NexDiag for Auto Enthusiasts: Why Knowing Your Paint Thickness Matters
By Nargish Ansarion
How NexDiag NexPTG Is Revolutionizing Paint Correction in 2025
— A Remax Guide to Smarter Car Detailing in 2025
For auto enthusiasts, car care goes beyond just washing and waxing. It’s about precision. It’s about preserving value. And most importantly, it’s about making informed decisions when detailing, correcting, or even buying a vehicle. One of the most overlooked yet essential tools in any serious detailer's toolkit is a paint thickness gauge.
In this blog, the Remax team dives into why knowing your paint thickness truly matters, especially if you're into polishing, correcting, or restoring cars—and why we recommend the NexDiag NexPTG Professional Paint Thickness Gauge as a must-have in 2025.
Why Is Paint Thickness So Important?
Every car has a thin layer of paint, clear coat, and sometimes previous repaints. The integrity of this paint layer can make or break your detailing job. Without understanding how much paint you're working with, you’re essentially detailing blind.
Here’s why paint thickness matters:
- Avoiding Paint Burn-Through: Aggressive polishing without knowing the remaining clear coat can result in irreversible damage.
- Smart Correction Decisions: Knowing thickness helps you decide how many passes or which compound to use.
- Checking for Repaints or Body Repairs: Variations in thickness tell you if a panel has been resprayed or repaired.
- Maintaining Vehicle Value: Original paint in good condition holds better resale value.

Common Myths About Paint Thickness
Let’s bust a few myths that still float around in car care communities:
Myth 1: You Don’t Need a Gauge Unless You're a Pro
Truth: DIYers risk permanent paint damage without knowing how much they’re removing during polishing.
Myth 2: OEM Paint Is Always Even
Truth: Even factory paint jobs can vary across panels. Knowing helps you treat each panel correctly.
Myth 3: Visual Inspection Is Enough
Truth: You can’t see paint thickness with your eyes. A gauge tells you the real story.
Real-Life Scenarios Where NexPTG Helped
- A client came in for a full correction and ceramic coating. NexPTG showed one fender had thin clear coat. We avoided aggressive compounding and saved the panel.
- During a used car inspection, one door panel measured twice the thickness of others—clearly repainted. That transparency helped the buyer negotiate a better deal.
- An enthusiast polishing his classic car used NexPTG to confirm safe levels before paint correction. No guesswork, no damage—just results.
