Imperfections in the clear coat are somewhat inevitable from normal driving conditions which cause the vehicle to show its age. In order to sustain or restore bright and vibrant paint the clear coat protecting the paint must be free of embedded debris, swirls, scratches and oxidation. When light tries to pass through these surface imperfections it fragments in many different directions and reflects a dull shine. The micro abrasives that are used in the Menzerna Intensive Polish will buff your clear coat to help permanently remove surface imperfections. After using this polish the clear coat will now be more transparent, allowing more light to pass through, so you get the deepest reflection possible. This medium cutting polish is the step where you start to see serious results from your detailing efforts. Whenever you use a medium cutting polish we typically recommend you follow it up with a lighter polish to ensure there is no haze and the surface has optimal gloss.
