I caught this on another discussion forum.



Someone was looking for a professional detailing job, this guy recommended a "professional job" as he describes below:



What is done is they don't use abrasives to remove the clear, like they do while wet sanding. They use a buffing pad and physically Heat up the paint so that the paint becomes almost a liquid state. Then they move it around, hence why I said they are professional. They will rid you of your stone chips, scratches even key'd jobs. The cost is high because it's done right and takes a full day or depending on the car/detail/amount of defects on the car. Now since they heat up the paint to liquid form the clear is smooth and scratch free taking all swirls out of the paint.

Too much glue sniffing?
 
Too much glue sniffing.



Polishing is all about removing paint. The trick is removing just enough.

I've yet to see any polishing remove stone chips. Not to mention, won't the base coat and top coat get mixed up in their liquid states? Haha ... thanks for that bit of comedy.
 
I wish I lived in that guys world, then Beyonce would be my babe, Bill Gates would give me his Paycheck everyweek, and Emril would be cooking my 3 squares. Feaking lala land.
 
This guy was right......:sign

LOL, moves the paint around? You gotta be one crappy detailer to buff all the way through the clear before you hit paint!

/me smacks himself on the head.



Torch. that explains it!!! localize the heat.



i've been using 10 gallons of petrol.....



and a match.
 
LOL i bring my paint to a liquid state all the time... Who needs these swirl removing products LOL
 
It reminds me of Ming methodology...



Although the self leveling new Nissan paint works in a similar way. With the heat of the sun it will level itself to a perfect, scratch free state. The coating works approx. three years long, then it "turns into" a normal paint.

Lol, I hope this was a joke and if so you need to work on your punch line a bit, it almost sounds like you're serious.
 
hahahaha thats funny, as most of you know, a pc wont produce enough heat using levelers anyhow, im pretty sure thats why you need high speed for products like hi temps 357

Bence is right. There was a process called the Ming process, I read about here, that said they "liquified" the paint and releveled it. As I recall, the place was somewhere in NC.



Also, Nissan supposedly has "self-healing" paint in the product development pipeline. Supposed to automatically fix minor scratches and swirls. Don't know if it works, but they have announced it.

Slickery,



This is no joke. The system is ready and is being applied in the JDM onto the facelifted X-Trail model.



Read the Press Release:



NISSAN DEVELOPS WORLD'S FIRST CLEAR PAINT

THAT REPAIRS SCRATCHES ON CAR SURFACES



TOKYO (Dec. 2, 2005)-- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has developed the world’s first clear paint that repairs scratches on painted car surfaces, including scratches from car-washing machines, off-road driving and fingernails.



“Scratch Guard Coat� contains a newly developed high elastic resin that helps prevent scratches from affecting the inner layers of a car’s painted surface. With “Scratch Guard Coat� a car’s scratched surface will return to its original state anywhere from one day to a week, depending on temperature and the depth of the scratch.



The water-repellant paint also has a higher resistance to scratches compared with conventional clear paints. A vehicle painted with “Scratch Guard Coat� will have only one-fifth the abrasions caused by a car-washing machine compared with a car covered with conventional clear paint. Scratches from car-washing machines account for the majority of scratches to painted car surfaces.



“Scratch Guard Coat� is effective for about three years.



“Scratch Guard Coat� will be applied for the first time on an SUV model that is scheduled for a partial makeover in the near future. The paint will be applied to the car’s chassis, bumpers, door mirrors, among other parts.

The tunnel wash owners were going absolutely nuts over that in Professional Car Washing & Detailing. I guess they can't handle the truth.
