What a machine polish does

Paint loses its shine as dirt, traffic film and sunlight roughen the surface. A machine polisher smooths that surface so light bounces back evenly, and the colour looks deeper and wetter. A cut and polish begins with a firmer first pass to level heavier marking, then a finishing pass brings up the shine. Which one your car needs depends on how worn the paint is.

Car polishing or paint correction?

They use the same machine, but the aim differs. Your photos usually show which suits your car.

When polishing helps

Polishing cannot fill a scratch that has gone through the paint. Those need a scratch repair or paint repair.
  • Paint that looks flat even straight after a wash
  • A hazy film that washing won't shift
  • Older paint that has lost its depth of colour
  • A car about to be sold, photographed or handed back
  • Panels beside a repair that need to match in shine

What affects the job

Condition of the paint

Lightly dulled paint needs less work than paint with years of marking.

More panels mean more time, and a large SUV takes longer than a small hatchback.

Colour

Dark colours show every mark, so they are worked more thoroughly.

Previous paintwork

Recently painted panels need time to harden first, so tell us if any were resprayed.
