Message: <blockquote data-quote="Exquisite Auto" data-source="post: 1064166061" data-attributes="member: 138031">Junbecks has explained it rather well,we operate a paint shop and provide a variety of polishing services.Simply put,there are 3 fifferent types of polishing.1-Polishing that's very fine and only affects the upper layer of lacquer.It provides a lovely shine but if the paint is distorted or has deep swirls it has little or no effect at all.This technique is commonly used by car wash joints.2-Polishing that requires the use of proper polishing compound,it's the same compound thats used after cars are sprayed to remove any impurities during the process of spraying the 2nd coat of lacquer.This way any swirls/surface scratches/paint coming off due to rubbing against other cars(dependent on how severe the damage is) can be removed.It usually causes some distortion to the paint and requires machine polishing combined with a compound.3-Polishing that requires wet sanding.This technique is used on cars that have surface stone chips/deep swirls and so forth.We usually wet sand using very fine sandpaper and follow through with a proper compound polish so as to restore the damaged section.These for me would be the three types of polishing so when people tell me they've done a '2layer' polish at a car wash,i'm honestly clueless on what it means.Even if the car wash is applying 2 layers of polish,no compound is involved implying that one layer of gloss finish polish has been applied to another when even the first layer has not properly eaten into the paint(or lacquer for that matter) for it simply hasn't been designed to.</blockquote>
