Frequently asked questions
Questions about RIWAX
How are Riwax Cut, Polish and Finish used in the polishing process?
Cut is intended for stronger correction, Polish for further refinement and Finish for the final gloss stage. The stages required are determined by paint condition, pad combination and a controlled test area.
How is Riwax wheel cleaner selected safely?
AVP establishes the wheel material, coating, temperature and type of contamination before use. Product concentration and dwell time remain controlled and the surface is rinsed completely.
What role does a Riwax shampoo have in commercial washing?
It supports gentle contact washing with sufficient lubrication and repeatable dilution. AVP accounts for water, the machine or hand-wash process and existing paint protection so unnecessary residue is not left behind.
What matters when using Riwax interior cleaners?
Application depends on whether the surface is plastic, textile, leather or a sensitive display. AVP controls moisture and chemistry for the material, tests first when uncertain and leaves an even finish.
Can Riwax polishes be combined with other pads or sealants?
Yes, when pad, machine and polish produce the intended result in a test spot and residue is removed as required by the following protection. The technical combination is verified in the process rather than approved broadly by brand.
