2. Auto detailing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_detailing

   Detailing is more than a cleaning process to make a vehicle look good; it is a systematic approach to help extend its life with methods and products that reduce damaging environmental elements such as dirt, sun, harsh winters, etc. [3] Appropriate maintenance or restoration of vehicles to keep them looking outside and inside as if they came from an auto dealer's showroom increase their resale ...

3. Automotive paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint

   Modern automobile paint is applied in several layers, with a total thickness of around 100 μm (0.1mm). Paint application requires preparation and primer steps to ensure proper application. A basecoat is applied after the primer paint is applied. Following this, a clearcoat of paint may be applied that forms a glossy and transparent coating.

4. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

   A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature. [1] Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical ...

5. Chemical-mechanical polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical-mechanical_polishing

   Since the oxidizing species such as water or oxygen are unable to diffuse through the mask, the nitride prevents the oxidation. Next, the etching process is used to etch the wafer and leave a small amount of oxide in the active areas. In the end, CMP is used to polish the SiO 2 overburden with an oxide on the active area.

6. Paint thinner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_thinner

   Paint thinners are diluents — solvents used to adjust the viscosity of paint, as well as similar preparations such as varnish and lacquer, by dilution. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Organic solvents labelled "paint thinner" are usually turpentine or white spirits / mineral spirits for the use of diluting oil-based paints only.

7. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

   Silicon-based polishing pads or a diamond solution can be used in the polishing process. Polishing stainless steel can also increase its sanitary benefits. The removal of oxidization (tarnish) from metal objects is accomplished using a metal polish or tarnish remover; this is also called polishing.

8. McIlvaine buffer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIlvaine_buffer

   McIlvaine buffer is a buffer solution composed of citric acid and disodium hydrogen phosphate, also known as citrate-phosphate buffer. It was introduced in 1921 by the United States agronomist Theodore Clinton McIlvaine (1875–1959) from West Virginia University , and it can be prepared in pH 2.2 to 8 by mixing two stock solutions.

9. Brasso - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso

   Brasso has also been used to polish out scratches in plastics: It has been used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and centre), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect.
