A factory clear coat is typically only 40–80 μm thick, and once you're past it, there is no polishing your way back. A thickness gauge tells you exactly what you have to work with on every panel, spots previous repairs where paint has been built up well beyond factory spec, and turns \"that looks like resprayed metal\" into measured fact. For a professional detailer, it's the difference between confident correction and educated guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe PRO upgrade: what's new\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 4.0 LE wireless transmission.\u003c\/strong\u003e Measurements now stream live to your phone or tablet.
