Tips to Polish Your Car

Polishing your car on a regular basis is the best way to keep it looking like new. Some people cause damage to the paint on their cars because they are not properly polishing their cars, which can easily happen if you are not careful. By following a few simple tips about applying polish to your car you can lessen the chances of scratching your vehicle.

Tips to Polish Your Car

• Make sure your car is clean before polishing. Any dirt left on the car can scrub against the paint when polishing, which can lead to scratching of the paint.


• If you accidentally drop the pad and it comes in contact with the ground it should be thoroughly washed to remove any dirt or debris.


• The polish should be applied to the pad and rubbed on the car before turning on the buffer.


• Clean your buffing pads thoroughly after each use.


• Invest in a high-quality polish for your car because the more expensive products provide long lasting effects.


• Use a polish that has a urethane finish. Avoid the products that have lacquer finishes.


• Always polish your car in a shady area that is not exposed to the sun. Sunlight can damage the finish on the car.


• Apply the polish to the car in a straight motion to prevent leaving swirls.


• Start polishing from the edge of the car and go in toward the middle.
