As before, nextzett polishes are extremely easy to work with and have the perfect balance of core ingredients matched up with the latest German abrasives that know just went to stop cutting.
The first step in polishing is choosing the right polish. And forget about whether the polish is for light or colored paint. It doesn't matter because despite the color of the paint, there's always going to be a clear coat on top and that's what you're correcting. Like the name says, clear coat is just clear paint.
A side note As for where the idea about using certain polishes for different paint colors came from is not certain. I do have a guess though. Many years ago, 3M released two body shop polishes - one for dark colored cars and one for light colored cars. The formulation for both polishes were the same but while the polish for light colored cars was white, the polish for dark colored cars was tinted gray so when you polished, the dust and splatter formed was dark and less visible on dark colored cars.
Why that mattered, I don't know? But in the body shop, we used either polish despite the color of the paint and cleanup was the same regardless. Thankfully, today's polishes don't dust and splatter like they used. Good for clean up and in the case of the dusting, good for your health.
Correcting is the act of removing paint imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches and heavy oxidation from the paint finish. Whichever the scenario, using No.

Like we noted above, because of how polishing "removes" and waxing "smooths," they're the ideal one-two punch for those serious about a great looking vehicle exterior. And while you can perform each of these tasks independently of one another, if you do perform them simultaneously, we always recommend polishing before waxing. As you can tell from this piece, we recommend not thinking of polish and wax as competing products - and that's because they serve very different purposes.
Instead, we suggest you think of them as complementary products or products that you can apply to your vehicle's exterior independent of one other. It was made to be a 1 step polishing compound perfect for smaller scratches and swirl marks.
We suggest referring to the product manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper application, as you don't want to overuse either product.
Generally, however, we suggest hand polishing over using an orbital buffer if you want a greater degree of control over the application. It will take longer, but many drivers enjoy the process and the level of control they're able to have as they perform it.
As you apply the product by hand, you'll likely be first applying it to a cloth or pad, though some waxes offered today come in spray bottle form and allow you to simply spray it on.
Next, you'll apply it in a circular motion on your vehicle. Work slowly and try to apply the product in sections to your vehicle. You'll also want to apply a little more elbow grease to scratches as you're polishing. In circular motions, rub or buff the area you're working on until there's no product left visible on the vehicle.
We always suggest giving your vehicle a thorough hand wash to remove as much surface debris and dirt that you can. We don't recommend most commercial car washes because they cause swirl marks and scratch marks over time. However caution is needed as it is much easier to do damage with a machine polisher than it is polishing by hand.
Bear in mind, you want to remove as little paint as possible. The rotary works faster, but can also strike through paint quicker, especially on edges.
Depending on the condition of your paint you might start with the coarse polishing pad, and move to the fine polishing pads. Again, we have the Dodo Juice Range in stock.
Next, we need a suitable polish, remember, not all polishes will be suitable as they are run from very coarse compounds, all the way up to very fine finishing polishes.
Which one you start with depends on the level of defects and swirls in the paintwork. Always aim to use the least aggressive pad and polish combination to get the job done so that you remove the least amount of top coat possible.
Polishing Compounds are the most aggressive types of car polish and are really only needed for very badly swirled and marked paint. Cutting polishes are next up, and are a popular starting point with most detailers. Poorboys World SSR2.
Finishing polish is the final step, and must always be done after using a cutting polish. A good product will remove holograms and very light marring and hazing of paint. Some polishes need to be left on the car, so check the packaging to see whether you need to do this. Top Tip: Run your finger through the polish once it has been left for the right amount of time. If it comes away clean its ready to take off. If it doesn't, it needs to cure a little longer.
Use a clean, very soft cloth microfibre towels are great for this and buff off the polish residue, making sure to keep folding the cloth to use the clean areas. Once your car is looking exceptionally clean and shiny, you're all done! Shop microfibre cloths. If you don't fancy putting in the hard work, then why not invest in a machine polisher?
