Polishing is the process of cutting down the clear coat of a paint and making it clear of any swirl marks, stains, irregular finishes and light scratches. How much of these defects can be cleared depends on the condition of the clear coat and the damage on the clear coat. One good example regarding scratches is, if you can run your finger nail over a scratch and feel that there is a groove and depth to the damage, that s a clear sign that it needs to be resprayed. Polishing is not an alternative for respray.
