In the realm of modern collision repair, the key to success lies in the perfect blend of top-notch products, materials, and systems. Whether it's about restoring your vehicle's former glory or ensuring the fastest possible repair, the right combination is paramount.

When we discuss panel repair, we're talking about more than just fixing dings and dents; It's about restoring your vehicle to its near perfect OEM finish without resorting to complete replacements. But are you conscious of the expertise needed for this process? Let's dive into it.

Panel repair can be divided into two categories:

1. Minor Imperfections: When light scratches are the issue, sanding can often do the trick. A primer filler can be applied and sanded down, followed by applying the paint system using the right paint system.
2. Deeper Imperfections: For deep scratches or dents, it's a different story. Bare metal sanding and sheet metal work (panel beating) come into play. Putty is a must to ensure the damage is completely eradicated, followed by the steps mentioned earlier.

But here's the real secret: the choice of the right abrasive material and grit size is absolutely crucial. And if you want to supercharge your repair speed and quality, consider modern techniques like UV putty an UV priming.
