Car Polish

Car polish, also known as polish, is a chemical product specifically designed for cars. It works to hide paint defects, making it smoother and softer, and adding a beautiful shine to the car, making it more beautiful and cleaner. It is not intended for paint protection like waxing, nano ceramic coatings, or protective films.

The primary purpose of polishing is to detect and remove minor scratches, dents, wash swirls, water spots, and many other defects that accumulate over the years. These problems accumulate on the clear protective layer on the paint.

Polishing also acts as a base coat if you want to wax your car later. It will leave the body surface smooth, clean, and free of impurities in preparation for waxing, further protecting it from weather elements, dirt, dust, and road salt, in addition to many other benefits.

In addition to the used cars for sale in Kuwait that Motory offers, it also offers a car protection service at the touch of a button. Book the service and enjoy superior protection for your car as quickly as possible and at the best prices, all from the comfort of your home.

Benefits of car polish

The many benefits of car polish are as follows:

Hides minor scratches

Polisher works to hide minor scratches and swirl marks that appear due to improper washing, weather conditions, and other defects. This is where polish comes in handy in removing these defects, which are primarily accumulated on the clear coat.

Removes bird droppings and tree sap

Cars are constantly exposed to dirt, dust, bird droppings, or tree sap. Polish is used to remove, mitigate, and treat these defects, especially if they are recent. However, if bird droppings have remained on the paint for a long time and in large quantities, polish may not be effective in this case.

Gives the paint a clear shine.

One of the beauties of car paint is the brilliant shine it produces on all parts day and night. This shine will fade with age, improper washing, and frequent parking in the sun. Polish removes the oxidized layer, revealing your car's original color and giving it a stunning shine.

Makes the Paint Last Longer

Because polish removes minor scratches and annoying swirls and adds a protective layer, even if just a little, to the paint, this will prolong its lifespan and make it more resistant to weather and sunlight. This will help keep your car looking like new for years to come.

Prepare the Car for Waxing

If you want to wax your car, the paint must be clean, intact, and free of defects. It must also be smooth. Polishing prepares the car for the waxing process, allowing it to adhere better to the paint, yielding better results, and lasting longer.

Increases or Maintains a Car's Price

A car with a shiny, clean, and well-maintained paint job, free of defects and problems, will have a higher price than one with dull, problem-ridden paint, or its price will remain stable compared to one with defective paint. Therefore, maintain your car to maintain its price.

Sometimes It Eliminates the Need for Repainting

One of the most important benefits of polishing, as we mentioned, is that it conceals and removes minor scratches, annoying wash marks, and other problems. This means that you may sometimes not need to repaint your car or the damaged area, as the polish can solve the problem at a low cost and quickly.
