To preserve the paintwork for a long time and keep it in good condition, it is necessary to select polishing agents that correspond to the condition of the coating.
In the first 2-3 months of car operation, the body is washed with cold clean water. For polishing a new coating (up to three years) use non-abrasive polishing agents for new coatings. When operating a car from three to five years, car polishes are used for weathered coatings, which have a small amount of abrasive substances in their composition. After five years of intensive use, car polishes are used for old coatings.
To prevent the polish from drying out, the body is polished in small areas. To eliminate minor defects in the paintwork, polishing pastes VAZ-1, VAZ-2 and polishing composition VAZ-03 are used. Polishing can be done manually or mechanically with flannel or zigek wheels.
Before use, the paste is stirred, when thickened, diluted with water. After polishing, wipe the surface with a clean flannel.
