Automotive polyester putty is a powder or paste finish that has specific properties. Puttying a car body is a very important and painstaking process that requires skills, patience, time, as well as the availability of high-quality material and tools for work. After all, if you treat this process irresponsibly, do everything in a hurry, you can get a poorly finished body. This will cause that when priming the body, all irregularities, depressions, as well as transitions from putty to metal will be visible. Moreover, even the smallest flaws and scratches will be clearly visible.
Accordingly, when painting, it will also be impossible to hide them, as a result of which the surface of the car will not have the desired evenness and glossy surface.
Therefore, you need to seriously approach both the choice of automotive putty, and the very process of applying it.
It is worth saying that each type of putty has its own nuances of preparation for work. It is impossible to prepare putty for different types of car coatings according to the same recipe. This is due to the presence (or absence) of some components in the composition of these finishing materials. For example, in putties intended for application to metal surfaces, there are components such as a catalyst and a hardener, due to which they are distinguished by their high degree of adhesion to the surface, as well as the speed of drying.
Automotive poly fillers also contain a metal powder that allows you to properly mask various cracks and scratches, thereby making the surface perfectly smooth and glossy, as well as giving it greater resistance to vibrations. However, these putties cannot be used on painted or plastic surfaces. Before applying them, carefully prepare the surface by removing all paint residues, rust, and degreasing the surface.
Automotive polishing putty (polyester putty) «dobte» was created by professionals for professionals. Here, the composition is clearly taken into account, a reference to certain surfaces and compositions of the car body, as well as strict requirements for drying and further use of materials (priming, painting). It is also necessary to strictly read the level of exposure to polishing materials and phased grinding. However, masters in Kyrgyzstan, Asia and already throughout the CIS are familiar with the high class of dobte polishing putty for cars, and when the master needs to reach the highest level of car body restoration, the choice increasingly falls on dobte polishing putty.
