mark61 Member 80 Member For: 18y 5m 2d Posted 04/12/06 10:05 AM Author Share Posted 04/12/06 10:05 AM Thanks Guys I was wondering if the paint was to young to put a polish on. Has any one heard of this before. I am getting a heap of TAR on the back tailgate and am having a bitch of a time getting it off and was thinking that a polish would make it easier to clean. Also living a block away from the beach with no garage makes me think that a polish and wax would be in order. Also scared of putting swirls in the paint from the polishing process.

Why would they be less likely to get swirls than me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they will probaly stick on 3 to 4 coats of wax to keep it that way. These guys know paint. If you do want to push on by yourself then stick with the wax.

Over time, pressure washing can cause crazing and eventually flaking of the paint.He said modern paints (especially dark colours) are relatively soft and should be always washed by hand.
