“Scratch-resistant paints”, already widely used in the automotive industry, are based on a viscoplastic clear coat and present entirely new challenges for rubbing compounds. Although these paints are difficult to scratch, they are nonetheless subject to wear resulting from car washes and weathering over a long period of time. Treatment of these surfaces is only possible with a specifically developed rubbing compound. Virtually all SCHOLL rubbing compounds are ideally suited for mechanical treatment on challenging scratch-resistant paints.
