ENHANCEMENT

About this Service

​

Vehicle paintwork often dulls overtime and our paint enhancement addresses dull and tired paintwork using a one step machine polish. This gives the paintwork a new lease of life improving gloss and clarity while removing paint dullness and very light scratches and swirl marks.

 

Typically up to a 70% boost in gloss can be achieved depending on original paintwork condition. 

We machine polish with a system tailored to your cars paint type and condition to bring out the best outcome whether that be a need for a greater defect removal or a higher demand in gloss and clarity.  We take paint depth readings on all panels before any polishing begins, identifying any repainted panels and any hidden surprises.

​

A coating of your choice is then applied.

​

Please refer to our FAQ's page for any information you require on coating types and different levels of machine polishing work ​​​​​ ​​
