What Are the Benefits of Polishing?

Polishing refers to the processing method that utilizes mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical actions to reduce the surface roughness of a workpiece, thereby achieving a bright and smooth surface. The following are the benefits of polishing: 1. Remove oxidized paint and various foreign objects on the car body; 2. Enhance the car's ability to resist water erosion on the paint surface; 3. Improve the car's ability to reflect ultraviolet rays, reducing damage; 4. Strengthen the hardness of the paint surface, reducing scratches; 5. Maintain the brightness and depth of the paint surface.

Wipe back and forth in a straight line along the scratched areas; 4. After a few minutes, wipe clean with a soft cloth; 5. Check the waxing effect after wiping is complete.
The biggest benefit of polishing is restoring the shine to the car paint, making it look exceptionally pleasing. After driving my old car for several years, the paint had turned somewhat gray and dull, with an oxidized layer accumulated from daily exposure to wind and sun. After polishing, the entire car gleamed like a mirror, and the previously visible fine scratches disappeared. The abrasive used during polishing also fills in tiny imperfections, making the surface incredibly smooth to the touch. More importantly, this treatment acts like a protective shield for the paint, defending against rain and UV rays, slowing down rust and fading. Some polishing treatments are combined with waxing, doubling the protective effect on the paint. I tried it once myself and found that washing the car became much easier afterward, as dirt didn't stick as easily. If you're planning to sell the car, a shiny paint job can even help negotiate a higher price.
