The Ming Mirror Finish Continued...

Q: Does the Ming process "burn" my paint finish?
A: No. Heat is a component of the Ming process, but, there is never enough heat to "burn" the paint. Further, Ming technicians are quality certified to understand your vehicle’s paint requirements and provide exacting care.

Q: What types of chemicals are used in the Ming process?
A: The secret Ming chemicals used to perform the Ming process are a mixture of water soluble ingredients specially formulated to protect a vehicle’s finish. They are safe for both the finish and the environment.

Q: If I have an accident which requires re-painting, do I have to re-Ming the entire car?
