How to Polish a Car?
2 Answers
The method for car polishing is: Clean the entire paint surface of the car, use coarse or fine wax with a polishing machine to grind, thoroughly clean all the wax on the car paint, wait for the moisture to dry, then carefully polish the car body with car wax, and after the surface wax is fully absorbed, wipe it once more. Below is relevant information: 1. Precautions: When polishing a car, pay attention to the pressure applied to different polishing areas to avoid grinding through the paint. Use a large towel to cover the front windshield; otherwise, the wax may stick to the wipers and be difficult to clean. 2. Tips: When polishing a car, master the tilt angle of the polishing machine, perform the polishing smoothly, and promptly clean the dirt on the polishing pad to avoid unnecessary damage to the paint surface.
I was also quite confused the first time I did car polishing by myself, but gradually figured it out. You have to wash the car extremely clean, leaving no dust at all, otherwise the sand particles will scratch the paint during polishing. Then use painter's tape to protect the window seals and edges of the headlights. I used a handheld polisher - beginners should stick to the lowest speed setting for safety. Remember to apply the polishing compound evenly like writing with a brush, working on an area about half the size of the hood at a time. The most crucial part is to keep the polisher moving slowly and never stay in one spot too long, or the paint will overheat and haze. After finishing, wipe it clean with a microfiber cloth and check under light for any remaining swirl marks. Don't rush to polish the whole car at first - practicing on the trunk lid is safest. Seeing those light scratches disappear is incredibly satisfying now, but limit it to once a month at most - too frequent polishing damages the paint.
