During a car's life a lot of different paintwork damages can occur. There are environmental damages caused by stone chipping, bird droppings or car wash scratches. But also during the paint refinish process damages such as dust nibs, runs or orange peel can happen. Here we will show how to repair of a dust nib caused by a dirt inclusion into the paint.
Within this repair instruction we will be using our TEROSON® Premium Line Polishing Compound which combines the compounding and polishing step into one thanks to an agglomerate-based grain that breaks down to a finer grit during application.
All repair and maintenance tasks shown should be done by professionals only. Please do not try this at home or if not qualified by professional education. Always follow car manufacturer's instructions.

Clean and pre-treat with TEROSON® VR 10. Abrade the paint inclusion with sanding paper P1500 or P2000. Clean sanded surface with TEROSON® VR 10 using a lint-free cloth.
Apply TEROSON® WX 159 on white, hard pad or directly onto the sanded surface. Compound the sanded surface with a polisher in the direction of the sanding marks. Perform the compounding and polishing at low speed for the first 45 seconds, then increase the speed to use the finest grain for finish preparation. If more compounding is needed, reapply the compounding polish and repeat the above steps until done.
Then increase the speed to use the finest grain for finish preparation. Follow ideal rotation movement. Clean the surface afterwards from paste residues.
Apply TEROSON® WX 178 HP to a black, soft pad or directly onto the polished surface. Finish the polished surface with a polisher. Move slowly and evenly with overlapping motions (up and down then side to side). This should produce a glossy surface without holograms. After successful finishing, cleand the surface of finishing paste with a clean microfiber cloth.
To seal the newly finished paint, a protective coat is necessary. Apply TEROSON® WX 189 Protection Sealant to a soft pad, hand puck, microfiber cloth or directly onto the finished surface. After successful protection application, clean surface with microfibre cloth. The glossy surface is now sealed and protected.
There are different steps within a polishing process. Here you see the surface change from pre-polishing to protection. In our TEROSON® Polishing Compounds range we use the color coded caps to indicate for which step the product is used.
