| Clear Coat Restoration |
| |
| Can you perform clear coat
restoration without the purchase of a package? |
- Yes, although there is an additional
charge of $45.00. This is to cover the foam gun wash
with a brand new genuine sheepskin wash mitt along with
performing the clay bar service to your vehicle.
|
| What is clear coat
restoration? |
- Clear coat restoration is the
process of restoring your clear coat to factory and
sometimes better than
factory conditions. If you have ever looked at how your
vehicle's exterior panels look in direct sunlight, you
have probably seen an array of circular shaped lines
also known as swirl marks or cob webbing. Clear coat
restoration can often repair these and other surface
imperfections.
|
| What other imperfections can clear coat restoration repair? |
- Water spots - Hard water that has
left mineral deposits in your clear coat.
- Acid etching - Bird droppings or bug
remains that have sat on your clear coat too long to be
washed away.
- Buffer trails/Holograms - Commonly
caused by an inexperienced detailer.
- Scratches - This depends greatly on
how deep they are. If you can run your finger nail
across it without catching the scratch, it should be
repairable.
- Oxidation - A light haze that
develops on your vehicle over time giving it a faded
appearance.
- Overspray - Often removed with the
clay bar process but can still find its way into clear
coat restoration.
|
| Can
all of those surface imperfections always be repaired? |
- It is possible that certain imperfections cannot be
repaired without involving lengthier repair methods or
consulting a body shop. For instance, if bird droppings
were to sit on your clear coat for too long and they
have left acid etching, it may not be possible to fully
repair them depending on how deep it has etched. In most
cases though, everything can be fully repaired.
|
| Why is this an important
step? |
- Even if you are not concerned with how your vehicle
looks in direct sunlight, preparation before putting on
any wax or sealant plays a very important role in how
the exterior surfaces will look after the detail is
complete. Observe the image below:

Without a smooth surface for the light
to refract evenly across it, the reflection given off from your detailed
vehicle will not be as clear or bright as it could be. This
is how it would reflect:
The red lines demonstrate how differently the
light/reflection would bounce off of your vehicle's body
panel. The difference between a restored panel and an
un-restored panel is dramatic in person. |
| |
| The local car wash offers
this service for much less money, why should I choose you
over them? |
- Very few car wash detailers have the kind of
experience that Jason's Auto Spa has in repairing these
imperfections. It is also almost certain that they do
not have the proper tools or experience to do this
confidently without any "Guesswork." Jason's Auto Spa
utilizes a digital paint thickness gauge to analyze
thickness in ferrous
and non-ferrous metals, another paint thickness gauge that
utilizes ultrasound technology to determine layer
thickness of up to three individual layers on plastic
surfaces or entire composite vehicles, an array of high quality polishing pads,
different polishing machines for different jobs,
polishes and compounds for specific needs, innovative
lighting designed to reproduce intense sunlight for
surface analysis, and back to the most important part:
Experience. Clear coat restoration is always done by one
person - the founder of Jason's Auto Spa, collision
repair and paint technology graduate, ten year
professional detailer, Jason Gauer. We have also
invested heavily in technologically advanced equipment
to ensure accuracy and safety when it comes to restoring
your clear coat.
|
| Why is a paint thickness gauge
important? |
- It is important to determine the
total thickness to track
how much clear coat you have removed after the restoration services because there are guidelines
to keep within. It is also important to know if certain
areas are too shallow or too thick, as they will both
react differently than the other body panels and we
would adjust our restoration methods accordingly. These are very costly tools to
purchase, well into the thousands, which is why most detailers
overlook them and take risks with your vehicle
instead. We believe that is unacceptable.
