Self-polishing machines at home

Polishing the machine is necessary to maintainneat, well-groomed appearance and protection of the body from the impact of the environment and microcracks. The small cracks formed on the lacquer coating can provoke corrosion of the metal. Polishing of the body of the machine is divided into two stages: first protective, then restorative.

The technology is quite laborious and expensive. In order to save money, the procedure can be carried out independently. To do this, you must have:

• professional polishing machine;
• two foam wheels (coarse and soft);
• Abrasive paste of three types: coarse, with fine abrasive and abrasive (scraping);
• polishing compound;
• cotton napkins or rags;
• if necessary, white spirit.

Polishing the machine with your own hands will take about 2хhours. To begin with, you must thoroughly wash the car body under running water (from the hose). If all the dirt is not washed off, use white spirit or special abrasive clay. Wipe the surface of the machine dry with a clean and dry cloth. After preparing the car, you can start the polishing process.

A small amount of coarse paste is applieddirectly on the surface of the polished section of the car. On a site of 40 * 40 sm it is required 10-20 grammes of a solution. The polishing of the machine takes place gradually, due to the rapidly drying abrasive. A special polishing wheel with a rough surface is put on a special machine. Not including the machine, smear paste on the site. Turning the machine on the slowest mode, cross-shaped movements polish the surface. First, horizontally, then vertically. This will make the polishing uniform. Repeated these movements several times: with a slow mode of operation of the machine and with a fast. Wipe off the remaining traces of the paste with a clean soft rag.

Having finished the first section, they begin work on the next one according to the same scheme. After 3-4 passages, the foam wheel is washed in warm water.

The circle is dried at the maximum speed of the polishing machine.

It should be noted that when polishing the car, low and medium speed of the machine is used. Having included the maximum speed, it is possible to damage a body.

Using a fine abrasive paste, the procedure is repeated. Having finished with it, we can assume that the protective polishing of the machine is completed.

You can go to the recovery. This procedure is much simpler.

On the typewriter, a rough foam wheel oncircle for soft polishing. On the cotton cloth or napkin is applied protective paste (bezabrazivnaya). She rubs the body of the car in a circular motion. As soon as the paste begins to dry, the machine switches on at an average speed, the surface is polished in a circular motion. After that, a protective polish is applied. The same actions are performed as with an unabridged paste.

The machine is polished. It is recommended to conduct the procedure on a regular basis, every 3-4 months. Such prevention will allow the car body to always be protected and beautiful.
