Car Polish

Designed to leave your car’s bodywork smooth, glossy and streak-free, car polish is crucial for a high-quality finish to your bodywork.

As well as leaving a high shine, car polish can restore the colour and clarity of your paint finish and reduce permanent scratches and scuffs. Find polish suitable for your vehicle or explore our range of car cleaning accessories.

Why Use Car Polish?

Car polishes are formulated to level the surface of your paintwork, removing minor surface scratches and restoring shine. If your car’s paintwork is patchy or faded (sometimes the case in older vehicles), or you’ve noticed micro-abrasions from road debris, use a polish to smooth out any flaws.

Should I Wax Or Polish My Car?

Car polish and car wax complement one another; car polish is used to remove minor imperfections from your bodywork, while car wax seals the finish, effectively creating a barrier from debris and contaminants. For the best results, polish your car and then apply wax as the final stage of your car wax.

How To Use Car Polish

Polishing a car is similar to using furniture polishes around your home. Apply a small amount of polish to a microfibre applicator – never spray polish directly onto your car’s paintwork - and gently wipe the bodywork in small, circular motions. Buff the polish away with a clean microfibre cloth, making sure to remove any excess for a smooth, glossy finish. Follow with car wax to seal and protect your paintwork.
