Measuring Hidden Car Damage

Many of us have had to buy our first car and make the difficult decisions in which one is better than others. One big issue with second hand cars is they could have been in an accident or have had rust repairs. If a car has been repaired badly after an accident or rust, issues such as alignment, rust bubbles and pant damage could cause major costs in the long run.
Now DeFelsko have come up with a easy way of finding evidence of accidents, patching of rust spots, and past paint repairs. This handheld device measures the thickness of paint over any surface of the car. Since cars are now being made from other materials other than steel different measuring techniques. Magnetic principles for steel, eddy current for aluminum or ultrasonic for fiberglass and plastic.
This simple device has now become an accepted and reliable tool for car buyers and inspectors to assess the value of automobiles.
