Everything You Need to Know about Car Polishing

 

Why is the car an important process in maintaining the appearance of your vehicle? Car polishing prepares your car surface for waxing and sealing, gets rid of scratches on the windshield, and removes or coated contaminants from surfaces made of chrome. It repairs minor damage to your vehicle's windshield. Overall, polishing enhances the beauty of your vehicle. And, in the event that you want to sell your ride, you can expect a higher resale value.

Car Polishing or Waxing: What’s the Difference?

Some people think that polishing and waxing are the same process and are often used interchangeably. In fact, they are different.

Car polishing comes before waxing, not the other way around. Polishing also involves the use of products containing abrasive materials. This ensures that no contaminants will be sealed after waxing.

But what is buffering, you may ask. Now comes before polishing. Perhaps this is where confusion arises. The expanders applied some wax to the head of the buffer to facilitate the process and protect the vehicle surface from damage. Perhaps this is why some people think that waxing comes before polishing.

How to Polish Your Car

When it comes to polishing a car, either way fits. Your valuables are made up of different materials, which require different polishing techniques. Each material needs a dedicated product to bring out its beauty and enhance its shine.

For example, chrome surfaces need to be tested first to see if it is real chrome, plated, painted or coated. It should be cleaned thoroughly. If you are cleaning chrome wheels then use a pressure washer to get rid of brake dust, bugs, tar and other contaminants. Alternatively, you can clean it. Buff, polish and wax for best results.

Areas made of aluminum can look dull over time. Therefore it needs to be polished and polished regularly. Just a caution: aluminum is softer than chrome, so it requires extra care when looking at detail.

Plastic surfaces are easy to clean and maintain. But like other materials, plastics can at times look dull and lifeless, especially if they have been neglected. You have to clean it thoroughly, polish it with toothpaste or products made specifically for plastics.
