What are the detailed steps for car polishing?

Use car shampoo to clean the surface of the car paint. Then, select the appropriate sandpaper, wet it, and perform a rough sanding on the car paint surface until the scratches are smoothed out. Begin the polishing process by choosing a suitable polishing machine and applying polishing wax. Perform mirror surface restoration by directly wiping the polished area with a mirror surface treatment agent.
A few days ago, I helped a friend with car polishing. Here's how I remember the steps: Start with a thorough wash to ensure the surface is clean and dust-free, especially using a clay bar to remove stubborn stains. Then inspect the paint damage level and choose the polish based on scratch depth—I usually start with coarse wax for deep scratches, then switch to fine wax to enhance shine. A dual-action polisher is the most reliable tool, working in small sections (about two minutes per area) with light, even pressure to avoid overheating and damaging the paint. After polishing, wipe off residue with a soft cloth, check for uniformity, and apply a high-quality wax or sealant for lasting UV-resistant protection. Don’t forget to clean your tools and rinse the polishing pads. Take your time—rushing won’t give the best results. Every time I finish, the car looks brand new, and even neighbors compliment the pro-level work. After a few tries, you’ll find your rhythm. A quick tip: avoid polishing in summer heat—hot paint makes the job harder.
