«Miss Detailer» polishes cars and running a successful business

Do I need to do anything after I’ve used the polish?

Polishing is not a final process; you should not leave it at that because then the paint remains unprotected. Polishing is typically a preparation stage before applying either a carnauba wax or a ceramic-type sealant.

What’s the difference between a wax and a polish?

Because it is abrasive, a polish shouldn’t be used on a regular basis, only when you want to remove imperfections and in turn improve the clarity of the paint and the depth of shine. A wax, meanwhile, adds a layer of protection to maintain that gloss by preventing the likes of UV and natural contaminants from damaging the clearcoat.
