What Types of Scratches Can Car Polishing Repair?

[Johnson]

Car polishing can repair most scratches, including minor paint scratches, moderate scratches, or those that have reached the primer or metal layer. However, since vehicle polishing causes some damage to the paint, it is recommended to use wax for minor scratches. The clear coat of a vehicle is approximately between 40 to 60 microns, and each polishing session removes about 5 microns of the clear coat. Generally, a vehicle can only undergo 8 to 12 polishing sessions. Therefore, car owners should avoid frequent polishing and may opt for an annual polishing session to keep the paint looking as good as new. After car polishing, issues affecting the vehicle's appearance, such as the oxidation layer on the paint surface, scratches on the body, and reduced paint gloss due to oxidation, can be resolved. This process reduces the roughness of the wax surface, resulting in a shiny and smooth finish.
