When is the Best Time to Polish a Car?

[SabrinaMarie]

New cars should not be polished within the first two years, while older cars generally require polishing once a year. Below is relevant information about car polishing: 1. Definition: Car polishing is a step in the car detailing process that is performed before waxing, sealing, or coating to prepare the vehicle's surface. This is because sealing and coating require prior polishing, and only a finely polished vehicle can achieve a mirror-like finish. 2. Function: Without polishing, the car's paint surface remains uneven, causing the sealant to last for a very short time and failing to provide long-term adhesion, making it no different from waxing. Of course, depending on the condition of the paint, not all three polishing steps may be necessary—new cars often only require one-step restoration. However, cars that have undergone coarse polishing must undergo medium polishing, and those that have undergone medium polishing must be finished with fine polishing.
