Car Polish and Car Wax

At Overland Carwash we have recognized that many fellow Angelenos are still not fully familiar with the difference between Car Polish and Car Wax. The two are different and they also serve different end goals.

Car Wax is a good option when you want to seal and coat the finish of the car to protect it from the weather, dust, dirt and much more. Generally it's accepted that you get your car waxed a couple times per year or possibly seasonally.
Getting a Car Polish however consist of an abrasive paster/material being "polished" on the the surface of your vehicle. It is commonly used to treat the cars finish and bring back its shine and luster. This is accomplished by literally polishing the outer surface of the paint and rid it from contaminants that have baked into the cars finish.

While Car Wax can be compared to putting on sunblock to protect your skin, Car Polish is more similar to using an exfoliating glove. With proper information on the differences between Car Polish and Car Wax and by consulting your car wash expert at Overland Carwash you can now make a more educated choice for your car.

Is Car Polish the same as Wax?

Is Car Polish the same as Wax? - Simply put: No!
The reality is that there exists confusion today because the products themselves have changed over time and therefor so has the definition. This is mainly due to the evolution of the auto industry and the types of paint and finishes.
To simplify and clear up any possible confusion we have put together this short and easy guide to what Car Polish and Car Wax is today.

CAR POLISH
Car Polish on the other hand has the primary function of removing dirt, grease, scratches and other smaller imperfections from the surface and paint of your car. The present day car polish comes in liquid, solid or paste form and contains physical and/or chemical abrasive properties. This is to accomplish its task of properly cleaning the cars surface and even "removing" small scratches by filling them and reflecting light. Car Polish does NOT protect the cars paint and finish, that's the responsibility of the Car Wax.

CAR WAX
Car Wax serves the primary function of serving as a protective layer for your cars paint and finish. Car wax is usually either a liquid or a paste and majority of the present ones are synthetic and not actual wax based like back in the days. The secondary function is to give your car a shine by reducing the effects of the elements. Water for example will simply slide off a newly waxed car. To conclude, car wax should ONLY be applied after a car wash and if you are combining with a car polish, after the polishing.
