How Long After Painting a Car Can You Polish It?
1 Answers
It is recommended to wait 3-7 days after painting a car before polishing. Polishing involves the following steps: 1. Wash the entire vehicle with a strong decontaminating paint cleaner to avoid particles and dust causing new scratches during grinding. 2. For defects such as coarse particles, fine sandpaper marks, or flow marks on the paint surface, use 600#~1000# wet sandpaper wrapped around a small rubber block to gently sand the surface until smooth before polishing. 3. Perform coarse and fine grinding using a mechanical grinder (electric or pneumatic) with coarse grinding paste to remove sandpaper marks, followed by fine grinding with polishing paste. 4. Use a mechanical polisher with a mirror-finish treatment agent to remove swirl marks left by the coarse grinding paste, achieving a mirror-like polish on the paint film.
