Frequently asked questions
Questions about Mothers
Which metals is Mag & Aluminum Polish intended for?
The polish is intended for suitable uncoated metal surfaces, not universally for every glossy wheel or finish. Alloy, clear coat, anodising and existing damage must be identified before treatment.
When do PowerBall and PowerCone help with metal care?
The tools assist mechanical work on suitable contours and less accessible metal surfaces. Speed, pressure, polish and component temperature must be controlled to avoid damaging the shape or finish.
What is the role of CMX Ceramic Spray?
CMX Ceramic Spray is a spray-applied protection for suitably prepared surfaces. It supports slickness and water repellency but does not automatically replace a professionally built ceramic coating.
How is a Mothers Clay Bar Kit used in the process?
Detailing clay mechanically removes suitable bonded contamination and requires sufficient lubricant. It can leave marks, so the paint is inspected afterwards and polished where necessary.
How does AVP separate Mothers metal and paint products?
Metal polish, paint care and protection are strictly separated by substrate and task. Products can be combined across brands when residue is removed completely and the next stage remains material-compatible.
