Hand-Polished Paint & Wax Process
At our Detail Doctors, we offer the exclusive Hand-Polished Paint & Wax, a comprehensive exterior paint polish and seal service that will rejuvenate your vehicle's appearance and provide it with long-lasting protection. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Full-Exterior Warm Water Rinse We begin with a full-exterior warm water rinse, effectively breaking down dirt and grime on the paint's clear coat, windows, rims, and tires.
Step 2: Hand Wash and Deep Cleaning Our skilled technicians perform a meticulous hand wash, using soft and clean hand mats, to deep clean the entire vehicle, ensuring a pristine surface for the paint correction process.
Step 3: Rim and Tire Cleaning With the use of premium products and specialized tools, we pay special attention to the rims and tires, ensuring the removal of all dirt, brake dust, and brake grease. We also scrub the wheel wells to eliminate any stuck mud or dirt.
Step 4: Thorough Rinsing After the rim and tire cleaning, we rinse the rims, tires, and wheel wells thoroughly, followed by another warm water rinse for the entire vehicle.
Step 5: Drying To achieve a flawless finish, we employ a two-step drying process. First, we use air blowing to remove excess water, and then we meticulously wipe down the entire vehicle with clean microfiber cloths.
Step 6: Iron Remover Application We apply Iron Remover on the exterior of the vehicle to help eliminate fallout contamination and rail dust on the clear coat.
Step 7: Rinse Thoroughly The vehicle is rinsed thoroughly to remove any remaining debris and remnants of Iron Remover.
Step 8: Clay Bar Process We carefully clay the entire paint's clear coat surface using a high-grade Clay Bar and our Detail Doctors spray wax for lubrication. This step effectively removes any additional contaminants such as brake dust, industrial fallout, bugs residue, tar, and more.
Step 9: Paint Correction Light Inspection Using a paint correction light, we meticulously inspect the vehicle's exterior to identify any flaws that might be overlooked by the naked eye.
Step 10: One-Step Paint Polish Process We use our Oberk Cut-Polish Compound, paired with an Oberk Polish Pad, to eliminate light swirls, oxidation, and imperfections from the clear coat and also addressing minor imperfections and fine scratches, leaving the paint looking flawless.
Step 11: Clear Coat Sealing Only after the entire vehicle's paint has undergone the paint polish process, we proceed to seal the clear coat/paint with our high-quality Carnauba wax, providing optimal protection.
Step 12: Window Cleaning and Interior Touch-Up We thoroughly clean the windows to ensure a streak-free finish. Additionally, we lightly vacuum the carpets and perform a front interior hand wipe of surfaces for a clean and tidy interior.
Step 13: Tire Dressing Finally, we apply a premium tire dressing to the façade of the rubber tires, giving them a polished and rejuvenated appearance.
