Polishing Compounds
A polish is designed to remove defects, whether it be in the form of water marks, acid-rain etch, fine scratches or swirl marks. With modern cars, a car polish doesn't damage clearcoat. Polishing compounds have the ability to leave a shining and smoothing effect on the paint along with removing light scratches from the paint.
