What is the purpose of polishing?
2 Answers
Automotive polishing serves the following purposes: 1. Polishing can make the car paint smoother and shinier; 2. After polishing, waxing and glazing treatments last longer; 3. Polishing can make the car cleaner and effectively remove dirt; 4. Polishing can effectively address minor scratches on the car. The steps for automotive polishing are as follows: 1. Wash the car: Clean the car body thoroughly before polishing to remove dust particles and avoid secondary damage to the paint; 2. Sanding: After washing, perform a rough sanding on the car body. Choose different sizes of water sandpaper based on the size of surface imperfections and scratches; 3. Polishing: After sanding, use a suitable polishing machine with polishing wax to perform detailed polishing on the sanded car body; 4. Mirror restoration: After polishing, use a mirror treatment agent to restore the mirror-like effect of the car body, followed by waxing and shining.
I've polished my beloved car many times myself. Polishing is all about giving your car a fresh new look, primarily by removing those tiny surface scratches and oxidation layers, making the paintwork glossy and shiny. After prolonged exposure to wind and sun, the car's paint tends to dull, but polishing restores it to that factory-fresh shine. Remember to use the right polish and a soft cloth, working slowly without applying too much pressure to avoid damaging the paint. After polishing, don't forget to apply wax for protection—it helps maintain the shine longer and provides water and dirt resistance. I believe regular polishing can extend your car's lifespan, saving both money and hassle. Here's a handy tip: polishing promptly after rain helps reduce water spot buildup—quite practical. In car maintenance, polishing is a simple yet effective method. I recommend beginners start with manual polishing before jumping into power tools.
