Flawless shine in a single pass: How to get the most out of your one-step polish
Looking to achieve impressive results with minimal effort? Then a one-step polish is exactly what you need. Whether you're a professional detailer, experienced paint corrector, or passionate car enthusiast – with the right product, the right pad, and the right technique, you can achieve a stunning finish in a single step.
Simplicity that delivers: The SWISSVAX Polish System
At SWISSVAX, we believe in clarity – not product overload. That’s why our system includes just:
- three high-performance polishes,
- and three perfectly matched polishing pads.
Less complexity, more efficiency – exactly what you need for daily use. All polishes are free from solvents and silicones, create zero dust, and allow for clean application with no need for extra wipe-downs. Whether using a rotary or dual-action machine – the system performs flawlessly on both.
Which combination for which result?
Depending on paint condition and desired outcome, we recommend the following pairings:
1. For one-step correction on moderate paint defects
Cleaner Fluid Professional Medium combined with the Medium Blue Pad or the Strong Grey Pad is perfect for removing moderate swirls, scratches and dullness in just one pass. The result? Noticeable correction with a uniform gloss – and no dusting.
2. For light enhancement or new cars
If you're preparing a new car for delivery or want to boost paint depth, choose Cleaner Fluid Regular with the Soft White Pad. This gentle combo refreshes gloss and removes light oxidation with minimal paint removal. Afterward, enhance gloss and protection with our SWISSVAX waxes.
3. Custom power blend
Want more flexibility? Experienced detailers often blend polishes – for example, 2 drops of Cleaner Fluid Professional Medium and 2 drops of Cleaner Fluid Strong on a Medium Pad. This combo gives you added cutting power exactly where needed, while still delivering a glossy finish.
One-step polishing made simple
- Start with a clean, cool paint surface – ideally in the shade.
- Apply 4–6 drops of polish to your pad – less is more!
- Spread the polish evenly over the surface before switching the machine on.
- Work in overlapping passes – slow, controlled movements with light pressure.
- Reduce pressure at the end for a brilliant finish.
- Remove any residue with a soft microfiber towel – and you’re done.
You’ll be amazed how quickly you can achieve a clean, refined finish – no need for complex systems or constant product switching.
Golden rule: One panel, one pad – for example, polish an entire door or fender with one pad, then swap it out for a fresh one.
Less is more – and just right
With the SWISSVAX polishing system, you get everything you need for efficient, professional one-step polishing. No product overload, no confusing abrasiveness scales. Just a smart system that delivers fast, clean, reliable results.
