Machine Polishing Services
Our machine polishing services are designed to restore clarity, gloss and depth to your vehicle’s paintwork, using professional techniques tailored to its condition. Whether you’re looking for a light gloss boost or more in-depth defect removal, we offer a structured approach to suit a range of needs.
We provide three levels of machine polishing:
Gloss Enhancement Polish – A light refinement polish focused on improving gloss and overall appearance. Ideal for new or low-mileage vehicles in good condition that want a visual lift without defect removal.
Stage 1 Correction Detail – A single-stage machine polish designed to remove up to 70%-80% of light to moderate defects, such as swirl marks, wash marring and light chemical staining, restoring a sharper, cleaner finish.
Stage 2 Paint Correction Detail – A multi-stage process involving a cutting stage followed by refinement, aimed at significantly reducing heavier defects and restoring maximum clarity, depth and gloss where paint correction is the priority. 95%+ Improvement
All machine polishing services include thorough preparation and safe working methods to ensure the best possible results.
Optional professional-grade ceramic coating upgrades are available across all stages to protect and preserve the finish once polishing is complete.

How It Works
Vehicle Inspection
We begin with a detailed inspection of your vehicle’s paintwork to identify swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other defects. This allows us to determine the correct level of correction needed for the best possible result.
Safe Wash & Decontamination
Before any polishing begins, the vehicle is thoroughly washed and decontaminated to remove dirt, tar, and bonded contaminants. This ensures the paint is perfectly clean and safe to work on.
Machine Polishing
Using professional machine polishing techniques, we carefully refine the paintwork in multiple stages. This process safely reduces defects while restoring gloss, clarity, and depth.
Finishing & Final Check
The paintwork is refined for a smooth, consistent finish and inspected to ensure it meets our standards before the vehicle is returned.
Why Machine Polishing Matters
Over time, a vehicle’s paintwork gradually loses its clarity and depth due to improper washing, environmental fallout and everyday wear. Swirl marks, light scratches and surface contamination scatter light across the paint, dulling the finish and hiding the true colour and gloss.
Machine polishing safely refines the paintwork by levelling these surface imperfections, restoring a smooth, uniform finish that reflects light correctly. The result is improved gloss, sharper reflections and a noticeably cleaner appearance that simply can’t be achieved through washing alone.
Beyond appearance, machine polishing creates the ideal foundation for protective coatings, helping them bond correctly and perform as intended. Whether the goal is a light enhancement or a more intensive correction, professional machine polishing plays a key role in preserving your vehicle’s condition and long-term value.
Gloss Enhancement Polish
Stage 1 - Correction Detail
Our stage 1 - Correction Detail is designed for vehicles that are generally in good condition but have lost that fresh, sharp finish over time.
Using a carefully selected single-stage machine polish, Removing up to 70% of defects we refine the paintwork to reduce light to moderate defects and restore depth, gloss and clarity to the finish.
If your car is relatively new but has seen a few hand washes or automated car washes, it’s common for swirl marks, light marring and chemical staining to appear — particularly on softer or more exposed areas.
This service is ideal for resetting the paintwork properly and dramatically improving the overall appearance. While this process delivers a strong visual improvement, deeper scratches and heavier defects may require a multi-stage paint correction to achieve full removal.
Stage 2 - Paint Correction Detail
This service is designed for owners who genuinely care about their vehicle, but whose paintwork has suffered over time from poor washing methods, automated car washes, or general wear and tear. If the finish has lost its sharpness and depth, this is the process that truly restores it.
While our Enhancement Detail significantly improves gloss and reduces lighter defects, a multi-stage paint correction is the correct solution where maximum defect removal and paint refinement are the priority.
The process begins with an intensive cutting stage, where specialist compounds and pad combinations are used to safely level the paint and remove deeper imperfections such as scratches, heavy swirl marks, etching from bird droppings, and chemical staining. Once the defects are removed, the vehicle is refined with a second polishing stage to restore clarity, eliminate any haze from the cutting process, and leave the paintwork crisp, smooth and highly reflective.
