Are You Polishing Your Car WRONG? | Shine School

Paint correction can feel confusing, but choosing the right compound or polish depends on your paint's condition. In this video, Joey breaks down what paint correction actually does, how scratches and swirl marks live in your clear coat, and how to decide between a one-step, two-step, or three-step correction. You'll learn when to use InSynchro Scratch & Swirl Remover, when to step up to C4 and P4, and when heavy paint damage calls for the full InSynchro V41, V43, and V45 system. We also cover dual-action vs rotary polishers, cutting pads vs polishing pads, proper surface prep, pad priming, crosshatch polishing, and what to do after the correction is complete. If your paint has swirls, oxidation, water spots, or scratches, this guide will help you choose the right correction path for a cleaner, glossier finish.
