Paint Thickness Readings

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Digital Paint Thickness Readings will now be included in paint polishing jobs where it is necessary to remove moderate swirls marks or minor abrasions. When removing such defects from the paint, it is very important to understand the amount of coating being removed. Thickness Readings are provided to ensure that the immediate appreciation of a finely polished surface isn’t degrading the future value of your investment.

Unforeseen Circumstances

Monday, January 7th, 2008

This vehicle, a BMW 135i, was struck squarely by a 4′x8′ piece of plywood that flew off the back of a truck while on a two lane highway.  Needless to say, skilled driving must have kept them from serious injury.

The process to remove the damage from the paint was somewhat aggressive as the only other option would have been costly bodywork.  Aside from a very slight crack in the bumper’s paint and an abrasion in the driver’s headlamp, the damage was not distinguishable.

an Aficionauto polish job

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

Did you know. . . an Aficionauto polish job is different than what you may receive somewhere else? When removing blemishes and paint defects, Aficionauto uses techniques and products that do not temporarily hide swirls marks, scratches or the like. The procedures I employ effectively remove these imperfections without the filling properties commonly found elsewhere. What does this mean? If maintained properly, these swirl marks and faint scratches won’t “return” after a few weeks worth of washes that can rinse the concealing agents away. An Aficionauto polish job has no filling agents - just pure, clean, defect-free paint.
