5 Steps To The Perfect Polish
5 Steps To The Perfect Polish
By Suzy Bremner
Have you ever wondered how people keep their car in such excellent condition and with such a fantastic shine? Well wonder no more, as I am about to reveal to you 5 easy steps to achieve and excellent shine and polish for your auto.
Step 1 - Wash
Washing removes loose surface dirt and loose contaminants that have not yet bonded to the surface.
Because most people wash their car more than any other procedure, it s important to use a car wash solution that is specifically formulated for vehicle paint. Whatever you do make sure you do not use any common household dishwashing or other detergents, as no only will these dull your paint work, they ar exteremly hard on other components of your vehicle such as rubbers, metals, vinyls and plastics.
Step 2 - Chamois
For a perfect dry, wipe off excess water with a chamois leather (synthetic or real) this will eliminate any water marks that may occur from water dripping down doors or from decals.
Step 3 - Apply Polish
The critial thing to do here is apply a good quality polish. I recommend MyHotRod Show Winning Shine, which is also a paint protection. The product gives an outstanding shine, but by far the best thing about it is that it is easy to apply and easy to buff up. There is nothing worse than having applied polish to a whole vehicle and then start buffing and find that it is like glue to come off!
The best way to apply your polish is with a microfiber applicator pad, you should do one panel at a time and apply the polish in small circular motions. The other thing to remember with polish is that less is more - the more you cake on, the more you have to take off!
Step 4 - Buff
Once the polish has dried to a cloudy residue, use a soft microfiber buffing cloth in a side to side motion, frequently turning the cloth to avoid polish build up. Give special attention to areas around plastic trim, decals and lights as these frequently harbour small spots of polish and are easy to miss.
Step 5 - Sit Back and Admire
That s it all done - now you should take time to sit back relax and admire your hard work and get ready to accept all the compliments for your as new looking shiny car!
