After
the vehicle is thoroughly washed, the painted surface should
be properly cleaned with a Clay Magic® clay bar. This will
prepare the surface for polishing and waxing by removing
harmful contaminants.
The vehicle is now inspected for the compounding, polishing,
and/or waxing phase. To determine the correct system and
products for your vehicle's condition, use the Auto
Magic® Paint Condition Chart.
The Paint Condition Chart consists of 4 paint types: Type A,
B, C, and D. Type A is the best paint condition while D
refers to the worst. |
THE ABRASIVE METER: The Auto
Magic® Abrasive Meter is an exclusive quick reference guide to the
aggressive nature of products in the Waxes, Glazes & Compounds
category. Products listed in the green area are mostly waxes or
sealants and are not aggressive. Products in the yellow area contain
mild abrasives. Compounds are the most abrasive and are located in
the red zone.

DETERMINE THE PAINTED CONDITION
Each vehicle may require a different process for compounding,
polishing, and waxing. This process depends upon the condition of
the paint. Some vehicles may only need a protective layer of wax
while others may require compounding and polishing. Use the Paint
Condition Chart to help determine your paint condition.

CLAY THE SURFACE, "PAINT CLEANING"
Spray #49-Body Shine® clay lubricant onto a 3' X 3' section of the
vehicle's painted surface. Clay the surface with CM-2200 Clay
Magic®. Use as much pressure as needed to lift the contaminants off
the surface. Now dry the area with a soft, clean towel. Repeat this
process to the entire vehicle. Your vehicle is now properly
cleaned. |
|
FOLLOW THE PAINT CONDITION CHART PROCESS
After you choose your paint condition, follow the recommended repair
with the product choices listed on the Paint
Condition Chart. Refer to each product technical bulletin for
additional usage and helpful tips. |
