car polish

Vehicle surface treatment

Car polish is a product applied to a vehicle's exterior to restore shine, remove minor scratches, or prepare the surface for waxing.

Polish contains mild abrasives that smooth imperfections in the paint: I used car polish to buff out the scuff marks.

Often confused with car wax, which protects rather than corrects.
