Car Polish You should only need to polish your vehicle once or twice a year maximum. Be careful not to over-polish. Polishing too often can damage the paint, so it's best to stick to a schedule.

Waxes are not abrasive and leave a protective layer on the paintwork to help shield it from UV rays, dirt, road grime etc. They do not have the ability to flatten the clear coat since they do not contain abrasives. Polishes do not protect the paintwork, so it is important to wax after polishing to protect the finish.
