Instructions
Step 1
In order for the polishing process to give a good result, it is necessary to choose the right wax. Like most car cosmetics, it can be made both on the basis of synthetics and on a natural basis. Aerosol and colored wax are mainly made from synthetic polymers.
Step 2
Pay attention to the price of the product. Cheap wax bought at a car market loses its properties very quickly, requiring more frequent use. In addition, it may contain abrasive materials, the action of which will negatively affect the paintwork of the car.
Step 3
After you have chosen your polish, prepare your car for this procedure. Wash it well, then wipe with a soft cloth and let dry. Take a sponge or cotton cloth, dampen it and then dip it in the wax so that you catch a small amount of it. Excess wax can be a significant obstacle to polishing, as it will take a lot of effort to remove it neatly.
Step 4
Rub the vehicle with the cloth only moving in a straight line up and down or right and left. Avoid rubbing the body in a circular motion, as this will reduce the hiding power of the wax.
Step 5
Take a break from work to make sure there are no streaks. Then apply another coat of wax. When the product starts to harden, it will take on the appearance of an opaque haze - it's time to remove excess. Use a terry cloth for this.
Step 6
To simplify the work with wax, an electronic wax buffer will allow. Spread the wax in it and begin to slowly move it over the surface to be treated. Do not make sudden movements, move the device very smoothly. The buffer will apply the wax, and you need to make sure that the area is completely captured.
Step 7
Let the wax dry. To remove it, place a cloth on the buffer and run it over the entire surface. A sign of a high-quality coating is the formation of water balls when it gets on a waxed surface.
