DIY Car Polish

Polishing your car is one way to keep it looking beautiful and new.

If you take pride in your vehicle, then you keep it as clean as you possibly can. On beautiful days, you may wish to go outside and wash and polish your car yourself, instead of paying someone else to do it. Do it yourself car polishing can be an easy and rewarding experience. It creates a beautiful shine that keeps your car looking new and fresh.

Things You'll Need

• Water hose
• Bucket of soapy water
• Car wash mitt or towel
• Large soft towel
• Small, soft cloth towel
• Your choice of car polish with sealant

Instructions

1. Wash and dry your car completely. You should wash the car with much care and detail in order to get it as clean as possible. Make sure that you remove any dirt or debris that is caked on the car. Dry your vehicle with a soft, large towel. Make sure that it is completely dry before adding any polish.

2. Read the instructions on your car polish before you apply any to your car. Most polishes have the same instructions, but it is always important to double check. Apply the polish to the car one section at a time.

3. Apply a straight line of car polish to one section of the car and use the small, soft cloth to rub in the polish on that section. Rub the polish into the car using small, circular motions until it has been completely absorbed. Repeat this process until each and every section of the car has been polished and the job is complete.

Tips & Warnings

• Never wax your car until after you have polished it.
