Repairs
These are some of the repairs that can be done by Taylor Made
Valeting
Bumper repairs...
Unfortunately bumper repairs can no longer be carried out.
Before After
Mirror repairs...
If your mirror shell is damaged we can repair
and repaint it, most of the time. **a perfect colour match is not guaranteed, and some finishes cannot be replicated.
This is far cheaper than
replacing the complete
mirror.
Headlamp restoration...
Plastic headlamps
can become scratched and hazy over the
years. Don't buy new
headlamps, we can restore your headlamps by reducing / removing the
scratches and hazing.
This improves the appearence of your vehicle,
and lights up the road ahead better, improving
safety.
Before - After
Machine polishing...
Machine polishing restores clarity and gloss to the paint finish (
see the reflection picture on the left ).
This is done by using different pad and
compound / polish
combinations.
This can remove swirls and light scratches by removing a very fine layer of laquer or paint. On a deep scratch you can
smooth
the edges by polishing, this makes it appear less harsh but it is
much better to use paint to fill in the
scratch.
Another method is to fill in the defects
with a polish, but this can wash out over time.
Finally finish off with a wax or sealant to protect your
paintwork.
*** This process can
take more than a day to complete

v After
Paint
restoration...
Single stage paint does not have lacquer on it, so it can fade and the oils dry out if it is not looked after. This makes the paint dull and flat, to cure this you have to remove the oxidisation and put the oils back into the paint. We can restore your paint to near its original condition given enough time, old paint can be very thin and fragile so care is needed not to take too much off.
After cleaning the paint of dirt you must put the oils back before using any type of abrasive or compound on the paint.
One of the methods is to use Meguiars Mirror Glaze #7 Show Car Glaze.
This first came out in the 1920s and the formula has remained unchanged since then. ( If it aint broke don't fix it ).
We can restore badly oxidised paint using Meguiars #7. After rubbing it in, it's best to leave Meguiars #7 to soak in overnight or as long as possible. Then continue to rub more in, this will restore the gloss before using an appropriate compound or polish to remove any light scratches and get a great finish before applying a wax or sealant.
Most of this process is labour intensive and is done by hand, so it can take more than a day to complete.
