Polish

***Redleg06Si*** · 03-31-2007, 08:30 AM

Noticed on here that some people apply the paint polish (Meguiars Step 2) between wax coats. Does this actually do anything for the car or is it just thinning the last coat of wax you put on there?

If you're going to do the 3 step car wash then it's best to remove the wax on the car first. The first 2 steps should be done without any wax on the car, because it removes swirls and prep's the paint for waxing. It doesn't work as well if you already have wax on it.

To remove the wax, just mix in a some detergent with the car wash liquid.That'll take off all fat compounds, including wax.

IF you want to remove the wax just use the Step 1 it's a paint cleaner. Step 2 is to polish it makes it shine. Step 3 is the wax it protects ur car. If you want to do something to it between waxing just use a quick detail wax after you wash ur car. I use Meguiars quick detail everytime I wash. I think it keeps the car looking in top shape, But that's just me.

cool...yeah....already done the 3 step process with Meguiars Gold Class but was wondering if the polish in between additional coats helps the paint color......guess not.
