Auto polijsten, Hoe doe je dat?

Polishing a car can be a time-consuming job, but it is essential to maintain the appearance of your car. A polished car looks sleek and shiny, and it can also help protect the paint from environmental factors such as dirt and UV rays. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you polish your car like a pro.

Gather the necessary tools
Before you start polishing your car, you should have some essential products to get you started. These include:

- polishing agents: heavy cut & medium cut and a final finish polishing agent
- applicator foam pads with 3 different hardnesses
- A microfiber cloth
- An eccentric rotating polishing machine
- degreaser and coating

  1. Wash the car
    The first step in polishing is to thoroughly wash the car. Use a high-quality car wash such as Rocket Car Shampoo and a bucket of water to remove all dirt from the car. Be sure to dry the car completely with a microfiber cloth.

  2. Apply the polish to the pad.
    Apply a small amount of polishing compound to the foam pad of the polisher. (three dots is enough first)
    Work on one area of ​​the car at a time, starting at the hood and working your way around the car.
    grab the dual action polisher and put it on your paint.
    The machine makes a circular motion with eccentric movement to apply the polish well to the paint.

  3. Polishing the car
    When you are polishing you start with a heavy cut polish and end with a final finish polish.
    Also use the correct pads for the relevant polishing agent. Start with a hard pad and finish with a softer one.
    Run the polisher at a slow speed and move from left to right on the surface.
    then you move the polisher from top to bottom on the same surface to get the optimal result.
    With some polishing agents you will see that the polishing agent sometimes dries up, for this you spray some water when the surface is too dry.

  4. Finish
    Be sure to polish the whole part of the car before moving on to the next part.
    Also, be sure to remove all polish residue before moving on to the next section.
    You do this with 2 microfiber cloths. Wipe with the first cloth to remove the largest residues and then use the 2nd cloth to remove the residues and dot the "i".
    Take your time and work in small pieces to ensure a thorough polish.

  5. Protection
    Once you have finished polishing the car, degrease your car and apply a protective wax or coating to the paint.
    This helps protect the paint from dirt, UV rays and other environmental factors. Use a microfiber applicator pad to apply the wax in a circular motion, then buff the paint with a microfiber towel.

Polishing a car can take some time, but it's worth it to keep your car looking its best.
Follow these steps to polish your car like a pro and enjoy the benefits of a sleek, shiny car.
