Car polishing with the K2 system

Car polishing with the K2 system
Regardless of whether you choose multi-stage polishing, 1, 2 or 3, you must follow these instructions:
1. As a rule, this is done by professional polishers, as it is a time-consuming and skilled process, and there is a chance that if you polish yourself, you will damage the car's paint if you accidentally polish down to the paint or primer. The picture below shows what a car's paintwork consists of. When polishing a car, only the top layer, or varnish, is treated.
 
2. Before starting polishing, the surface should be clean. Large defects can be removed with sandpaper. It is recommended to deep clean the car after shampooing to remove heavy dirt, for which use a special car cleaning clay.
3. Shake the package before use.
4. By placing the paste on the polishing disc, distribute the paste evenly at low speed (about 600 rpm), then increase the speed to about 1500 rpm and polish to achieve a high gloss.
The order of polishing pastes used when polishing is in the tables below, i.e. if there is a multi-stage polishing, then start with more abrasive pastes and finish the process with a very fine abrasive paste Q5.
5. After polishing, clean the surface with a microfiber cloth, for example ID 390779 .
Do not let the paste dry on plastic parts.
Do not polish in the sun, but in a shaded place.

Ideal for vehicle varnished surfaces, and for renewing old painted surfaces. For the treatment of industrial coatings, vehicle lights, boats, acrylic, furniture synthetics and many other surfaces.
The paste is used with a hard polishing disc (for example K2 DURAFLEX L611 blue ID 493237, L641 blue ID 493239) or a medium-hard polishing disc (for example K2 DURAFLEX L612 orange ID 491308, L642 ID 334351).
Polishing machine, either electric or pneumatic. An orbital sander is recommended.
After polishing, treat the surface with protective wax or K2 gravon ceramic surface protection agent.

k2 quantum synthetic protective wax
A synthetic protective wax made from high-quality polymers ensures long-lasting protection for vehicle paint surfaces. The wax contains paint brightening additives and leaves a long-lasting shine on treated surfaces. The surfaces remain smooth and water-repellent.
K2 gravon ceramic surface protection agent.

Ceramic surface protection agent that protects the surface from scratches dirt UV radiation salts bird droppings pollutants insect residues corrosion and mechanical damage. Thanks to the ceramic coating, there is no need to wax the car anymore. Moreover, thanks to its excellent self-cleaning properties, it effectively repels dirt, which reduces the need to wash the car so often. Unlike waxes, ceramic surface protection cannot be removed with chemicals.
