• Filtered-Water Foaming Wash During a washing stage, the vehicle is pre-soaked to loosen any grime from the surface. The water, free of calcium and magnesium deposits, prepares the paintwork to be washed. |

• Paint-Thickness Guage (PTG) A PTG uses ultrasound technology to measure the total thickness of the amount of paint on a metal body panel including primer, color coat, and clear coat (if applicable). The measurements, whether taken in microns or millimeters, help to identify the panels that have been either re-sprayed and/or have dangerously low levels of paint. It's at this time, that Abram can detect whether or not the paint is healthy enough for polishing. |

• Leather Rejuvenation Interiors fitted with Leather are beautiful. The seats can be supple, soft, and even smell great! Unfortunately, UV rays, oils from your skin, and spilled drinks ruin the qualities that encouraged you to purchase leather in the first place. For restoration purposes, the leather surfaces are cleaned and then treated with an appropriate conditioner. On any given detail, Abe has six different cleaners and conditioners to meet the highest demands. |

• Claying A piece of clay is a pliable bar of suspended abrasives used to remove bonded contaminants. These contaminants can include industrial fallout, tree sap, rail rust, hard water deposits, tar and more. |

• Compounding Stage This procedure is used in extreme paint-correction circumstances. In order to completely remove every last swirl mark, an aggressive pad combined with an aggressive polish is used. With this setup, the clear coat is quickly re-leveled, to the base of the deepest scratches. |

 |
• Polishing Stage The polishing stage is used in two ways. It can be used as a single-stage polishing procedure, as found in the Minor Correction detail, and it can also be used as a follow-up to a compounding stage. It's imperative that the paintwork be polished after a compounding stage, in order to remove any marring that was naturally left behind. A mildly aggressive pad combined with a mild polish is ideal. |
||||
 |
• Refining Stage The purpose of the refining stage is to refine, finesse, and perfect the paintwork. This process creates a "tighter" finish, one that reflects light perfectly from all angles, and achieves a maximum level gloss.A very light polish with an extremely soft pad is worked at various speeds to achieve the perfect result. |
