More and more I have family and others who want their cars detailed, but are Weary of the use of a DA in the removal of swirls, and minor defects. So much so that they'd rather I not use it, and just use a cleaner wax, even though most times this doesn't remove everything.
And because of my lack of knowledge, I haven't felt too confident in explaining to them what actually goes on with the paint when compounding and polishing and what affect this has on the clear coat.
I ONLY know the basics in starting with the LEAST Aggressive Approach, and then move up from there if needed.
I really have no idea how much clear coat is being polished away when Compounding or Polishing the paint.
I don't know how to tell if the compounding or polishing is going too far, and how to make a decision, to NOT compound or Polish, in fear that it might polish away the clear coat.
How safe REALLY is compounding and polishing on clear coats? And how can I better understand and explain to others what is really going on when comp./Pol. and how they can feel safe knowing that it won't damage the coat?
Anything would be very helpful!
Thankyou guys and have a great one!
