0:29 Polishing every week ruins paint 0:40 Waxing every time you wash is also not good 1:28 Polish is for minor scratches and is destructive (over time) 2:05 Polish: smooth, glossy, shiny 3:13 If you polish too much, the base coat on car is removed 3:48 I polish once every 2 years 3:53 Compound is a harsher version of polish 3:59 Polish and compound is for restoration. Wax is for protection.

Thanks a lot. I polish my car once a year and I wax my car 4 times a year. 8 year old car and it still looks like it just came out the showroom 💖

I wanted to know the difference between a polish and a wax so good ole Google pointed me here. I'm glad it did. Thank you for sharing your expertise in this area. You did a fine job.

First time I've ever come across any of your videos. I will say is thank you because you have explained it in a simple way that people can understand.

@sedumjp 3 года назад

This was an excellent video and explained stuff I simply did not know particularly the destructive nature of polish (over time). If you are using wax furniture polish of course it is not destructive, but having it pointed out how differently car polish works was very importnat. Great stuff. Thanks for making it.

@axios76 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the simplicity of explaining the theory behind this. I watched so many specialist videos and all of them assumed we all knew the A and B of this job and continued talking above that. As usual, one needs to understand the basics before going further. Thank you for your effort!

I use those 3 products you showed. The polish didn't get rid of the oxydation so i needed to use the compound. Then I used the polish, it brought back the shine the truck once had. Waxed it last to protect all the work i did. did it all by hand

I just applied that Meguiars gold class carnauba plus paste wax and its great. It was really lovely to apply and i could see it filling some of the really small scratches. After buffing it off, the car was so shiny! The reflections were amazing and the paintwork was incredibly slick and smelled nice. All i did was wash it, clay bar it and then wax it. Very impressed with it, great video btw mate 👍

@m.o545 2 года назад

If Ploish going to cut some off the clear coat then why would you recommend applying it every two years, doesn't that mean the clear coat will be off sooner? Especially if you never apply wax or add clear coat on the Polish will leave your car's paint with no protection over time. Please let me know and thanks for your video I really appretiate it.

I live much lower in latitude than you, with much harsher sun. Is there an effective UV blocker that is worth using? Additionally, I just bought a super clean used car, 2013 model. The seller said she had a 5-year “titanium” sealant, put on by the dealer for much money. Although the paint looks great (it was garaged) it feels almost chalky. What do you think of “titanium” sealers?

@NikosDIY 5 лет назад

I believe that a lot of us (incl. myself) are cleaning their car at the self-service touchless coin washes and usually they use hot water with soap for cleanig. So, what about a waxed car being washed with hot water does it strip fully the wax ? Would it make sense to wax the car every week then ?

@TorqueSteer 5 лет назад

Great question. The warm water won’t do any damage to the wax so it’s not necessary to re-wax the car. The heat may soften the wax a little but nothing compared to the sun hitting it on a hot day. It will harden when it gets cold again. The only thing I would be concerned about would be the soap used in these self service washes. If it’s not PH neutral then theoretically it could start to eat away at the wax.

I clay bar my truck and put a wax sealant on it only but is does have some scratches on it but have a clearcoat paint marker could use it on my truck.

@garym5276 5 лет назад

So, say I done a proper tar, iron, claybar decontamination on my cars paintwork then applied polish, wax/sealant... if I was to give the car a wash once a week after the decontamination would I just use some snow foam, 2 bucket wash and a dry for best results without stripping any of the previous wax/sealant off?

@TorqueSteer 5 лет назад

Exactly :) a ph neutral shampoo will preserve the wax. Just apply a fresh layer of wax every few months and maybe decontaminate once a year.
