Hi,
Polish can be very confused as many people will ask the detailer how many steps you will do? When they say "STEPS" means washing is a step, clay also a step, polish also a step, remove tar also step, waxing also step bla bla all add together will have more than 10steps!!! What they mean is just how many steps they will do to your car. And another famous question from the customer. "HOW MANY LAYER"??? These 2 make a huge different. Waxing can count as layer, polish can count as layer too but how will ended up 3-5layers? Simple, in correcting (polishing) your paint before we start, they will inspect your paint and see what polishing method required. If you are looking for a optimum result such as (swirl free, watermark free or scratch-less, mirror finish, glossy) this might need about 4steps of polishing routine which is below
COMPOUNDING - This step is aggressive as it will cut off a thin layer of clear coat to remove defects, swirls, water mark and etc. However it will look cloudy and has very tiny marring left over. This step is mostly make the big difference in the polishing cycle. But, we still need to refine the marring that left over.
CUTTING - This step is to remove the marring which had been compounded, but still the surface will look slightly cloudy, if the car is place under the sun (especially black car) you'll still will spot hologram aka Buffing Trials
POLISH - To enhance the gloss, polish provide light cut to make the surface look more glossy. This step will eliminate the buffing trials to create depth and clearer clarity on the surface. If your car have light swirls, polish is enough to remove most of the light swirls/defects.
FINISHING/GLAZING - This step has a lighter cut than polish, doesnt have any ability to cut the paint, this step is to make your car look more extra wet and glossy. However finishing polish has filler inside which will cover all the swirls. Once your car wash off the swirls will be spotted just like a girl putting foundation on her face.
So all these layer can count as 4 layer polish on the paint and waxing another layer so total is 5layer polish and wax.
Waxing is a protection, it has UV block, protects against harsh elements, easy to wash, water will glides so your surface will look clean and glossy compare to a car which has naked protection the car will look dirty and the dirt will stick on it easily after rain. However in our weather, you need to apply quite frequently as wax will melts in our hot country, best is park under basement so it will last longer.
Another famous question from customer.. how long wax will last? I cant really tell you how long it will last, it depends where you park your car, what your car expose to and how often you wash your car, all these will affect the durability of the wax. But if you say which is the best wax on the shelf i would say synthetic wax last longer than carnauba wax. Although I like the gloss from the carnauba but it doesnt last, I would prefer synthetic.
How long you need to polish? This will depend how particular and how much you love your car. If a well maintained car doesnt need to keep polish. But I will say no matter how careful you wash the car it still will have a few tiny hair line scratch but is not visible that much, if you find your car have these hair lines, a light polish would be best to remove them as they are not deep like scratches. You need to sacrifice some time to maintain your car if you want to have a glossy, handsome smart car. Same goes to girls they sacrifice their time every night just to maintain their faces. You need to know a car doesnt have much of clear coat for you keep polish, a girl face cant scrub everytime too if not their skin will peel off, so the best way to have a good looking car is to maintain it after you polish. Hope it helps and thanks for reading.
