Abstract: Any symmetrization (Schwarz, Steiner, cap or increasing rearrangement) can be approximated by a universal sequence of polarizations which converges in $\mathrm{L}^p$ norm for any admissible function in $\mathrm{L}^p$ for $1 \le p < +\infty$ and uniformly for admissible continuous functions. A new Pólya-Szegö inequality is proved for the increasing rearrangement.
