Car Detailing Tutorial - How to perform car inspection
The first move for a flawless result. A best-in-class detailing process always begins with a thorough inspection to identify problems and plan ad hoc interventions. Every detailing treatment involves a rigorous methodology, which does not allow for mistakes or missteps.
Before working on any vehicle, therefore, it is a good idea to know what you are doing! Always, the first step is a thorough inspection of the car, with the help of the trusty professional COB light inspection lamp, which can highlight even the most microscopic scratches (rids and swirls).
An important caution:
The inspection must not exclude even the most hidden square inch of the bodywork and, of course, must also include a thorough analysis of the interior parts!
As shown in Labocosmetica 's video tutorial , in the specific case of the 1959 Lancia Flaminia Touring Convertible, in addition to a series of micro-scratches probably caused by incorrect washing and neglected maintenance, acid stains derived from midge residues, limestone and oxidation of various kinds are clearly distinguishable on the front end.
On the rims, however, ferrous contamination due to rubbing between the pads and the brake discs is visible.
These are all details that can be worked on with a specific detailing treatment.
In the thick of it:
Regarding the interior surfaces of the Lancia Flaminia Touring Convertible, our detailer Fabio D'Avenia found a slight color difference between the front and rear seats, probably due to the fact that a leather restoration treatment has already been performed on the former.
All the more reason to pay close attention during the processing!
Labocosmetica's expert advice:
On the surface, these may seem like minor problems, but it is necessary to take care of every detail to achieve a high-quality result, right from the start. In short, no part can be overlooked in a detailing without "wonkiness"!
The essentials: a professional COB light inspection lamp specifically for detailing and a good dose of thoroughness!
