auto detailing servicesPolishing is a fundamental step in mobile car detailing. The polishing of a vehicle gives it a good shine in the end of the process. If you want to wash and polish your vehicle by yourself at home, you can do so.

Of course, to achieve the same level of shine that the professional detailers can give to your car, you must use the items that they use.

Here is a list of what you will need to detail polish your car. Do not forget that polishing does not only include the exterior but other parts of the vehicle as well.

  • Polisher. If you want superior work and an excellent shine for your vehicle, the best equipment that you can invest in is a polisher. There are certain models that can be used at home that are also utilized professionally. Before buying a plushier, always make sure that you read reviews about the model or unit and check the price as well.

If you love detailing your own vehicle, investing in a polisher is the best thing to do. There are several types of polishers and they differ from each other in terms of mechanisms. There are orbital polishers, rotary polishers and there are also combination polishers. Choose one that is appropriate for your own usage.

  • Polishing Pads. Pads are items that are directly in contact with the surface of your vehicle and they are the ones responsible for getting rid of that stubborn layer to bring out the shine.

Always choose quality pads because poor quality items may just scratch your vehicle exterior. If you get an auto detailing for your vehicle, you may notice that the detailer may change from one type of pad to another. The common types of polishing pads that you can find are foam pads and wool pads.

  • Polishes, Paint Cleansers and Glazes. These are the solutions that will hasten the polishing process. The type and the intensity of the solution should depend on the degree of dirt and surface stains on the body of your vehicle.

Read the solution package carefully for the instructions. One solution may not be applicable to all parts. Usually, separate cleansers are used for rubbers and for metals.
