7.2 Cleaning the Car
Clean Object = Clean measurements
Cleaning the area to be measured is essential. Any
surface dirt, grease, scratches or dust already
in the paint WILLinuencethequalityofthe
measurement. The surface must also be dry!
Do NOT measure sprayed panels without allowing
sufcienttimeforthepaneltodry.
Which polish?
Water and soap is good enough to remove the
surface dirt. There are many different polishing
products and the general guidelines are:
• Useanonsiliconpolish.
• Theproductmustnotbeabrasiveandleave
any visual scratches or haze on the top coat.
• Avoidbadlyscratchedareas,Ifyouhaveno
choicethenstartwithacoarsepolishandnish
withanepolishtoachieveasatisfactorynish.
• UsingaTACKRAGcanalsohelptoremove
dust before measuring. Don’t use a tack rag
that has previously been used for a completely
different color.
Polishing motion
Polishing always leaves very small scratches on
the surface. To randomize these „micro“ scratches
a rotating polishing motion is recommended. These
scratches can have an effect on the measurement
