How to Remove Car Polish


Materials Needed



  • Rubbing compound

  • Microfiber cloths



  1. Allow the car to cool off it if has been driven recently so the rubbing compound does not bake on the car. Make sure the car is parked in the shade and out of direct sunlight. The chemicals used to remove the car polish should never be used in direct sunlight.

  2. Apply rubbing compound with a microfiber cloth. Rub one section of the car with the rubbing compound while using circular motions. Continue applying rubbing compound to each section of the car until the entire car is complete.

  3. Allow the rubbing compound to sit on the car for 15 minutes. It should be just a little dry at this time.

  4. Once 15 minutes have passed, it is time to remove the rubbing compound. Take a clean microfiber cloth and begin removing the rubbing compound from once section of the car at a time. Use circular motions to remove as much of the compound as possible.

  5. Look over the car. The car should look noticeably unfinished with the wax removed. Go over the car once again with a new microfiber cloth. Make sure you wash and rinse your hands to remove any traces of rubbing compound from them.
