How to choose car polishing paste, polishing paste

No matter how the owner takes care of his car, negative factors still make themselves felt and over time the mirror shine of the body disappears, and small scratches and cracks appear on the body, in which dust and dirt accumulate. This problem can be solved by polishing and protecting the body.

To choose a polishing paste, you need to focus on the condition of the paintwork. Polishing pastes are:

• coarse, medium and fine-grained;
• pasty, liquid, aerosol;
• non-abrasive.

If you bought a car recently, but you already notice small scratches on the surface that do not reach the primer layer, then you can get rid of them at home. You will need to purchase a fine grit polishing paste so that it can reach to the bottom of the cracks, but not deeper. A polish is applied over the polished surface, which will temporarily protect the surface from minor scratches.

The procedure is as follows:

• apply grinding paste to a soft, lint-free cloth and rub it over the surface;
• the manufacturer indicates the time required for drying and polymerization of the composition;
• when the paste dries, it will become whitish;
• then in a circular motion we achieve a mirror image.

If the damage is deeper, then you have to resort to using pastes with a high content of abrasive particles. It will no longer be possible to get by with an ordinary napkin; a grinder is best suited for surface treatment. At the first stage, the surface is passed over with a high-grain paste, and then brought to a shine with a soft paste or polish.

An important stage in the processing of the car body is the protection of the paintwork with the help of protective polishes. At the moment, you can purchase pastes of various cost and composition, which contain components such as wax, silicone, and polymers. A protective layer forms on the surface. If you carry out such processing several times a year, you can preserve the original appearance of your car for a long time.

You also need to polish the headlights of the car. You can get rid of small scratches with a fine-grained paste, and you need to polish it with the same polish, preferably paste-like or aerosol. Liquid polishes have a high fluidity, so they are recommended for use on hood, roof or trunk surfaces.
