Different types of polishing compounds for detailing

The Different Types of Polishing Compounds:

There are several different types of polishing compounds that are used for polishing car paint, including:

1. Abrasive compounds: These compounds use abrasive particles, such as aluminum oxide or silicone carbide, to remove surface imperfections and scratches from the paint.

2. Non-abrasive compounds: These compounds use polishing agents, such as oils and waxes, to enhance the shine of the paint without removing material.

3. All-in-one compounds: These compounds are a combination of abrasive and non-abrasive compounds, and are designed to both remove imperfections and enhance the shine of the paint.

4. rubbing compounds: Heavier duty polishing, it's a bit more abrasive compound and it's typically used to remove more severe oxidation, water spots and stains, heavy swirl marks and other types of defects, that can't be removed by the regular polishing compounds.

here are some examples of products for each type of polishing compound:

1. Abrasive compounds: -Griot's Garage 10862 Complete Compound -Oberk Supreme Cut Compound

It's important to note that the type of polishing compound that is used will depend on the condition of the paint and the desired result. It's recommend to always test the compound on a small inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire car to ensure you are getting the desired result.
