How Many Days After Car Polishing Should You Avoid Washing the Car?

[WillowRose]

You should avoid washing the car for three to seven days after polishing. The material used in car polishing is glaze, which requires time to solidify and harden. Washing the car immediately can damage the glaze layer on the paint surface, resulting in less effective paint protection. Advantages of car polishing: It can make the car paint smoother and shinier. For oxidized, dull, or scratched paint surfaces, polishing can remove oxides and corrosive substances, restoring the paint's cleanliness. After waxing, it can provide waterproofing, anti-static properties, UV protection, and a glossy finish. Precautions for car polishing: Control the speed of the polishing machine and do not exceed the selected speed range. Maintain consistent polishing direction and follow a certain order. When polishing the hood, cover the windshield with a large towel or masking film to prevent polishing wax from sticking to the glass seals and wipers, which can be difficult to remove. Apply polishing wax evenly on a wool pad or sponge pad to prevent splashing and material waste. The polishing wax can first be poured onto the paint surface and spread evenly to prevent splashing.
