16 best car polishes

Car polish is designed to work with the body part, regardless of the color of the paint. It is applied very easily by conventional spraying. At the same time, work on applying Kangaroo Higlo Wax can be performed immediately after washing - the presence of a few drops of water is not critical and will not lead to the appearance of any marks on the surface of the body. It is not recommended to apply the product immediately to the entire car - in this case there is a high probability that you will not have time to wipe the entire surface to be treated. It is better to carry out this procedure by applying the liquid alternately to separate areas.

After spraying the polish, wipe the area with a clean cloth in vigorous circular motions. Regular use of Kangaroo Higlo Wax will remove minor scratches from the bodywork, and the car will look perfect again. When processing, care should be taken to prevent the substance from getting on glass, headlights, plastic interior elements, and even more so on the skin or eyes - in this case, they should be washed immediately with water (hands can be washed with soap). In winter, it is better to lay out the polish from the trunk - after freezing, it does not make sense to use it.

Colorless polish, supplemented with polytetrafluoroethylene particles (Teflon), which create a reliable water and dirt-repellent film on the entire surface of the body. According to the manufacturers, such a film lasts for 12 months, protecting the paintwork from minor and especially stubborn dirt. But in reality (at least in Russian realities), the protective layer lasts for two to three months, after which the polish should be applied again. Another advantage of the Teflon additive is good adhesion to the paintwork. This makes the polishing process easier and does not require much effort.

Advantages:

• the presence of Teflon particles in the composition, which facilitate spraying and settling on the body coating;
• reliable protective formula that protects the car body even from stubborn dirt;
• low price and optimal volume (0.5 liters).

Flaws:

• Teflon coating, designed for 12 months of body protection, loses its resistance after two to three months.

One of the best body polishes according to numerous users. This is an indisputable fact, since German manufacturers know a lot about quality. Despite the small volume (which is perhaps the only drawback of the polish), the composition is highly effective, so one polishing can cost a small amount of the product. The uniqueness of LIQUI MOLY Universal Politur 7647 lies in the presence of a special “intelligent” abrasive that does not affect the paintwork of the body, but effectively removes plaque, dust and especially persistent dirt. The cost of the polish fully justifies the quality and is optimal for consumers.

Advantages:

• the presence of abrasive particles in the composition that do not harm the paintwork of the body;
• the effectiveness of the composition and, as a result, the low consumption of the pasty agent;
• optimal cost;
• popularity with users.

Flaws:

• small amount of funds - only 0.25 liters.

Rated by many users as the best car body care product. Indeed, Doctor Wax DW8275 has quite a lot of so-called "additional functions" in its arsenal. It not only adds shine to the paintwork, but also has good washing functions: even particularly resistant types of dirt, as well as aggressive substances that accumulate in paint microcracks and cause corrosion processes, can be eliminated. Thanks to the polish, you can smooth out small coating defects, remove shallow but noticeable scratches, circular marks and restore the original body color.It copes a little worse with dirt and polishing of chrome surfaces, but this is rather a pleasant addition than a mandatory criterion.

Advantages:

• does an excellent job of removing scratches;
• good washing effect - copes with particularly stubborn dirt and creates a protective wax-based dirt-repellent film;
• low consumption due to the high efficiency of the composition;
• the price fully corresponds to the high quality.

Flaws:

• not detected.

Budget polish, which has gained great popularity among users as a budget cleanser. Actually, it carries only one cleansing function. Masking small scratches is not about him. However, when applied to the panel, it gives a pleasant and even matte effect, and not the notorious oily sheen and glare characteristic of many inexpensive polishes. Thanks to the antistatic effect, the freshly applied composition repels dust, but after a week everything returns to normal. Therefore, despite the 600 milliliters of polish in the bottle, the product is consumed quite quickly.

Advantages:

• matte finish does not give a greasy shine;
• after processing, the panels and surfaces do not glare in the sun;
• low price for 600 milliliters of funds;
• antistatic effect prevents dust from settling on treated surfaces.

Flaws:

• the rapid loss of quality of the applied polish entails its high consumption;
• does not cover minor scratches.

An inexpensive scented car panel polish that does the job well. Thanks to its polymer formula, it is able to clean and shine not only plastic, but also rubber, vinyl and leather elements. In addition, the polymer film performs another function - it protects interior items from damaging ultraviolet radiation, fading and the formation of microcracks. Alas, the polish is powerless against settling and “sticking” of dust. The fact is that even after wiping with a rag, the surfaces remain slippery (therefore, it is not recommended to apply polish on the steering wheel and handbrake before trips) and attract dust.

Advantages:

• low cost;
• good protection of surfaces from fading and cracking;
• an abundance of aromatic options.

Flaws:

• after applying the polish, the interior elements become slippery and attract dust for some time.

One of the best plastic polishes in our ranking takes its rightful place - only the price did not allow Willson WS to lead the category. Processing headlights and interior trim parts will prevent the formation of haze and the appearance of yellowness.This effect is achieved due to the presence of ultraviolet blockers in the composition of the polish.

At the same time, Willson WS is able to restore the previous transparency to the headlights, giving the surface the same shine as a new car, and the plastic in the cabin will be able to hide minor defects. At the same time, you should not particularly hope for a miracle - this polish is not able to fix deep scratches and scuffs. After treatment, a protective layer appears on the surface, which can be appreciated when caught in the rain - the headlights will remain spotlessly clean.

Foam polish for the car dashboard, which performs the function of deep cleaning. Hi-Gear Dashboard Cleaner Professional Line penetrates the very texture of the material, pushing dirt out for easy removal. In this way, a complete renewal of panels, rubber or vinyl elements is achieved. After drying, a synthetic polymer film forms on the surfaces, which acts as a barrier that prevents dust and dirt from settling, and also does not transmit ultraviolet rays. Does not leave oily streaks and oily sheen, as is the case with cheaper polishes. The aroma of the product is pleasant, unobtrusive for a comfortable stay in the car.

Advantages:

• optimal cost combined with excellent quality;
• foam formula promotes deep cleansing of surfaces from dust and dirt;
• the formation of a polymer film that protects the panels from ultraviolet exposure and dust settling.

Flaws:

• not identified.

In its composition, RUNWAY RW2502 is able to compete with recognized leaders in the field of automotive polishes. This product is based on refined carnauba wax and Teflon particles, which increase the stability of the polish and allow it to last longer. According to experts, an inexpensive polish effectively cleans and acts as a protector of paint and chrome coatings. And although the first ones are not very good at cleaning and protecting, things are great with chrome surfaces. As a result, RUNWAY RW2502 is one of the best polishes in its class, both in terms of price and quality.

Advantages:

• low price;
• wax and teflon are included in the composition, providing reliable protection of the surfaces to be coated;

A very serious polishing agent designed specifically for cleaning unpainted metal surfaces. It is unpainted, since the abrasive contained in the polish can cause serious damage to the paintwork of the car.SONAX is designed for polishing aluminium, brass, copper and chrome car parts. It "rips off" layers of pollution or corrosion, giving a pristine shine and reliably protects the surface for a long time, since the consumption of paste (and this is paste) is small due to the extreme effectiveness of the action. It costs one tube of polish a little expensive, and this is perhaps the only serious drawback.

Advantages:

• excellent quality of polishing of metal surfaces;
• effective removal of dirt stains and traces of corrosion, giving the elements their original appearance;
• creation of a protective film that lasts for a long period of time;
• minimum consumption of paste.

Flaws:

The entire line of polishes from the Doctor Wax brand is in consistently high demand among users, and DW 8317 is no exception. The composition of the product contains a complex of synthetic surfactants, passivation components, polishing abrasive paste and additional polymer elements. Thanks to this, "wax" easily and quickly removes oxides from the surfaces of chrome parts, such as moldings, wheels, bumper elements and radiator grilles. According to users, when it comes into contact with the paintwork of the body, the polish can cause a darkening of the contact point, descent of varnish and paint, as well as minor abrasions if it is carelessly erased.

Advantages:

• low cost with optimal quality of the product;
• the presence in the composition of detergent chemical additives (aggressive in relation to paint and varnish coatings);
• easy removal of oxides and rust from chrome-plated surfaces of car elements;
• reduced product consumption due to high efficiency of action.

Flaws:

This tool is the most expensive in the category of automotive polishes for chrome surfaces, but the effect that is achieved with Liqui Moli Chrom Glanz-Creme is definitely worth it. As a rule, a product from a famous German brand is bought after unsuccessful attempts to restore chrome with cheaper polishes. For this reason, it can be argued that this product saves its owner time and, of course, money.

Stubborn stains and streaks, as well as turbidity centers literally dissolve before our eyes. Rust is removed without a trace. Shine is restored to the state of a new car. After processing, a protective film is formed on the surface of the part, providing a preservation effect. Ultraviolet and aggressive manifestations of the environment will try to overcome this barrier for quite some time. If you apply the polish on a regular basis, the protection will last until the owner sells his car.

The tool is quite inexpensive, but effective. The polish will not remove large chips and deep scratches - there are leaders in the category for this, but it can renew car glass, hide small and minor potholes from grains of sand and dirt. It is best to treat the windshield after washing - before applying Glass Compound Z, the surface must be degreased to the point where the napkin does not start to emit a characteristic creak when wiped.

After that, spray the polish in a circular motion and wait 15 minutes. As a result of a chemical reaction, the substance will change color and turn from a transparent liquid into a white-dirty, slightly foamy substance. Everything is washed off with water, a little polish is applied to the sponge that comes with the kit, and rubbing of the surface begins in a circular motion (medium force pressure). It is enough to spend 20 minutes on the windshield, then wash and dry everything again. The result will be noticeable immediately, but many car owners do this procedure twice in a row - it’s more reliable.

The unique composition based on polymers and special solvents significantly improves the performance of Hi-Gear HG5640 automotive polish, especially when compared to silicone-based counterparts. Having processed pre-cleaned glass with this tool, the owner will receive a perfectly smooth surface - the polymer composition cleans and fills all existing microcracks.

In addition, the coating has the effect of "anti-rain", acting for a rather long period of time.The polymerized film has the best water repellent properties, maintaining excellent visibility, even when driving in a downpour with idle wipers. It also creates additional protection for the windshield from the aggressive effects of the environment, which prolongs its service life.

The German company produces a quality product for car glass polishing. Scratches and small chips spoil not only the appearance, but also reduce transparency and may obstruct the view due to a different angle of refraction of the sun's rays. SONAX 273141 is the perfect solution to this problem. Designed specifically for this purpose, the reactive polish contains ceroxide. It is guaranteed to help get rid of scratches and chips, restoring 100% transparency and smoothness. At the same time, the polish easily removes various stains (chemical burns), which are not amenable to even strong cleaning agents.

No matter what surface is being processed, it is extremely important that it be glass. Headlights made of transparent plastic can only be damaged by SONAX 273141 car polish, so when using it yourself, the owner should be careful and follow all the manufacturer's recommendations. After polishing the windshield with this tool, it will again look like the car just left the factory assembly line yesterday.

Polishing paste Polarshine E3 based on cerium oxide, developed by Finnish specialists, has proven itself in the domestic market. It is able to remove all kinds of damage (chips) and scratches by filling potholes with a highly active polymer with perfect transparency. Suitable for both ordinary glass and tempered glass. This polish is used to carry out deep processing with a grinder with a felt disc.

Polarshine E3 paste is water-based and the tube must be shaken vigorously several times to mix before use, otherwise the process may take a long time. Subject to the rules of use, this polishing paste will return the car windshield to its original state for a long time.
