Our dual-action machine polisher is perfect for removing small scratches and applying polish, with three different heads covering each job. Get your dual action car polisher. Apply your polish to the machine's pad and gently spread it around the area you're working on. Turn on the polisher and use a slow to medium speed to work in the polish. Keep a light pressure and keep the pad level - you don't need to 'scrub' the paint, just let the polish do the work!
Be aware that it is possible to damage your paint with a machine polisher, but with some care and attention, you can quickly get a great finish on your car or motorbike. Once you've used polish to get your paint into a better condition, it's a good idea to add a protective layer of wax or sealant. This extra layer covers the newly glossy paint and protects it from muck, as well as adding even more shine! Apply your wax to a microfibre cloth or applicator and start spread the wax in circular motions with medium pressure, covering every inch of the bodywork.
Once you have covered the area and left it to dry for minutes, you will start to see a dull haze. This haze indicates that its ready to take off. Using a clean, high quality microfibre towel, apply medium pressure in circular motions to remove the wax. For extra shine, buff off the wax for a second time with the clean side of the microfibre towel.
When you use these polishing compounds by hand or with a good car polisher , you put scratches in your paint finish that will not come out by using the next polish up in the line. To retain the good looks, the clearcoat must remain clean and finely polished. Heavy polishing will reduce finish clarity and depth. They must be avoided. Removing thousandths of an inch of the clear finish happens in a matter of seconds with an abrasive polish. My business partner got a 3-inch long scratch in the clearcoat of his new Lexus SC.
I used a spot pad and a corrective polish to pull most of the scratch out so it would pass the 5 foot test. I explained that if I removed more material we risked thinning the clearcoat and creating a patch of paint that no longer matches the rest of the finish. Sometimes, enough is enough. The real skill in auto detailing is learning how to read the paint and knowing what the final result will be when you use a product.
Are you using a polish designed to be used on an automotive assembly line by a technician with a 4-inch spot pad on a pneumatic polisher to remove grit sanding marks? If so, what are the equivalent pad specs, rotation speed and polish time to remove your grit equivalent swirl marks? It also provides the paint with a protective coating to keep it from fading and acts as a defense against scratches. A lot of weekend warriors think that keeping the car sparkling clean is easy. Like everything in life, you have to use the right tools to achieve the desired results.
Before attempting anything, you need to wash your car thoroughly. You need to remove as much of the road dirt, dust, and grime as you can before you begin to polish or wax. Ditch the used kitchen sponge when washing the car. Instead, use a microfiber wash mitt , which is soft, lifts the dirt off the car, and holds it in the mitt. Once your car is clean and dry, take a look at the paint.
Because polishing it will remove those pesky bumps and make the surface of your car smooth. Maybe, but maybe not. The polish gave your paint a tune-up. Car paint takes a lot of abuse. Rocks hit it, mud sticks to it, and people open their car doors and ding it. Add in the sun with no SPF 45 to protect it , bird poop, and Father Time, and after a while, the paint looks dull.
Polish will take care of bugs and things, but wax will restore the luster of your paint. Waxes, which also come in cream, spray, and liquid form, also have UVA and UVB absorbers to protect the paint from the sun. Choosing the right car wax depends on your needs. Consumer Reports has a car wax buying guide to help you choose the right product. Here are some tips for polishing and waxing:.
