Q: What is the difference between vehicle polishing and buffering?
A: Vehicle polishing involves using a product to remove oxidation, stains, and light scratches from a car’s paintwork. This is primarily done to restore the cars original shine and gloss. Buffering, on the other hand, is a method of polishing that involves placing a special pad fitted to a buffing machine against the car’s paintwork to smooth and shine the surface. The technique brushes away small imperfections and creates a deep, professional shine.
Q: How often should I polish and buffer my vehicle?
A: As with most things, the frequency of polishing and buffering depends on your vehicle’s condition and how often you drive it. Generally speaking, it’s common practice to give your vehicle a quick buffing and polishing every three to six months, or whenever it looks like it is starting to lose its shine.
Q: What are the benefits of polishing and buffering my vehicle?
A: By regularly polishing and buffering your vehicle you can protect the paintwork, improve the vehicle's appearance, and increase its resale value. Additionally, regular polishing and buffering will help to protect the paintwork from environmental wear and tear, such as UV radiation, rain, bird droppings, dust, and tree sap.
