Step-by-Step Guide to Polishing
1. Preparing the car
Start by washing your car thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, and other impurities. Use AutoGlym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner to ensure a clean surface. Rinse the car thoroughly, and dry it with a soft cloth. It is important that the car is completely clean and dry before you start polishing, as dirt or dust can scratch the paint.
2. Choosing a polisher
Polishing can be done manually, but for the best and most consistent results, it is recommended to use a polisher. CarLab.dk offers a selection of polishers designed to make the job easier and more efficient. Check out our range of polishers.
3. Applying AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
Now the car is ready for polishing. Use AutoGlym Super Resin Polish, which is ideal for both new and older cars.
- Apply a small amount of polish to the polisher's foam pad or directly onto the car's surface.
- Start the polisher at low speed and move it slowly in circular motions over the car's surface. Remember to cover small areas at a time to ensure an even application.
- Polish until the product has been worked well into the paint, and let it dry for a few minutes until it leaves a light film.
4. Wiping off
Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe off the dried polishing film. Be thorough and make sure there are no residues left on the surface. After polishing, you will immediately notice that the paint has gained a deeper gloss and a smoother surface.
5. Extra gloss and depth
For extra gloss, especially on dark cars, you can apply AutoGlym Ultra Deep Shine. This product adds depth to the paint and makes the color more intense.
- Apply in the same way as Super Resin Polish – with a polisher or a soft cloth.
- Work the product into the paint, and let it dry. Then gently wipe it off with a clean microfiber cloth.
6. Long-lasting protection
When your car is polished and shiny, it is recommended to seal the result with AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection. This product provides long-lasting protection against dirt, moisture, and UV rays.
- Apply a thin layer over the entire surface of the car and let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
- Then wipe off any excess product with a clean cloth.
7. Final detailing
Finish your polishing session by using AutoGlym Rapid Detailer to remove dust and fingerprints and give your car the final finish.
Tips for better results
- Always polish in the shade and avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause the products to dry too quickly.
- Wash and dry polishing pads and cloths after use to avoid cross-contamination.
- Polishing should only be done 1-2 times a year, as excessive polishing can wear down the paint.
