Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is the purpose of a car polishing compound?
A polishing compound is designed to restore a vehicle’s paintwork by eliminating surface imperfections such as swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches. These imperfections occur due to exposure to contaminants, improper washing techniques, and general wear over time. Our range of polishing compounds for cars effectively removes these defects by levelling out the clear coat, creating a smooth and uniform finish. Whether you’re dealing with mild defects or stubborn imperfections, we provide high-quality solutions to bring back the brilliance of your car’s paintwork. - Can I use Auto Finesse polishing compounds on all types of paint finishes?
Yes, Auto Finesse’s polishing compounds are carefully formulated to be safe for various types of paint finishes. However, it’s important to identify the specific paint type on your vehicle before application. If your car has soft or delicate paint, using a gentler compound may be necessary to prevent excessive removal of the clear coat. For custom finishes or repainted surfaces, testing the product on a small area first is recommended. We ensure car compounds are effective and safe when used correctly, helping to restore paintwork without causing unnecessary damage. - How should I apply Auto Finesse’s polishes and compounds for optimal results?
To achieve the best results with Auto Finesse’s car polishes and polishing compounds, it’s recommended to use a machine polisher, paired with the appropriate foam or microfibre pad. Start by applying a small amount of product onto the pad and working on a small section at a time. Use slow, overlapping passes while maintaining moderate pressure to ensure even correction. Keep checking your progress, wiping away residue with a microfibre cloth between passes. Once satisfied with the correction, refine the surface with a finishing polish to enhance gloss. - Are Auto Finesse’s vehicle polishing compounds suitable for hand application? Yes, Auto Finesse’s compounds can be applied by hand. When applying by hand, use a high-quality microfibre applicator pad to work the polishing compound into the paint using firm, circular motions. This is best for small areas or targeted corrections, such as removing minor scratches or oxidation. However, for larger areas or deeper imperfections, a dual-action or rotary polisher will provide a more uniform finish. Our advanced formulas are designed to work effectively whether applied manually or with a machine, ensuring that your paintwork is restored with minimal effort.
- Can Auto Finesse’s polishing compounds remove water spots from paintwork?
Yes, Auto Finesse’s car polishing compounds are effective at removing stubborn water spots from paintwork. Water spots form when minerals from dried water droplets etch into the surface, leaving behind unsightly marks. Light water spots can often be removed with a quick detailer or mild polish, while more severe etching may require a cutting compound. Our range of polishing compounds, including their One Step Compound, can safely eliminate these imperfections, restoring a glossy finish. After polishing, apply a wax or sealant to prevent future water spot formation. - What are the benefits of using Auto Finesse’s Heavy Cutting Compound No:36? Our Heavy Cutting Compound No:36 is a highly effective solution for tackling severe paint defects such as deep scratches, heavy swirl marks, and oxidation. Unlike traditional compounds, No:36 provides a high level of cut without generating excessive heat, reducing the risk of damaging the clear coat. It’s an excellent choice for professional detailers and enthusiasts who need a reliable product to restore clarity and smoothness to heavily worn paint. For best results, follow up with a finer polish to refine the finish and enhance gloss.
- How often should I use Auto Finesse’s car polishing compounds on my vehicle? Polishing compounds for cars should be used as needed rather than on a fixed schedule, as they remove a small amount of clear coat with each application. For vehicles that undergo regular maintenance and protection, using a polishing compound once or twice a year is typically sufficient to keep the paintwork in excellent condition. If your car is frequently exposed to harsh environmental conditions, more frequent polishing may be necessary. Auto Finesse’s range of products allows for tailored treatments depending on your car’s specific needs.
- Can Auto Finesse’s car polishes remove all types of scratches?
Yes, our car polishes are designed to remove or reduce surface-level scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. However, deep scratches that have penetrated the clear coat or base coat may not be fully repairable with polishing alone. To determine whether a scratch can be removed, run your fingernail over it—if it catches, the damage is likely too deep for a polishing compound alone and may require professional repair. For moderate defects, a combination of our cutting compounds and finishing polishes can significantly improve the appearance of scratched paint. - Do I need to apply a wax or sealant after using Auto Finesse’s polishing compounds?
Yes, after using our car polishing compound, it is highly recommended to apply a wax or sealant to protect the newly polished surface. Polishing removes a fine layer of clear coat, exposing fresh paint, which needs protection from environmental contaminants, UV rays, and moisture. Auto Finesse offers a range of high-quality waxes and sealants that complement their polishing compounds, ensuring long-lasting protection and enhanced gloss. Applying a protective layer after polishing not only preserves the results but also makes future cleaning and maintenance easier. - What is the role of Auto Finesse’s Ultra Gaze in the polishing process?
Auto Finesse’s Ultra Glaze is a high-quality paint glaze designed to enhance the depth and gloss of your vehicle’s finish while temporarily masking minor imperfections. Unlike a polishing compound, which physically removes defects, Ultra Glaze fills in light swirl marks and fine scratches, creating a flawless, mirror-like shine. It can be used before applying wax or sealant for added gloss or as a stand-alone product to refresh the appearance of well-maintained paint. Ideal for show cars, Ultra Glaze ensures an eye-catching, deep-wet look.
