Ever polished just one section of car?

[CleanIT]

When I took delivery of my car in mid/late November, the paint was in relatively good shape all things considered. However, the hood had some deeper scratches that are noticeable. I was considering polishing the just the hood soon and letting the rest of the car be for the time being. I'd rather not polish the car this soon being it is so new. I can't see anything wrong with doing this other than only one part of the car will have a nicer finish than the rest.

Yes a few times as needed

I have done a few spot polishes in the past for various reasons, and it has resulted in those areas looking better than the area around it.

In your case, it wouldn't hurt the vehicle if you correct the issues and then give the entire car a "once over" with a light polish and a soft pad. You will most likely see a noticeable improvement in the gloss.

Yup, mostly the front end….. after a “debug”….

Hey nothing wrong with spot polishing! I offer it as a stand alone service where I polish just one panel for 50 bucks. It's actually made me a good amount of money! if the rest of the paint is in bad condition you could try the 3D 505 AAT Correction Glaze to blend the rest of the panels if they are willing to pay or if you desire on your personal vehicle.. If the rest of the paint is not that bad you could use the 3D Speed or BF One Step to blend. Customers are usually just really happy that I could correct the one spot they are really concerned with, and generally they dont seem to mind the condition of the rest of the vehicle.

You can also use your choice of 3D ONE and desired pad to polish and blend before applying some type of coating.

I don't know if it's good or bad but I've had a few minor things show up on my fairly new paint (2020) and can get away with some hand polishing using a compound. The imperfections are those you can see only in the right lighting but pulling out the polisher didn't feel necessary. I found something like the Polishing Pal to be pretty helpful to at least make the light imperfections disappear. I cover it back up with some protection and call it a day.

I will polish any section that looks bad. Usually it's the hood or the trunk. But not very often.

I polished the tailgate of a Contractors work truck at my house last fall. Pretty hunters green paint. It had some spots that look like they removed badging with a brillo pad. With some Menz 400 and 3500, Collonite 476 and about 20 minutes miracle completed. Too bad I didn't get any follow on work.

I re-polished my trunk lid when I realized I was using way too low of a speed on my PC the first time *facepalm*

Yes i have polished hoods only. especially on black vehicles. I normally detail daily drivers so many have scratches. I find if you do not hit the fenders you do not notice the difference. good luck
