Polishing doll surfaces requires a careful, gentle approach to avoid micro-scratches or altering texture. Begin with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and surface residues. Use only a silicone-safe polish or conditioner if recommended for your doll’s material; avoid harsh abrasives, waxes, or solvent-based products that can degrade finishes. Test any product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface. If the product is approved for your material, apply a light, circular motion with minimal pressure and buff to a subtle shine.

Be mindful of joints, facial features, and textured areas where product buildup can distort detail. Use a separate, clean cloth for these sensitive zones and limit application time to avoid saturation. For stubborn marks, a higher-quality, silicone-safe cleaner may help; follow the manufacturer’s guidance. Always finish with a soft wipe to ensure no residue remains. Regular, gentle maintenance will preserve the doll’s luster while protecting its texture and color, ensuring the surface remains smooth and scratch-free over time.
