May 30th - May 30thAbrasive Solutions for Single Step Automotive Polishing Automotive polishing is a multi-step process that typically requires the application of several distinct compounds in a sequence. The initial polishing phase requires a higher-cut rate to remove scratches and swirls that have been etched into the car’s clearcoat through sanding. Particles in a high removal rate abrasive (HRRA) solution are |
May 8th - May 8thMechanical Polishing: Outlining Substrate Lapping Lapping is a method of mechanical polishing that uses a soft-lap vehicle loaded with high-performance abrasive grains. It is often utilized after harsher grinding techniques and is used as a pre-polish to smooth subsurface damage in substrates while mitigating the risk of forming new surface defects. All forms of mechanical polishing that use |
May 8th - May 8thOutlining Alumina Polishing Compounds Polishing compounds are indispensable products for automotive engineering and vehicle maintenance. They are essentially used to mitigate the optical effects of small aberrations in body panels by leveling the uppermost surface of the paintwork. |
April 24th - April 24thWhy Use IDEAL Abrasive Technology for Automotive Polishing?

Innovative materials engineering represents one of the key ways we aim to improve daily life. Our primary high-performance materials include plastics, abrasives, ceramics, and specialty grains and |
April 24th - April 24thThe Steps of Automotive Polishing Automotive polishing is essential for perfecting and maintaining a vehicle’s paintwork, but it is not carried out in isolation. Severe flaws may require sanding prior to the application of an abrasive polishing compound to re-finish fresh paintwork that has run or been cured incorrectly. Organic matter must also be washed off and surfaces |
April 23rd - April 23rdAutomotive Polishing: Combatting Wear and Tear of the Daily Driver Car owners largely accept the idea that vehicles depreciate over time. Age, mechanical degradation, and general wear and tear will impact the value of your daily driver to different degrees. Time will cause components to gradually fail. The way you drive may alter the efficiency of oil flows throughout the mechanic systems of the powertrain. |
April 23rd - April 23rdCMP Polishing of Electronic Wafers Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is an innovative technique used to level and polish substrates and layered devices for outstanding degrees of planarity. CMP polishing has emerged as a crucial method of preparing and finishing electronic wafers: smoothing the substrate topography by gently removing surface materials. This is achieved |
February 8th - February 8th3 Paint Defects that Affect Surface Finish Paint defects can originate from countless sources. They can be symptomatic of poor refinishing processes, or environmental factors may reduce the quality of the surface finish. Correcting some of these issues will require sanding and repainting, but an abrasive polish is often sufficient to remedy the most common paint defects impacting a |

December 20th - December 20thAutomotive Polishing: What is a High Cut Rate? Automotive polishing prioritizes speed and quality, whether correcting fresh aftermarket paintwork or dust nibs on a brand-new vehicle from the OEM assembly line. These two properties are seemingly at odds in the realm of abrasive polishing compounds. Faster removal rates are typically associated with a poor surface finish due to the |
