Gloss • swirl reduction • paint correction
Machine polishing brings tired paint back to life.
Over time, poor washing, road grime and daily use leave paintwork looking dull and covered in swirl marks. Machine polishing improves the finish by carefully refining the clear coat to restore gloss, depth and clarity.
Why it matters
Summer shows everything.
Swirls and haze are most visible in direct sun. A machine polish helps the paint look sharper, glossier and more premium before protection is applied.

Stage 2 Correct
Visible swirls, wash marks and tired paint
A stronger correction process for paintwork with more obvious defects. This is the sweet spot for most cars that have never been polished properly.

Stage 3 Restore
Heavily marked or neglected paint
A heavier restoration approach for paintwork with deeper swirls, oxidation, heavier defects or years of poor washing. This is a more involved detail.
