A Brief History of Detailing
Do you know that?
1800 It all started with wax!
The beginnings of detailing, dates to 1800. This just then, in one of the German cities (Bischofsheim), the first wax on based on animal fat. Its purpose was to protect the varnish paints with which horse carriages were painted.
1886 The beginning of the automotive industry!
German engineer Karl Benz w In 1884, he developed a design for a three-wheeled vehicle with internal combustion engine and electric ignition which could develop a speed of 16 km / h. A year later, he constructed it, and a In 1886 he patented. This last date is considered today as the historic beginning of the automotive industry. Interestingly, the public initially did not accepted the invention. WITH It was met with great interest only two years later, when Karl Benz presented on fairs in Munich its improved version. Unfortunately, even then the vehicle did not found many buyers.
1888 First polishing paste and carnauba waxes!
WITH the moment the first car appeared, the pace of product development to vehicle care sped up rapidly. IN 1888 in Germany began producing the first polishing materials - both liquid and solid pastes for polishing. IN at the same time, surface finishing by applying a polish also became common. It is true that the method has been used since XVII century, but this In the automotive industry has experienced its second youth. Polish up to today it serves as a conditioner for varnish, giving it additional shine, colors and "Wet look". WITH turn in In 1910, George Simons developed Carnauba wax as well cleaner z its application.
1920 Year REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERIES BY 3M COMPANY
On in the early 1920s, the American company 3M invented the first on world waterproof sandpaper that allowed to reduce the amount of dust floating in in the air during the production of cars. Five years later, 3M after once again revolutionized the automotive industry and detailing by developing a masking tape that it allowed painters to obtain a sharp cut off when working with with paints.
1944 The first bottled car wax is made!
Liquid varnish for car polishing was invented and elaborated by Ben Hirsch in 1944. That due to offered for through it, the hard finish of the coating, resembling think the hard shell of a turtle, the product was named Turtle Wax.
1969 New in Polymer Detailing
DuPont, one of the revolution leaders in polymer materials, w 1969 introduced on first market on the world of polymer sealant.
1980 The car cosmetics industry accelerates!
IN the 70s to Europe and Automotive news from Of the United States. Among them were paints on metal base with transparent coating, providing exceptional hardness, shine and long-lasting color. WITH the Japanese turn on in the field of auto detailing products, they were the first to propose varnish clay for car care in the 80s
2000-2007 Technological breakthrough NANOTECHNOLOGY
IN In 2000, PPG Industries invented a binary clear coating composition that eliminated paint degradation from reasons such as acid rain, salt and UV radiation. Seven years later on nano-technological polymer coatings appeared on the market.
Detailing services and range of products used in vehicle care processes are constantly evolving - from Nineteenth-century animal waxes by abrasive pastes that appeared on market in 1900 until the first ceramic coatings that were created in year 2000.
CURRENTLY
Contemporary auto detailing has been gaining popularity since the 1960s and with each year it gains more and more enthusiasts who they do not treat this field just like work or way to life but first and foremost passion, a even a lifestyle.
