First, What Is Polishing?

You could say there are a few different forms of what may be referred to as “polishing’. Maybe you’ve heard them described as cutting, refining, restoring, compounding or a number of other names and sub-categories. The first thing to remember though, is that on a very basic level, all these terms mean the same thing.

Polishing, whether that’s by hand or machine on paintwork or even gloss plastics, is simply the mechanical (or physical) removal of defects through surface abrasion. For the most part, the process involves abrading the top layer to remove a microscopic amount. This in turn smooths out the defects creating a flatter surface. This also causes light to bounce off in a more uniform direction, levelling the optical finish, making the surface appear deeper and shiner. Polishing then, is a bit like exfoliating for cars!

What distinguishes say, cutting and refining from one another is the intensity of the products used for the desired result. A coarse cutting compound for example, will be more abrasive and remove more of the surface material more quickly. While a finer finishing compound or polish will have a much less aggressive level of cut and be designed to smooth out the surface on an even more microscopic level, inflicting scratches so tiny that they simply can’t be seen.

Think of it as just like sanding down a block of wood. A coarse sandpaper will take away a large amount of material quickly but leave a noticeably unrefined finished. Following up with varying degrees of finer sandpaper smooths the surface to a level that’s pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye. It’s exactly the same idea when polishing paintwork, just on a more infinitesimal level.

What does machine polishing do?

Remove scratches
It is not possible to avoid scratches when a vehicle plies on road. However, a car polish can effectively remove scratches from your car surface that are not deep enough. It will give a smooth even look to your car paint.

Protects against sun damages
Faded paints, discoloration, and oxidations are typical symptoms that occur due to direct sun exposure.

Shield your car paint
Car waxes and ceramics gives a smooth thin protective layer to your car paint which does not allow sticky particles to get stuck on your paint that otherwise would not get wash away during washing. Hence its helps prevent dirt penetration in your car paint.

Covers paint defect
Sometimes your car is left with botchy paint marks, which appear in swirls and uneven paint coats. Car polish is the best remedy to rectify this nuisance by making the paint appear smooth on the surface of the car, leaving it all look like a brand new car.

Add gloss and shine to your car
A flawless finish to your paint points to a brighter, shinier appearance that can be accomplished by having the best hand car polish on your car even after years. rubbing car wax on your vehicle would bring back that luster, which has gone away with years.

Makes Spots Invisible
There are also some stubborn spots on the paint of your car that just won’t go away. Though car polishes are not cleaners and therefore cannot remove spots, they become much harder to spot through the smoothened paint. You can imagine how clean your car looks by now.

Improve resale value
A fading chip-off paint reveals your car’s health, which downgrades your car’s resale value. So you need to maintain your vehicle from inside as well as outside to explain the resale rate. Luckily, car ceramic coating can replenish the dull look of your car by adding shine to it.

And remember…

The way you keep your car reflects your overall personality. And after all these benefits, you must be convinced about the advantages of car polishing for your vehicle. It is not only about beautifying the interiors of your car but dissipating the visible blemishes.
