Types of Polish For Your Car

Different types of polish are used for different types of details. Some polishes are used to just provide a nice shine in a few minutes. Other types of polish are used to remove light or deep scratches along with providing a nice shine. Each polish is applied in a different way, but all should be removed the same way.

Types of Details

Liquid Polish

Buff waxing involves applying liquid polish to an applicator pad attached to a buffer. There are different grades of liquid wax. Some are used for removing deeper scratches while others are use to provide a nice shine to the exterior while removing light scratches.

Spray Polish

The simplest type of polish is a spray polish that is quickly sprayed on and wiped off. This type of polish will probably just remove really small scratches, but will provide a nice sheen to the vehicle. These are intended for quick, express details.

Paste Polish

Paste polish comes in a round tin can that is applied by hand with a small applicator pad. There are many kinds.  This type of polish will take long to apply because it's done by hand. Apply pressure with your hand when applying to help remove some small scratches.

All polishes should be removed with a microfiber towel. These towels are a very soft material that will prevent scratches.

Remember to efficiently wash the exterior of the vehicle before applying polish. You don't want to polish any dirt or debris into the paint. This could cause more scratches than you previously had. Also, make sure the car is thoroughly dried before polishing.
