On The Beat With An Auto Detailer

By Kirk Henderson


The world of auto detailing is in constant flux and shift thanks to the large number of new technologies. An excellent auto detailing professional needs to have knowledge of all these new developments.

It is hard to find a side of auto detailing more affected by cutting-edge innovation than surface prep and exfoliation. Nanoskin is a product at the forefront of nanoscience that is drawing interest amid auto detailers and provides another option as an exfoliation approach.

Exfoliation is not merely that thing a person does to their body. Like a living body, the outer surface of a car has microscopic pores than can get plugged.

Just like our body's skin, impurities and particles accumulate inside of the pores of the car. After some time this will likely result in fouling and rotting of the car body.

This in turn allows other harmful factors such as ultra violet light to break down the surface's protection even more. If the pores are left like this the vehicle's skin will experience a much briefer lifespan.

The best way to inhibit the process is always to cleanse the pores and cancel out the oxidation. Auto detailing professionals use it as the regular solution to prepare a vehicle's paint for further coatings.

The most common method employed by car detailing pros recently has been a process named Clay Bar. This method involves applying a detailing spray or lubricant along the vehicle surface, then rubbing a bar of clay over the car.

The newer means for exfoliation is faster and much less tedious. It is called Nanoskin and while there are definite critics, it's being widely used in auto detailing.

A Nanoskin pad should be attached to buffer and the surface buffed at low speed. The pad possesses a polymer rubber surface that is able to scrub the paint surface on the size of the pores and debris.

Expert detailers acknowledge that it will be considerably quicker to utilize Nanoskin. In addition, Clay Bar can scratch the paint if it is dropped and gets contaminated and the Nanoskin does not. Nonetheless, when it comes to tough spots of tar or cramped areas Clay Bar is considered better.

A number of auto detailers discuss if Nanoskin will supersede Clay Bar as the new standard. Some detailers don't believe that this particular question will likely be resolved soon.

While Clay Bar still has a place in auto detailing, nanotechnologies like this polymer rubber pad are truly the cutting edge of auto detailing development. A detailer that is able to work a car or truck on the molecular level should have awesome potential.
