Car polish

Buffing compound and finish with good synthetic sealant

there are different liquids, some are called compounds, some just polish.

Is compound more harsh? like sandpaper?

Here's a great video about removing clearcoat scratches

Since what polish does is even out the clearcoat by *wearing off the top layer of it* I just don't do it except if I just bought a car and only that once. The washing / waxing / cleaning process damages the paint more than dirt sitting on it ever could, especially if done a lazy way.

I have very light scratches, like high grade sandpaper mark. I should go for polish I guess.

another question, are synthetic sealants better than wax?

Dont do it by hand OP.
You're arms will fall off!

You'll need a cheap DA polisher and some medium cutting pads.

You'll want to go in this order using a new pad for each;
Compound
Polish
Glaze (optional)
Sealant (optional)
Wax

If you want to apply the wax, glaze or sealant with the DA you'll need a finishing pad.

Meguiars ultimate wash + wax > clay kit > ultimate compound > ulitmate polish > carnauba wax.
You literally can't go wrong.

I did my car this way by hand over the course of two days no problem. You must be a pussy.

I've done it both ways.

All I can say is ain't nobody got time for that.
The DA gives a better, more consistent result and is much faster as well as being far easier.

Dont let your pride force you into acting like a retard.

It's not pride, it's being a poorfag.

I can afford microfiber towels but with how much money I dump into my car I don't have much left for a DA, and I already did most of the legwork by hand so there's not much point anymore anyway. All I'll need to do is wax every 4 months or so which you should do by hand anyway.

'yes'... but it's the same shit.

>wash and wax before clay/polish

yeah ya dun goof'd. You shouldn't be using wash and wax EVER

>>14776748
implying the 'wax' in 'wash and wax' actually has any significant coating that will effect claying

>>14776768

It's time to stop posting. You clearly don't know what you're on about.

edit: especially if you're recommending anything other than gold class or soft wash for a meguiars wash
