The everyday products described as polishes are regarded separately by specialists, who differentiate between so-called rubbing compounds and sealants/polishes. Rubbing compounds are products with a paste-to-liquid-like consistency and with a fairly high content of filling agents which create the abrasion, i.e. the abrasive effect. This abrasive effect is called the “abrasiveness of a product” or the “removal rate”. Just like other means of abrasion, rubbing compounds are classified into coarse, medium and microfine categories. Each SCHOLL rubbing compound is marked with a corresponding abrasion class, which we call “CUT”. Sealants often also called polishes are products which leave behind a protective layer on the treated surface by virtue of layer-building constituents such as wax, silicones and similar substances. Usually, these products do not contain any abrasive components and therefore no mechanical treatment of the surface is achieved. They are intended solely for the purpose of protecting the surface but are often also improperly used for covering damaged surfaces. All SCHOLL sealants are marked with a corresponding “WAX” classification for an easy reference of the product’s durability.
