Glossary
Clear coat
The unpigmented top layer over modern base-coat aircraft paint. It carries the gloss and takes the UV load; the color sits beneath it and is not what is being polished.
What it means
The unpigmented top layer over modern base-coat aircraft paint. It carries the gloss and takes the UV load; the color sits beneath it and is not what is being polished.
Why it matters
Correction works within the clear coat. Cut through it and the repair is a repaint of the panel, not a polish.
