The epidemic can't get out. I can plate Speedy with a crystal at home.

An epidemic broke out in Australia, so recently everyone was "not strictly" isolated at home, thinking that there was nothing to do, so they made a crystal plating for their car. I bought two vertically retractable LED lights, which can be used in the garage or taken to the room for photography.

The biggest use of adding two lights is to find the scratches on the car and remove them. But my car has been parked in the open air before, and it has not been well maintained, so it is all tiny sun lines, so you don't need to look for sweat? Anyway, car wash, car wash mud (clay? Bar) Let's start polishing directly in the garage, regardless of deslagging.

The first step before electroplating is polishing. Otherwise, the fine lines will be covered by crystal plating, which is very obvious and can't be handled. I do two-stage polishing. First, I use a compound with higher polishing ability to polish the lines on the car paint. Then polish it with polishing agent to make the car paint brighter. The picture above shows the difference after recombination. On the left is the fender that has not been thrown out, and on the right is the hood edge above the thrown fender. You can see the obvious difference. ? But if the compound is not polished, the paint surface will be a little white, not smooth enough, and the reflection is not good.

This picture shows the freshly washed and untreated car paint on the top, and the bottom is what it looks like after both ends are polished. You can carefully compare the above picture near the light reflection point, and you can find that it is smoother after polishing than just compond.

No polishing agent with high polishing power was selected and no polishing disc with high polishing power was used, so some deep scratches were not removed. For example, on the roof side, I was hit by a water pipe at the self-service car wash, and the scratch was deep. If I want to polish off some thick paint, I will give up.

There are also some strange places, such as the scratches on the door handle scratched by nails. Polishing equipment with smaller diameter should be selected here. My DA is 18mm, and I didn't buy a small polishing disc with an electric grinder. If you go straight to the big one, it's easy to break the paint on your hand. Just throw it away and give up.

After polishing, even without crystal plating and waxing, the paint surface is already very good. Polishing is really a physical activity. Polishing is about throwing 1/3 or half a surface at a time. Wipe the polishing agent clean after polishing. It takes me about 4-5 hours to throw the whole car twice. After polishing, I had to help my wife get things from her friends that afternoon, so I went out naked.

However, it is best to leave fewer doors with bare paint. After all, there is no protection at this time, and a little scratch will be obvious. And every time I go out and go home, I have to wash my car briefly before the next operation, at least with quick? Wipe the car with lubricant, paramedic.

Plating crystal after polishing. Only 50*50 areas can be plated at a time. After coating, wait for 2 minutes, until the plating solution is half dry, and then clean it, leaving no residue. I also plated the whole car twice, and the second time I plated it for the first time, I couldn't apply the potion until the next day. It took me another 4-5 hours.

After the second plating solution is coated, reload (liquid wax containing silicon) should be sprayed again to consolidate the effect. This is the effect of the end of electroplating, which is still very different from the earliest time.

The reflection of the left door.

The effect on the right. I have to say that the red car is not particularly crystal-plated. Skoda, this new swan down? Although red is also a metallic paint (or the most expensive paint), its metallic luster is not as good as black and silver. If it is a black car, it will look good after electroplating.

It is convenient to work in your own garage, and a small and shabby garage can also be used as a very good studio. If my garage is going to be built on my ass, I must stop it head on.

The state of the front plug and the space behind it are just enough for operation. So when you want to operate the front bumper, you have to back the car a little.

But as mentioned above, the smallest garage is also a very good studio. The shelf in the corner is full of my car supplies, and the shelf near the door is full of my power tools.

Stand in front of the garage and take one. The license plate is P. Do you want to change the personalized license plate with this number [hee hee]? The red car should have Shazabi's license plate.
