AFTER TUB IS THOROUGHLY DRY

INSPECT with the T- 5 Detection Light

to determine the dull and glossy areas of the tub

T-5 FINDS DULL AREAS OF TUB

We only treat the DULL WORN areas of the tub

bringing them back to the same high gloss of the non-worn areas

Turn off ALL other lights in room to make the inspection for best results!

Most tubs are dull ONLY in the bottom and approximately 1/3 up the side walls as shown with the RED arrows above.

Some tubs are NOT worn at all and may have only a few chips.

Some tubs are dull all over especially if they have been refinished previously and etched with hydrofluoric acid

We want to repair damaged areas, and restore the gloss to worn areas bringing the tub back to its original appearance.

AFTER MAKING A THOROUGH INSPECTION PROCEED

to Chip Repairs if needed or Slip-Grip if desired or to STEP-2
