FAQs
Can I use this polish on matte paint finishes?
No, this Performance Polish is designed for gloss paint finishes and may alter the appearance of matte or satin finishes.
How long does the protection last?
The durable layer of protection typically lasts through several washes, but the longevity can vary based on environmental conditions and washing frequency.
Do I need a machine polisher to use this product?
While a machine polisher can be used, the product is designed for easy application by hand using a polishing pad and microfiber cloth.
Can I apply this polish in cold weather?
It is best to apply this product in moderate temperatures. Avoid application in extreme heat or cold, and never in direct sunlight.
What is the best way to remove stubborn residue?
If residue is stubborn, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth with moderate pressure. For very stubborn spots, a quick detailer spray compatible with your paint finish can help lift the residue.
How often should I use the Performance Polish?
This depends on your desired finish and protection level. Many users apply it seasonally or before special events to maintain peak gloss and protection.
Troubleshooting
Polish streaking or not buffing off cleanly.
Ensure the product was allowed to haze sufficiently before buffing. If it still streaks, you may be applying too much product or buffing too soon. Try using a clean section of your microfiber cloth and buffing with lighter pressure.
Uneven finish or swirl marks appearing.
This can occur if the surface was not properly cleaned prior to application or if the polishing pad is contaminated. Ensure the surface is free of grit. Use a clean polishing pad and clean microfiber cloths, and ensure you are working in a shaded area.
Product appears difficult to spread.
Ensure you are applying it generously enough onto the polishing pad. If the pad is too dry, the product might spread unevenly. A slightly damp pad can sometimes help with initial spreadability, but ensure the car's surface is dry.
