Polish is polish.

Wax is wax.

Polish contains abrasive compound to remove dead oxides paints, minor scratches and not to be used often.

Wax is to give protection. No problem if used on every car wash.

Polish go for Soft99

Wax go for Kit

Washing go for Waxco

Ok. so polish is need to go for car repair shop or we can use by hand?

And also, my car have a lot of scratches. i think it should be give up for polish hmm...

I prefer DIY but tiring. Get those polishing machine to remove polish and wax.

Polishing is like detail work, waxing is just apply and leave it to dry.

Oh, okay. but the polishing cost too high, can't afford it since I'm a student.
so, is it need to polish whole car or just those which is have scratches?
btw, how much for soff99 in Malaysia?

Be careful when polishing though, if never done before you might actually burn the paint and make it worse. Polish also have some grades from very soft to quite harsh which can remove paint if pressed hard.

If minor surface scratch on the clear coat only/not yet taking off the paint, then can still remove/mask with polish then wax, but if paint already off, then cannot remove the scratch.

Noted. I thought it was easy to DIY, hehe. Thanks for your remind!

just respray lor... mine is 2005. i change se kit. spray subaru blue feel like new car edi.

just bougt at eneos...rm11...promo price i guess

Owh so it's ok if we wax on every car wash? Before this I thought wax will remove the original protection layer of paint.

how much you respray? at?

from website???

Wax is protection. No harm.

Polish is to revive the paint if it's dull and dead (if it's too bad than cannot be saved even by polish). It removes the clear coat abit hence that's why it can remove minor scratches and prolong use it do damage.

Respraying car can cost around RM1200 - RM1600 for outside painting for Waja size and RM1600 - RM2000++ for internal and external. More expensive if got dents, rust holes and misalignment panels. Better paint also can cost more like pearl and glitter mixture.

No wonder my monthly waxing failed to cover all the scratches. Thanks for your explanation bro, appreciate it much. Now I understand what's wax and polish, better than read wall of text.

Even a non metallic paint cost that much? one layer spray?

Non metallic will be cheaper but unsure since my last non metallic car was 9 years ago and I didn't even get the chance to respray it to non metallic since i sold it and purchase metallic paint car. White is best non metallic colour and Toyota's white is the best white I fancy (on the latest Altis).

No prob on the explanation.

WOW yours managed to last for 9 years? Yea white non metallic is nice looking but surely hard to maintain. Thank you once again mate. cheers

I am a neat freak or I could say I have OCD when it comes to car. I like to detail my car nicely.

Cheers if you have learn something new.

ooo i thought wax and polish is same

why nowadays very hard to find polish product in the supermarket? i think 4 or 5 years before there are Kit product that sell Polish based on year of the car category 0 to 2 years, 3 to 5 years and 6 years above..nowadays only wax is sell...might be user dont want polish..tiring
