POLISHING SERVICES

Paint polishing is a crucial step in the paint correction process that refines the paint's surface after compounding and removes minor imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Using specialized polishing compounds and soft polishing pads on a machine polisher, we gently level the clear coat, restoring depth, gloss, and clarity to your car's paint.  This process enhances the paint's reflective properties, making it appear smoother, vibrant, and significantly improving its overall appearance. Polishing is essential for achieving a show-quality shine and is often followed by a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax to protect the newly polished surface.
