    Washing after polishing

    Does anyone wash after polishing to get off the residue?

    If by residue you mean dust then yes. You do wipe the polish off as you go, right?

    Re: Washing after polishing

    I don't wash after polishing because it doesnt leave anything behind but I will always wash after a good compounding. Compound is really dirty work and the dust gets into all the cracks and crevices. I hope somebody out there is working on a non-dusting compound with great cutting abilities.

    Re: Washing after polishing

    I usually wash after I polish - just to get the dust and any spots I didn't wipe down well - now I am wondering if by washing I may be introducing some minor scratches back in before waxing - I usually just use wax no sealants.

    Re: Washing after polishing

    I wash after I polish/compound...

    I do so to remove any traces of dust and pesky residual oils left over from the polish...

    If your wash technique is solid you should not be creating swirls....

    I always give the car a thorough wash before applying LSP.
