Automotive Detail Stick

Abstract

An apparatus that focuses on improving efficiency, profitability, and results in the automotive detailing and automotive paint and body shop industries, contains a first sanding layer, a second sanding layer, and a center layer. An inner surface of the first sanding layer is connected to the center layer. An inner surface of the second sanding layer is connected to the center layer opposite to the first sanding layer. The multiple tiers of the apparatus provide more control to the user. A first edge and a second edge of the first sanding layer and the second sanding layer can be a straight-cut edge, a bevel cut edge or a rounded edge. Thus, the user can utilize the apparatus in a wide variety of surfaces. The consistency and the uniformity of the sanding patterns obtained helps the user polish the sanded area to a more refined finish.
