To preserve the leveled finish, you must use a pH-neutral lubricant and the "two-bucket" method with high-GSM microfiber mitts; this minimizes physical friction and prevents the reintroduction of the swirl marks we’ve just removed.
While it will eliminate swirl marks and light surface scratches, deep gauges that have bypassed the clear coat may remain; we aim for the highest level of improvement while prioritizing your paint’s long-term health without damaging it.
Highly recommended. Since
ceramic coatings are semi-permanent and transparent, they will "lock in" any existing scratches or dullness, making it vital to perfect the surface first.
Compounds use larger, diminishing abrasives to "level" the surface and remove heavy defects, while polishes use finer particulates to remove the micro-marring left by compounding, resulting in high-gloss clarity.
