When a car is painted in the factory, in most cases, it’s been painted in a contamination-free environment so really there’s no need to polish it, because it should be defect-free. Therefore, most car manufacturers don’t bother to go the extra mile to make it look even better by polishing it because for them it’s an unnecessary and time-consuming step. Therefore, the paint that’s on the car from the factory is more or less “naked” with no protection. However, some manufacturers do polish their cars after being painted, but in our experience, there’s not a single manufacturer out there that will polish the paint even close to our standards. Usually if the car has been polished, it’s full of holograms and other defects, because simply put: The manufacturer will not invest so much money to have the cars professionally polished, no matter the price of the car, because for them it’s an unnecessary expense both time and money-wise. Even if it has been polished, it’s still “naked” with no protection. Around 90% of the polishing compounds on the market contain some sort of wax, but the function of this wax is not to protect, but rather to act as a cooling and absorbing agent during the polishing process. So when a car is polished, it does leave a microscopic layer of wax on the paint, but being that it lacks certain polymers and other ingredients which can be found in a quality hand wax, the bond to the paint is very weak and will usually be removed after just a couple of washes, hence leaving the paint “naked” again. When the paint is “naked” its subject to a myriad of contaminants that could damage it like acid rain, industrial fallout, bird droppings, road grime and much, much more. With that being said, you can see why the best time to have your vehicle treated is right when it comes off the showroom floor!
