- Ceramic Silica Technology leaves your paint smooth and glassy. The Caliber PLUS Silica Polish incorporates the hardness and durability of glass into a fine polish that protects and glosses your paint.
- The final step in the paint correction process. Before using the Caliber PLUS Silica Primer Polish, you should compound and polish your surface to remove imperfections. The Caliber PLUS Silica Polish buffs light swirls and imperfections while leaving a gleaming, mirror-like shine.
- Apply prior to adding a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings protect your surface against weather, chemicals, UV rays, dirt, and water damage. Ensure your paint is flawless before adding extra protection by using the Caliber PLUS Silica Primer Polish.
- Polish imperfections or blemishes in a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings protect your surface against weather, chemicals, UV rays, dirt, and water damage. If you get imperfections or blemishes in the ceramic coating itself, use Caliber PLUS Silica Polish to remove these light imperfections without compromising or removing the ceramic coating.
- Keeps your surface hydrophobic for 3 to 6 months. The Caliber PLUS Silica Primer Polish repels water, helping you to avoid water stains and mud splashed from the road. Wipe your worries away with a finishing polish that wicks water.
- Works well in the sunlight. Polishing in direct sunlight is risky because polish can flash, or dry before you are done working. The Caliber PLUS Silica Polish contains lubricants that ensure this won’t happen, giving you enough time to do a thorough job.
-
- Make sure your surface is clean and free of solvents and waxes before applying the Caliber PLUS Silica Polish. This polish should be used after compounding.
- Apply a small amount of Caliber PLUS Silica Polish to a polishing pad. We recommend the Lake Country White Polishing Pad with a Flex Dual Action Polisher. Test the polish on an inconspicuous area of your vehicle before applying to the entire surface.
- Spread the polish evenly on your surface and buff in a crosshatch pattern on medium speed.
- Clean your pads frequently. Do not allow polish to build-up or harden on your pad to avoid damaging your surface.
- Once you have achieved a high gloss, wipe the surface with a Microfiber Towel.Run your fingers across your paint to feel the glassy finish!

Polish is used to correct minor imperfections in clear coat 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.
-
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.

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.
