Surfboard Traction Pad

Surfboard Traction Pad

Original factory painted vehicles are thinly coated because it is economical. This is the possible cause that the leads to the paint being faded after some years of getting exposed to atmospheric and various other elements. The vehicles which are lift out in the open weather will eventually fade with time especially on the roof, hood and truck.

Besides this, the oxidation process also causes the paint to deteriorate and ultraviolet light, pollution and even the bird droppings worsen the process. The faded spots on a vehicle give it an old and worn out look. Whether the vehicle has a modern clear coat finish or a traditional single stage paint, the reasons that cause it to fade or discolor are the same.

Old vehicles fade quickly because they do not have coats that are meant for protection of their base paint. If you have faded car, then you have an option to learn to restore faded car paint and make it look shiny and new again. Follow the simple directions.

Materials Needed

- Car soap

- Sponge

- Rag

- Orbital buffer

- Buffing pad

- Polishing pad

- Liquid rubbing compound

- Car polish

Directions

Step 1:

First of all, the car has to be washed with car wash soap and a sponge. Clean it so that all the grime, mud, dirt any type of buildup is removed. Use water and rinse the car, then give it some time to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 2:

Now, apply the liquid rubbing compound to the buffing on the buffer. Start working form the bonnet slowly moving towards the bonnet's back and then to the top of the car then finally to the car's trunk. Afterwards, begin from the front fender and move down to the side of the car finally concluding at the back bumper. Repeat this process for the other side of the car. Don't push down very hard and don't hard on the buffer because it can burn the car's paint.

Step 3:

Now, wipe off the whole surplus rubbing compound using a soft and clean rag. Change the buffing pad on the buffer to a polishing pad. Apply the car polish directly to the polishing pad. Start polishing the car's surface in the same way in which the rubbing compound was applied. Wipe off the surplus polish with a clean and dry rag.

Tips and Warnings

- The vehicle should be parked in a shady area and buff it away from direct sunlight. Sunlight heats the surface of the paint causing the buffer to burn through the paint.

- Don't use dish soap for washing the vehicle. This soap eats up the protective layers of the paint.

- The best protection against the harmful effects of the sun is the application of a high quality wax after every few months.
