Why black cars are the toughest to polish - and how to fix it

Eliminating Haze on Black Car Surfaces

Polishing black or dark-coloured cars can be one of the most frustrating and time-consuming parts of the post-paint process. A common issue faced by workshops is the haze that remains after using certain compounds. This residual haze is especially visible on dark surfaces, diminishing the depth and clarity of the finish.

Re-polishing multiple times to fix the haze not only delays production but also increases labour costs and consumes more material, ultimately hurting workshop profitability.

Removing Haze Starts Here

Polarshine 12 Black is developed specifically for these challenges. With the correct pad and polishing method, it removes every trace of haze, even on high-gloss black surfaces. 

For Deep, Dark Finishes

The compound enhances the depth and vibrancy of dark-coloured paints, revealing a high-gloss finish with rich, mirror-like clarity.

Flawless Results. Faster.

Achieve consistent, professional results in less time. Reduce labour, rework, and material waste, and increase workshop efficiency.

A better choice for you and the environment

Water-Based Polishes

All polishes that Mirka produces are water-based and produced in Finland. There are many benefits of choosing a water-based polishing compound.

  • Effective permanent removal of scratches - Water-based compounds remove scratches permanently. Solvent-based compounds can lose gloss after cleaning the surface with a degreaser and in some cases, they may only temporarily hide the scratches.
  • Safer for the operator - No hazardous chemicals  
  • Sustainable  - Water-based polishes are better for the environment and do not contain benzene.
