Perfect Car Polish
Every car enthusiast and professional detailer dreams of achieving that perfect, swirl-free shine. The secret lies not only in your technique but also in the products you use. Ethos Perfect Polish is engineered specifically to deliver outstanding results with minimal effort. This guide will walk you through exactly how to achieve professional-level finishes at home.
What Makes Perfect Polish Unique?
Ethos Perfect Polish isn’t just another detailing product. Unlike traditional polishes, it’s a water-based, silicone-free formulation with advanced diminishing abrasives. This means:
-
True Correction: No fillers, no masking. The polish genuinely removes imperfections, revealing your paint’s true finish.
-
Long Working Time: It stays workable longer, which helps reduce dust and ensures a smooth application.
-
Versatile Application: Effective with dual-action or rotary polishers using foam or microfiber pads, suitable for OEM or refinished paint surfaces.
Detailed Step-by-Step Guide to Using Ethos Perfect Polish
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Before polishing, thoroughly wash your vehicle with a quality car shampoo (like Ethos Pure Shampoo). Dry completely, then use a fallout remover, clay bar or clay mitt your paint to remove embedded contaminants, ensuring the surface is smooth and clean.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Pad and Polisher
Your pad choice is critical:
-
HDO Orange Foam Pad: Ideal for most paint types; balances correction and gloss.
-
Microfiber Finishing Pad: Best for soft paints or to increase cut slightly.
Pair pads with a reliable DA polisher for beginners or rotary polisher if you’re more experienced.
Step 3: Polish Application Technique
-
Prime your pad initially with four dime-sized dots of Perfect Polish.
-
Spread product evenly over a 2' x 2' section before starting the machine, preventing product sling.
-
Begin polishing at medium speed (DA: Speed 4-5, Rotary: ~1,200 RPM), applying moderate, even pressure.
-
Gradually lighten pressure during subsequent passes to refine and finish the area.
-
Perform a final pass with minimal pressure, ensuring maximum clarity and gloss.
Step 4: Inspect and Wipe Down
After polishing, use high-quality microfiber towels to wipe the surface clean. Always inspect under quality lighting to ensure no spots or defects remain. Repeat as necessary.
Step 5: Protection and Maintenance
Post-polish, it’s ideal to protect your newly perfected paint. Apply Ethos Graphene or Ceramic coating for long-term durability and unmatched shine. Regular maintenance with Ethos Detail Spray or Defy Waterless Wash keeps surfaces pristine.
Expert Tips for Perfect Polish

Always work in a cool, shaded environment.

Regularly clean or swap polishing pads to avoid buildup and uneven finishes.

Pair with Pure Cut compound for heavier imperfections and a true two-step process.
