Aimed to develop a polish that achieves a glossier surface faster, the team is to set the parameters to progress toward this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the parameters are all set, the team would mix various ingredients to make a prototype of a polish. Sometimes, the perfectly balanced mixture calls for adding a little bit extra of ingredients or even a particular mineral.<\/p>\n<p>The team runs tests in a \u201cpolish technicum\u201d to examine the prototypes with varying proportions of ingredients. This professional testing space is equipped with buffers, pads in all conceivable shapes and sizes, and excellent lighting of course. Central to it is a car and a few individual metal sheets &#8211; the test surfaces. Dark paints are known for their sensitivity, showing even the smallest of scratches, which is why the test surfaces are painted in the blackest blacks possible.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/kochexperts.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Testing-compounds.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Testing compounds&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Testing compounds&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;HelveticaNowDisplayBlack||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2>Putting theory to the test in the \u201cPolish Technicum\u201d<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>The team gets down to business and starts with destroying the mirror-smooth paint of the test objects. This is essential to achieve a starting point that matches real-life conditions: a weathered, painted surface covered in microscopic scratches. This is done with a 2000-grit Abralon pad.<\/p>\n<p>Stretched over a pneumatic polisher, the pad turns the beautiful gloss of the black metal sheets into a dull matt. The team then applies test polish after test polish, bringing the dull, worn surface back to its high gloss shine.<\/p>\n<p>Running these tests is central to the development of new polishes because each combination of ingredients shows varying results. The differences are small yet important. They are noticeable with a detailing light for paint correction and an expertly trained eye.<\/p>\n<p>The development team uses multiple criteria to judge the quality of the polish, including but not limited to the time it takes to restore a dull finish to its former glory, the cut, the level of shine, the sleekness of the polished surface, etc.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/kochexperts.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Polishing-test.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Polishing test&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Polishing test&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/kochexperts.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lab-team-tests-compounds.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Lab team tests compounds&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Lab team tests compounds&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;HelveticaNowDisplayBlack||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2>Making the cut<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Only those products meeting the strictest of criteria make the cut.
