What is polishing liquid?
Buffing fluid is generally used after waxing the car. It must be done for several purposes:
- Make surface defects less visible.
- Hide scratches and small dents.
- Reinforce paintwork after it has been weakened by acid rain.
- Giving the bodywork a beautiful shine.
However, you need to know how to use polishing liquid properly to avoid streaks and a clumsy finish.
What is polishing foam?
What is it?
Buffing foams are used in the bodywork polishing stage. They are used with a liquid polishing product. Foams are generally used with a machine that rotates the pad rapidly.
Foam polishes are essential. Towels cannot replace them. For example, if you apply a polishing liquid and rub it into the surface of the bodywork, the result is likely to be mediocre.

How do I use polishing foam?
Foam polishes are an intermediate surface between professionals and the car. They store the polish so that it can be distributed evenly over the car. They guarantee perfect polishing.
Why use foam polish?
To see the importance of foam polishes. There is an easy test to do:
- First, simply use a paper towel to rub the polish into a small section of the bodywork.
- Next, use a foam polish with the same product in a separate section.
- Finally, we recommend wiping the two with a microfibre towel and looking at the difference.
Guide to using polishing foam
This guide is about machine polishing:
Step 1: Attaching the polishing foam
Start by attaching the polishing foam to the machine. The make and model of the tool determine how it is attached.
In most cases, there is a support plate behind the polishing foam. It can be screwed into the tool so that it doesn't fly off when the machine is switched on. Check the polisher manual to see exactly how to proceed.
Other tools use Velcro to attach the pad to the machine.

Step 2: Priming the foam
Priming the polishing foam ensures that it is ready to start work.
Some experts will wring out and squeeze the polishing foam before putting it in the machine. But you need to know how to do it, because there's a risk of tearing it.

Stage 3: finishing the bonus
For this step, use your fingers to spread the liquid over the mousse. The aim is to completely cover the face of the polishing foam with as little product as possible. Add small drops gradually.
Step 4: Apply final drops to the foam
Three drops are recommended. Each drop should be about the size of a penny. These drops should be placed close to the edge of the polishing foam, as this is the first section to rest against the surface of the bodywork.
Step 5: Select a body section
Before putting the polisher on the surface of the car n you need to choose a section. It's best to start in a small section when you're a beginner. This minimises the damage that can be caused by incorrect handling. It's also an opportunity to learn how to use the polisher and polishing foam.
Step 6: Start the machine
For this stage, you need to take the machine and run it at its lowest speed setting. Then it has to start. This distributes the product evenly over the tool and the surface of the car.
Step 7: Spread the liquid over the entire desired section
This step underlines the importance of the idea of creating sections. While the machine is still running at the lowest speed setting, it should be moved slowly around the predefined section of the bodywork.
Step 8: Start polishing
When the polishing liquid starts to dispense, increase the speed of the machine. Ideally, you should opt for a medium or high speed.
When using an orbital polisher, make sure you don't stay on the same spot for too long. This could lead to melting of the topcoat and damage to the bodywork.
