Polishing a white car – what to look out for?

I have already explained to you in various articles and guides how to polish, which polishing machine to use and which polish is good.

In the end, all these articles and infos aim at the fact that you can do the car polishing yourself and do not necessarily have to pay a professional. Today I would like to explain a concrete example of use and go into more detail on how to polish a white car and what to look out for.

How should it look afterwards?

The question of all questions, in the normal case actually at the end of the contribution to find, I would like to give you but before an impression of what is possible, so you can decide for yourself whether it is worth the effort to you& …so here is a before-after picture of a white polished car

Short explanation about the picture: even if it doesn’t look like it, it’s actually the same car, just photographed in different situations and in different lighting conditions.

Every car should be cleaned as good as possible before polishing. Here you have a certain advantage with the white ones because, as just mentioned, you can see the dirt very well; on the other hand, you can also quickly despair if you can’t get the dirt and grime out of certain areas. In our example, this was the case in parts of the roof edges and, of course, on the labels on the tailgate. Really difficult to get it right.
