How can you make your own car wax polish?In: Science, Paint Jobs |
[Edit] |
Fact: Carnauba wax and Turpentine, some companies also add a polyformer to help fill scratches.
Carnauba wax comes from a tree, which is then processed. Not all companies use solvents like Turpentine either. One company is Zymol, they use all natural ingredients.
The question here is actually two questions in one.
Wax - is a protective layer that you apply to protect your paint.
Polish - is a cleaning "compound" that helps to remove impurities from the paint to prepare it for waxing/sealing.
They are both very different and should not be confused. Although in the retail industry they have mixed them up greatly in their advertising as having a wax that polishes too. Remembering what I explained earlier helps you to realize that you can't have both at the same time as they both do two seperate jobs.
