The detailing processes of car polishing and waxing are mostly confused and misinterpreted by most of the people to be actually the same thing when in reality these both steps are completely different car detailing practices. Polishing of car aims to enhance the body paintwork shine either by using abrasives to actually level out the exterior body surface by removing any kind of defects in the detailing process, by filling or masking the harsh defects, or by the proper combination of both of these processes, completely depending on the kind and quality of product is being used.

Process of of Car Polishing:

Waxing is just a process of protecting the car’s paintwork after proper polishing using the natural carnauba products that is usually available in a solid paste form in auto detailing market. The wax does not constitute any kind of abrasives or say fillers and so would not really enhance the vehicle’s paintwork alone. When professionally applied to the properly prepared, cleaned and polished surface though, the car wax can really help to add a kind of depth and witness to the real finished paintwork.

People often confused with, or name it as a wax, an automobile sealant is simply a product made of synthetic ‘wax’ which usually turns up in the form of bottled liquid but there are companies that even have sealants in paste form. Again the sealant is professionally used for protecting the vehicles paintwork after thorough polishing. Due to the synthetic makeup, a quality sealant tends to be enough durable when compared to a natural wax but it can be used properly in conjunction with one so as to obtain both high-end finish and long durability.

An ‘all in one’ car detailing product is one that actually does both that is polished and protects the car’s paintwork simultaneously. Usually the all-in-one quality product will surely contain some kinds of light abrasives so as to help removing or reducing any kind of defects, swirl marks, scratches, fillers to mask any sort of deeper paintwork imperfections which cannot be easily removed by some light abrasives and the synthetic sealant for protecting the car’s painted finish. These all-in-one car detailing products are very efficient, effective for regularly maintaining the paintwork of the vehicle, and turns out to be a real and good choice when you think of maintaining the quality, shine, and health of the exterior body surface of your vehicle. You can even go car polishing process even when your vehicle is in a healthy state.

How often one should go for car polishing?

If you ask any of the car detailing professional about "How often you should polish your car" they will surely try to make out money from your question. There are some detailing outlets that actually talk reasonably. Car polishing is a process whose frequency completely depends on the exterior body surface and the condition of the painted surface. Apart from the condition, one more important factor to look for is the quality and kind of car polish used as they too come with the durability period. Just for an example, if you possess a car with amazing quality paintwork and you prefer to use an all-in-one product, without any fail I could suggest that it could be polished at regular interval of 4 – 8 weeks.

If the car's paintwork is in poor condition, however, and demands to be professionally polished with a heavy and quality abrasive polish, it is recommended that this must be undertaken exactly not more than twice on annual marking as you might run the risk of severely damaging the exterior finish by removing excess material from the body surface. If you think that car polishing is turning out to be a need then again fairly soon after some months from it has been severely polished, you must use an all-in-one car polishing product to easily renovate the exterior finish without even running the risk of any kind of damages to the paintwork.

As a wax/sealant doesn’t constitute any sort of abrasives, there is no limit or restrictions to the number of times the vehicle can be professionally polished as long as the detailing process is correctly performed. It must be directly applied after the car polishing process, and then further reapplied between the polishing after washing the car if you get to notice that the protection level has initiated to lower down.

Select Quality Car polishing products:

When going for car polishing process, the first and important thing is to choose an appropriate and ideal product which suits the requirement of the vehicle’s painted. Once you are done with the selection of the car polishing product, further you require to consider is its application. Microfibre and then sponge applicator pads are few of the products used in the polishing process that are quite soft, eco-friendly and easy onto the paintwork surface and strictly removes the risk or any sort of swirl marks or marring being inflicted while the polishing process. If using a machine car polisher, you will require to choose the appropriate size and quality density of the foam pads so to match the quality product you’re using and then backing plate of the machine.

Conclusion:

No matter how you are polishing your car; by yourself or by professionals, always try to use micro fiber buffing towels safely and effectively. This fiber cloth will help you to remove the car polish residue so that other detailing spray can be easily used for aiding the removal of any harmful residue if required.
