    Thankyou!! I must have misunderstood the thing with the polishing machine because I truly believed "polishing" would give a greater shine.. Just like polishing silver.. The more you rub the more it shines..


    I'm sorry but all the names in here I'm not familiar with.. Whats the "real" name of the product? Is it called Showcar Glaze or what?
    Apply a THIN coat of wax.

    Let it dry.

    Remove the residue.

    If you continue to rub or "polish" the wax after removing the residue, you will just rub off the wax.

    Silver polishing is NOT a good comparison. Silver polish has abrasives. Wax does not (if any "experts" are reading this, please don't confuse WestDK by pointing out minute amounts of cleaners or fillers in waxes).

    Cleaner/polishers like 83/80/82 are better compared to silver polish. Silver polish's abrasives remove scratches. The more you polish, the more silver is removed and the scratches dimminish. Polish long enough using enough silver polish, and you will remove enough silver around the scratch to bring the surface of the spoon down to the level of the scratch and the scratch "disappears".

    Shine requires a perfectly smooth surface. Ceaner/polishers are used to make paint perfectly smooth.

      So if i polish for 5 days in a row (not actually, just to give point it out) it will shine more?

        Yes, after you rub all the paint off your car, the metal will shine more.

          Yes. This car used to be red. It really shines now:

            You misunderstood me.. If I rub much with the polish will it give a higher gloss?

              If you polish your paint with a cleaner polish like this, yes but only to a point:



              Which cleaner/polish to use depends on the condition of your paint. They are available with different levels of abrasives. (See the red arrow on the bottle?)

              You apply these products until you achieve a smooth, defect free paint surface. You want to use the LEAST ABRASIVE PRODUCT that accomplishes this. THEN STOP and apply wax.

                Is that fine enough?

                  You must decide after analyzing your paint. You should read the how-to articles on this website. They are really worth reading. More than once.
