What Is Car Polishing?

Car polishing prepares the surface of your car for waxing and sealing, gets rid of scratches on the windshield, and removes contaminants from surfaces made of or coated with chrome. It repairs minor damages to your vehicle’s windshield. All in all, polishing enhances the beauty of your vehicle.

Why Car Polishing is important?

For car detailing enthusiasts, polishing is a must in any detailing regimen. For most car owners, on the other hand, polishing is often neglected and overshadowed by waxing and sealants, but is by far the most beneficial step in maintaining the pristine appearance of your car’s paint finish. Even with today’s super protective ceramic coatings, a paint polished to perfection is vital since the ceramic coating can last several years. Since the finish will be sealed for several years, it needs to be in good condition and polished properly. Nothing is worse than sealing in a paint finish that is hazy, oxidized and full of swirl marks.

What Are Polishes?

Unlike car wax or coatings, which act as a shield designed to take the abuse of environmental elements so the paint surface below doesn’t have to, polishes are the real labor force in the process of paintwork care maintenance and enhancing appearance. Polishes maintain and extend the life of paint by one, removing dirt too stubborn for general washing; two, removing oxidized paint (aged paint); three, smoothing out surface scratches and swirl marks (which are circular surface scratches); and four, conditioning the paintwork so that it doesn’t dry, crack and peel. Knowing this, it’s easy to see why polishing should be given considerable consideration as part of your overall car detailing regimen.

CORRECTING THE PAINT WITH CLEAN & POLISH

Correcting is the act of removing paint imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches and heavy oxidation from the paint finish. The paint finish might be new with lots of swirl marks from improper washing/drying or from a visit to a carwash with aggressive brushes or it could be old and neglected with swirl marks, scratches and lots of oxidation. Whichever the scenario, we Clean & Polish with a foam cutting pad and a DA polisher that will remove all these imperfections.

ENHANCING THE PAINT WITH ONE STEP POLISH

We take the corrected paint from our last step and take it to the next level of depth and gloss. One Step Polish will polish out the abrasive dull finish left by the Clean & Polish and bring it back to the original finish or better. This can reduce swirl marks and remove any haze. It’s also a great maintenance polish to keep haze and swirl marks from coming back.

ADDING GLOSS AND PROTECTION WITH POLISH & WAX

At this point, your paint finish should be in near perfect condition. But there’s actually still some room for improvement and that’s where the Polish & Wax comes in. Polishing & Waxing will enhance the depth in the paint finish even further and then leave a protective layer of polymer and carnauba wax to keep that new pristine finish protected from bird droppings, sap and UV rays. This step will remove light oxidation, haze and protect the paint finish.

When To Polish?

We recommend having your vehicle polished twice a year or every six months – preferably spring and fall since Polishing helps to mask imperfections on the surface so that scratches and small dents are less noticeable. Polishing also helps to reduce the appearance of water spots or weakened paint from the effects of acid rain. Lastly, Polish and wax work together to give a car a top of the line shine.
