Wet and Colour Sanding
Sanding is the process undertaken to achieve a flawless, mirror-like finish by ridding paint of graver defects like deep scratches, paint runs and drips, excessive orange peel finishing, heavy reflection distortion, and generally other kinds of paint imperfection extensive polishing cannot address. Our methods involve the use of orbital or dual-action electric and pneumatic machines, as well as sanding by hand when necessary and applicable.
Sanding is a high-reward technique used for paint correction, which necessarily involves high risk--a mistake caused by oversanding can be very costly. As it requires proper training, education, practice and experience, we strongly suggest leaving such a delicate exercise to professionals like us.
