Does waxing come before polishing?
Jay’s question:
Hi, i am a bit confused about waxing and polishing. For best appearance and protection, do i polish that car with a good polish (meguiers) first and then apply the wax?”
Answer:
Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Polishing removes imperfections on the paint. All polishes are in reality just very fine abrasives that remove small bits of imperfections. BUT, they also remove the wax when doing this. Hence, you must rewax the car after the polish has dried and has been itself removed. Always use separate towels for polish and wax, so you don’t get the two substances mixed in together.
