Pristine Polish
Cut swirls. Reveal gloss. A one-step polish that removes oxidation, hazing, and swirl marks — and leaves a mirror finish ready to protect.
What is APEX Pristine Polish?
APEX Pristine Polish is a one-step, professional-grade polish that corrects paint defects and finishes to a high gloss in a single product. It removes the oxidation, staining, hazing, and swirl marks that dull a finish — and can take out up to 1,000-grit sanding scratches.
The abrasives are designed to break down with heat as you work: they cut aggressively at first to remove defects, then refine into a finishing polish for clarity — no second product needed. The result is a reflective surface that's ready to receive a coating, sealant, or wax. Safe on clear coat, single stage, and lacquer; body-shop safe and VOC compliant.

Why it works
Most paint doesn't need new paint — it needs correction. Swirls, oxidation, and haze scatter light and make a finish look tired. Polishing levels them so light reflects cleanly again.
Traditionally that meant a compound, then a polish, then a finishing pass. A true one-step like this does the cutting and the refining in a single product as the abrasives break down.
What it works on
Clear coat, single stage, and lacquer paints. Use a machine with a polishing or finishing pad for the best correction and gloss.
How to use
1. Start with clean, dry, decontaminated paint.
2. Apply a few dots of polish to a polishing or finishing pad.
3. Work a small section by machine. When the polish turns from white to clear, the abrasives have broken down — stop and wipe.
4. Wipe the residue, inspect, and protect with a coating, sealant, or wax.
Polishing tips
Watch for white-to-clear. As you work a section, the polish turns from white to clear once the abrasives break down — that's the cue to stop, wipe, and inspect.
Small sections. Work roughly 2x2 ft at a time so the polish stays workable and you keep control.
Match the pad to the goal. A polishing pad for more correction, a finishing pad for maximum gloss.
Always protect after. Bare, freshly polished paint should be sealed with a coating, sealant, or wax.

Get the most from it
Pristine Polish is built for machine use with a polishing or finishing pad. Work clean, decontaminated paint in small sections, and follow with a coating, sealant, or wax to protect the freshly corrected finish. It's haze-free and low-dust, so inspection between sections is quick.
