Best Automotive Detailing Products for Paint Restoration

Poorly maintained paint can give way to visible scratches, water damage, and even rust. If you want to avoid a complete repaint of your vehicle, you will want to address any existing damage and take preventative measures against future damage. When choosing between products to restore paint, we recommend Malco® Accelerate All in One Polish & Protection and Rejuvenator™ One-Step Auto Paint Restoration. These two one-step products are a simple and easy way to restore paint to its former luster. Now you get to choose which product is best for you.

Malco Accelerate All in One Polish & Protection

Malco Accelerate All in One Polish & Protection is a one-step polishing compound designed to remove light to medium paint defects while leaving behind a slick waxed surface with lasting protection for up to 90 days. This all-in-one polish will quickly and easily remove swirls, imperfections, and light scratches while leaving a deep glossy finish. Malco Accelerate features easy removal allowing a full vehicle application before wiping off. Malco Accelerate offers a long working window and a dust-free application. It can be applied by hand, or with an orbital or rotary buffer. How to Use:

  1. Ensure that the vehicle surface is clean, dry, and free of dust and dirt particles.
  2. SHAKE ACCELERATE WELL • Make sure to shake the bottle well, as the formula will separate.
  3. Apply four medium-sized drops of polish to the pad and work in a crosshatch pattern until the compound turns from opaque to clear in a 2’x2’ section.
    • To ensure maximum protection, allow the product to flash or dry on the surface before removing with a microfiber (the entire car may be polished before removal).
    • If using an orbital polisher, apply at a low-speed setting, then buff at setting 5-6. If using a rotary polisher, apply at the slowest speed and then buff between 1,200-1,400 RPM.
    • If working by hand, use a clean, soft applicator for best results.
    • Accelerate can also be applied to the pad or directly to a panel with a trigger sprayer.
  4. Allow it to dry to a haze before buffing off with a microfiber.
    • Accelerate can be left on the vehicle for an extended amount of time, allowing full correction before removal.
    • If it becomes too dry, dampen your microfiber to remove it. This water-based formula allows for easy cleanup.
Accelerate All in One Polish and Protection is recommended for swirls, imperfections, and light scratches. If medium or heavy correction is required, start with a more aggressive compound like EPIC® or Tru-Grit® Heavy-Duty Compound and use Accelerate to finish and protect.

Rejuvenator™ One-Step Auto Paint Restoration

Rejuvenator™ is the fast and easy way to bring gloss back to aged, oxidized or environmentally damaged automotive paint. This one-step compound and glaze is specially formulated with premium Carnauba wax to remove scratches and leave a beautiful, glossy surface protected by a high-performance polymer film. How To Use:

  1. Ensure that the vehicle surface is clean, dry, and free of dust and dirt particles.
  2. Apply a 1” dab of Rejuvenator for a 2’ x 2’ section and spread with a wool or foam pad.
  3. Buff at speed between 1400 - 2000 rpm. Work the buffer slowly from side to side and front to back until most of the product is gone, and gloss appears.
  4. Repeat as necessary until gloss appears.
Rejuvenator will provide a little more correction than Accelerate by removing medium sand scratches, light oxidation, hazing, and swirls. If medium or heavy correction is required, we recommend starting with a more aggressive compound like EPIC or Tru-Grit Heavy-Duty Compound, then finishing with Rejuvenator.

Overall, these easy-to-use one-step formulas are a simple way to restore paint. They both remove and correct hazing, swirls, light to moderate scratches, and light oxidation. If you need a product with more correction, Rejuvenator is the clear choice. If you want a product that is an all-in-one polish and protection product, Accelerate is a better alternative. Either way, your car will shine more than it did yesterday.
