Great info.
It can be applied professionally at a body shop or car wash or you can apply it yourself by rubbing it on the surface with a microsoft cloth.
Car polish and car cleaner polish are not the same thing. Car cleaner polish removes leftover debris such as bug splatter, bird droppings, and minor scratches. Car polish provides protection that can last as long as one year between coats and provides a deep shine to the car.
Apply car polish only after your car has been washed.
Be careful as to take a non abrasive car wax so as to not damage your car. Read the directions clearly given on the package and first test it on a small area.
If you choose a liquid polish, it should be shaken so as the liquid is mixed thoroughly and then it should be applied on a sponge which then is to be applied all over the car evenly. While waxing follow a top t bottom approach as it generally considered that the bottom panel of the car are the most dirty. it is preferable to make a thin and even layer all over the car and thick layers should be avoided as due to that the shine is lost.
Be careful not to put the car polish in gaps around the structure. When done, take a cotton cloth and wipe out the car polish. You might notice white stains which are actually the residue and needs to be cleaned. Use another clean cloth to finish off the car polish. These precautions are necessary to avoid any future peeling of the original paint as good polish provides a sleek look that is seldom present in old cars.
Car wax forms a thin transparent layer over the cars exterior paint thus forming a primary protection against any harm caused to the automobile. This layer helps in covering minor scratches and stone chips by making them less visible. The car wax also seals the paint so there is not contact of water with the paint which could lead to corrosion. Car wax has to be reapplied regularly and is not permanent. The life of a good quality car wax is 3 to 4 months thus there is a need for reapplication every 3 months.
Thanks.
To minimize scratches on a car’s surface, you should use car polish. You should only use car polish after you have washed your car. Both liquid car polish and paste car polish have advantages.
Car polish is applied to the surface of a car to erase scratches and smooth out the finish of the car. It can be applied professionally at a body shop or car wash or you can apply it yourself by rubbing it on the surface with a microsoft cloth.
Some car washes have the high pressure wheel washing and total vehicle coverage. Spray head which has the ability of spraying concentrated blast of water is also now common in car washes. Then for the wheel washer, they have the rotating manifold for the front and read tires. Compared with the drive way car and parking lot washing, they are more environmentally friendly. This is because they have treatment facilities for the waste water.
Instead of applying the Car wax on the entire surface at once, it should be first tested on a patch.
When applying the Car Wax, it should be assured that the car is not parked in direct sunlight. Surfaces that are cool are better for applying the Car Wax. While applying Car Wax, one sections should be completed before proceeding to the other one.
You should wash and dry the car properly before applying wax to it.
Never use your household detergents as they are too strong leading to removal of paint. The third stage is to again wash off the car detergent with plain water. Chamois leather or micro fiber towel is recommended to dry the car exterior. The next step is to apply the car polish with an applicator brush in an even manner. There should be no gaps in the application of the car polish.
