Attention
to Detail: The DyNA Paint Reconditioning System
The DyNA Paint
Reconditioning System was developed in our Research & Development
location in Mineola, New York (a.k.a. our shop) on some of the most
exotic and rare automobiles in the world. Matt Zakarian started the
testing process back in 1994 when he started the company as a mobile
detailer servicing clients from Long Island, New York's gold coast.
He has researched and tested virtually (no-one can honestly say they've
tried everything) every car wax, paint sealant, polish, compound and
detailing product on the consumer and professional market; due to
his dissatisfaction with the results, he began developing the DyNA
Paint Reconditioning System; a step by step lineup with the goals
of being the easiest to use by hand or by orbital machine (we don't
recommend folks buying and using a high-speed rotary buffer) and achieve
consistently outstanding results with the least amount of effort.
Auto detailing products for enthusiasts developed by professional
detailers through a culmination of years of sweat, trial & error,
late night experimentation and research so that we can bring to you
the most effective car detailing products that can be customized to
your paint finish.
The DyNA
Paint Reconditioning System is a three step process consisting
of our step 1: DyNA
Gloss Restorer compound/polish, step 2: DyNA
Gloss Refiner fine polish/pre-cleaner and step 3: DyNA
Brilliance high gloss sealant and car wax. The DyNA Paint
Reconditioning system consists of new technology incorporating proprietary
media (not the usual aluminum oxide or some form of crushed rock)
used in the high tech industry designed to permanently remove (not
just hide) swirl marks, spider webbing, surface scratches and scuffs
off your paint. Designed to restore the optical clarity (remove haziness)
and bring out that "wow" in your paint. The DyNA Brilliance
high-gloss sealant will give your paint that incredible "wet
look" and increased DOI (Distinction Of Image) of a show car
with the durability for daily driving. It can be layered for increased
depth or used under any other wax. It will be the easiest system of
products you'll use and most important being safe for all painted
surfaces.
Here is a summary of
recommended steps to restore or maintain your car's paint:
-
-
Claying-
Use the DyNA
Paintwork Shampoo in your wash bucket as lubricant and the DyNA
Purifying Clay bar the entire car (will take about 10-15 minutes
but worth the effort as it will remove all contaminants/bugs...
before your detailing process) and rewash the clayed panels. You're
done with a panel when it feels smooth to the touch when you glide
Saran wrap or a cigarette wrapper between your fingertips and the
paint. See detailed instructions in our tips section on Purifying
Your Paint or included instructions in our Clay
Kit: http://detailingdynamics.com/tipmay05.html
-
Drying-
Use the DyNA
Superior Drying MicroWeave Towel by laying it flat on the wet
surface and holding two corners with your hands and pulling it over
the area to be dried. Continue over the entire car until finished
and wring out the towel as it gets saturated. Use a regular cotton
towel on your tires and wheels or a separate/dedicated MicroWeave
for the wheels only (don't mix the towels used for the wheels with
the ones for the paint). You can also use compressed air to aid
in drying or a shop vacuum that blows filtered air. DO NOT
use a gasoline blower since the two-stroke engines can leave a gas/oil
residue on your paint.
-
Dress
your tires- with the DyNA
Concours Tire Treatment to allow it to absorb while you are
detailing the car and then add another coat after you finish detailing
the whole car if necessary or if you desire a higher gloss finish.
Spray it on the applicator to apply instead of spraying on the tire
(prevents overspray and waste).
-
Masking-
Tape (use 3M masking tape or equivalent) up all plastic, rubber,
emblems, logos, antenna mass base, etc
and remove anything
that can EASILY be removed (i.e. license plates, Porsche headlights,
emblems, bumperettes, etc
). This step will save you a lot
of time in cleanup and touch up after your compound, polish and
waxing steps. Note: if it cannot be removed easily, tape it. Also,
once you get compound, polish or wax on some plastic and rubber
parts, you may not be able to remove it completely.
-
Step
1- DyNA
Gloss Restorer with the Cyclo or an orbital polisher
using the Yellow
aggressive deoxidizing and buffing pads or the Orange
Foam Compounding & Polishing Pad depending on the aggressiveness
needed for paint correction. You may also do it by hand using our
White
Hand Pad and follow the directions on the bottle. This step
can get dusty since it does not contain solvent based fillers/lubricants;
you can mist a little water on the pads and it also allows you to
work the polish longer. Use light to medium pressure when polishing
with the Cyclo and repeat till desired results doing a 2x2 foot
area at a time.
-
-
Step
2- Use the DyNA
Gloss Refiner with the Green
Medium Polishing pads using light pressure (on horizontal surfaces,
the weight of the Cyclo is enough). On a black (or any other dark
colored car), use the DyNA
Ultimate Cleaner instead of the DyNA Gloss Refiner
with the Cyclo and the Green Medium Polishing pads using light pressure
on the entire car. You may also use the Black
Hand Pads by hand. When finished, use the Liquid Gloss and a
MF or Concours MicroTerry to wipe down the surface (removes any
remaining dust and prevents contaminating step 3)
-
Step
3- Apply the DyNA
Brilliance High Gloss Sealant with the Cyclo and white
pads with no pressure (weight of the Cyclo will do it). *Note!
The Brilliance will cure quite fast which is part of its advantage
in durability so you need to wipe it off as soon as you apply it.
Apply in 3x3 foot sections and wipe off with the DyNA Concours MicroTerry
before moving on the adjacent sections. You may also apply it by
hand using a soft
foam wax applicator but removal strategy is the same as with
the machine.
-
Remove
the Sealant and buff in a straight back and forth motion with the
DyNA
Concours MicroTerry all-natural microfiber terry towel which
was specifically designed to buff and pick up the dried/cured paint
sealant without introducing any spider-webbing to the paintwork.
-
Follow
with the DyNA
Liquid Gloss instant detailer spray for the added
clarity. On every step, always buff and remove the product with
a back and forth motion, never using a circular motion (i.e. The
Karate Kid).
