Polishing removes a micro-layer of paint to a level surface, leaving the paint and its pores relatively exposed.

Without an immediate protective layer, the paint becomes vulnerable to industrial fallout and acidic pollutants, which accelerate oxidation. This also increases the risk of water spotting and contaminant buildup.

While wax provides a temporary barrier for gloss and water repellency, a coating offers a durable, hardened layer that significantly boosts UV and stain resistance.

ALOMAX's water-based polishing compounds (S20 & S18) are silicone and filler-free. After polishing, you can apply ALOMAX Quartz Coating directly—eliminating the degreasing step, saving time without compromising adhesion.

Ultimately, polishing restores the paint' s clarity, while the coating enhances protection and ensures long-lasting results.
