Paint Coating Level Drop?

I was skeptical on the readings shown on my PTG for a brand new 2010 Mercedes CLC 180, i went to double check on the manufacture period on the passenger side door shut where there's a small metal plate engraved with the details. It's correct, manufacture in 2010. I even change the batteries in my PTG as it was blinking (low power) and it will affect the accuracy of the device. I retook the paint coating level, again the readings shown were very consistant throughout the entire car.

The paint coating level was no more than 90 microns for all the panels. In the past, these rides used to be wearing paint coating easily more than 130 microns. I couldn't believe it as a continental ride's paint coating was so low nowadays. The normal Japanese/ Korean executive sedan seemed to have a higher paint coating level than their continental cousin.

The paint surface was marred with superfine hairline scratches and some RDS on the acidic etched marks left by the birds. It seemed like it was an easy job but it's not really that simple as compared to correction work on a Japanese or Korean ride.

6 hours were used to correct the minor imperfections on this Benz and finally, the ride was given wax and it really looked quite awesome despite it wasn't a dark colour one. I don't enjoyed correcting a Mercedes paintwork but if given a choice to choose between a Honda and a Mercedes, i'll take the Mercedes over the Honda.... lolz. :)

Toyota Vios VisomaxED

The owner was planning to use his own car for his big day and the grooming appointment was made last month, the grooming service that he opted for was our comprehensive polishing service aka full grooming which will take 4-5 hours per session. Saying congratulation to him was not enough, hence i decided to give him a complimentary Visomax Prometheus make over session for his wedding car.

He came, handed over the car to me and left for other preparation tasks for his wedding day. These were the paint conditions noted on his new car.

Paint readings were took and the paint correction work was quickly commenced as i wanted to return the car to the groom early so he can have more time to run his unfinished errands.

After checking the paint coating level, we assessed it to be as normal paint coating condition, good to go. The paintwork wasn't in a very bad condition, hence i gave an average of 3 hits per panel using Visomax Prometheus products and seal the car with PS450 Titanium polymer sealant. The results were good and i love it when i saw a delighted owner as he saw the car during collection.

Thank you for viewing and all the best to the newly weds for tomorrow's big day. Cheers!!!
