What is a polish and when do I use it?

Polish is used to correct minor imperfections in clearcoat or gel coat. This could be light scratches, recent water spots or bird dropping stain, marring from washing and drying, etc. Polish is fine abrasive used for paint correction and less aggressive than compound.

How often should I polish and do I need to compound an entire vehicle?

Polishing can be done as frequently as desired on a vehicle. You will always need to polish after compounding, or it can be done instead of compounding if the vehicle doesn’t need heavy correction. After a full paint correction has been done, polishing can be done every few months, bi-annually, or annually, to bring out a high shine and gloss to the paint. Polishing should be followed-up with a protection step unless you use a polish that contains protection in it.

What can polish fix and what can’t it fix?

There is a limitation to what can be fixed when it comes to paint correction in general. Polish is used to remove minor imperfections like recent water spots or bird dropping stains, fine marring from washing and drying the vehicle, etc. If water spots or bird dropping stains have been on the vehicle for a while polish probably won’t be aggressive enough remove them. If the vehicle has scratches from bushes or something being dragged across or rubbed up against the paint (other than a towel or wash mitt) polish probably won’t be able to remove these marks. You would need to step up to a compound for heavier correction if polish doesn’t get the imperfections out that you are trying to remove.

Description

Wet Gloss is the newest member of Koch-Chemie's wet-applied short term sealant family. Wet Gloss is ready-to-use and lightning fast to bond to the surface. Because of the way it reacts and spreads with water, it takes remarkably little product to cover the vehicle. 1-2 sprays per panel depending on size is all it takes to add 4-6 weeks of ice-cold gloss and amazing water beading to your vehicle. The fast reaction time also makes this product perfectly safe to use in direct sunlight.
For Best Results
- Apply undiluted to a clean, still-wet vehicle.
- Let sit on the surface for approximately 30 seconds.
- Rinse off the surface.
