, the coating must be thrown away and redone, which is not worth the loss. The application time generally takes more than 8 to 12 hours. Every step is carefully carried out to perfection, from cleaning to polishing, grain removal to final coating. It completely puts your car into a new coat and coating. The maintenance time is long. If the car is parked in the basement, it can usually be used for one year. If it is parked on the street, it can be used for 6 months.

What is the difference between car washing, waxing and coating in a car beauty shop?
Car washing, waxing and coating in car beauty shops actually form a protective layer on the car paint, which is like putting on a new coat for the car to prevent the paint surface from being eroded by dirt and causing irreversible damage. However, for protection The gap between the degree and duration is still quite large.
Waxing usually lasts no more than two weeks, but coating can last several months to a year. The reason is that the material used in the coating can produce a protective layer on the surface of the car paint that will never oxidize, keeping the car paint intact from the outside world. Isolation, so it can be maintained for a long time and has a better protective effect. However, coating also has shortcomings. First of all, it must be returned to the factory frequently for maintenance. Many people do not have so much free time. Secondly, the difficulty of applying coating is quite high. It is easy for ordinary masters to fail without professional training, let alone ordinary people. Do it yourself. Coating is not only difficult to apply and relatively expensive, but its protection and durability are far superior to waxing. You can evaluate your personal needs by yourself, come to the factory to discuss with a professional master, and get the best solution for your car. plan.

Many people don’t want to go to a car beauty shop. The biggest reason is that they don’t know which shop is good. Will this car beauty shop be dishonest? Will they be cheated of their money after going there? We have introduced a lot of little knowledge about car beauty above. I believe you should already have a basic understanding.

You are also welcome to come to the store to inquire about the maintenance plan for your car and give us a chance to experience it in practice. Our professional service.
Observe the store’s environment and professional equipment
Although the professional ability of a car detailer is the most important, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify whether they are professional or not. Therefore, we can judge by observing the environment and the professional tools used in the store. A professional tool can easily cost hundreds of thousands. If If a car beauty shop is willing to spend money to invest in it, then we can also guess that the skills of the shop’s masters have reached that level and need more professional tools to assist, such as short-wave infrared baking lamps, which are specially designed to make the coated crystals crystallize stronger, or There are different photograin equipment to help the master remove the grain, and the polishing and cleaning machines also come in various sizes and can be applied to different car bodies. These are the criteria for judgment.
Observe the store’s construction process
Many stores will post posters showing the 50-step car beauty shop-specific repair process. The purpose is to reassure consumers, but many times they don’t actually do this. You can ask the master and take a look at other cars being repaired. Which construction method they are currently in, have they been completed step by step, so that we can hand over the car to them with confidence, and ensure that when we are not present, the store will still follow the standard steps to perform the work.

When discussing with the master a plan suitable for your car, you should also carefully inquire about the content of the relevant plan. . The details of the after-sales warranty, such as how long it takes to return to the factory for maintenance, and how much additional payment must be made before you can enjoy additional beauty. These must be inquired clearly first. It is best to ask about what the car will look like after it is completed, such as The car paint will be cleaned of industrial dust (there will be no black specks), so there will be no misunderstandings during the completion inspection!
How to judge the professionalism of a car detailer?
Do you pay attention to the small details of the car body?
Whether to use different sized utensils for processing
Can you clearly explain the principles and perform the work?
In these ways, you can tell whether a car beauty shop can take good care of your car and ensure that your car is truly car-beautified. This is also the answer that ordinary car owners can get through observation. If a master can complete the above three points, then you can almost trust him to handle your car. Only professional masters can create excellent quality.
The small details of the car body are often the most easily overlooked
If today’s master is not careless about small details, then we can easily conclude that this master must also be as careful about cleaning and beautifying other parts of the entire car. By observing other vehicles in the shop that are being cared for, or those that have been completed, see if the wheel frames, the periphery of the wheel frames, and under the doors are carefully cleaned. These places are easily overlooked. If they are all cleaned, then This master is really good!
Car bodies should use many different sized tools
There are many different parts of a car, each with a different size. If you use tools of the same caliber to work on it, the area may be too small to be completely processed. Therefore, when it comes to smaller body parts, such as door handles, For wheel frames, tools of different calibers should be used, so that every inch of body skin can be cared for more carefully.
In the face of doubts from car owners, the masters of car beauty shops can explain the principles in detail.
Car owners are not professional masters and often get incorrect information from hearsay and from friends or business. During the communication process between the car owner and the master, if the master can explain certain principles in detail and patiently guide the car owner to the correct knowledge, not only the car owner can better understand the beauty procedures that will be performed on his car, but he can also better understand the master’s knowledge of the car. The level of understanding of each process. Many masters will just tell you that this is incorrect and that is incorrect. If there is a master who can fully tell you the reasons, then he is definitely a professional master!
