Best for
Older cars with swirl marks, water spots, oxidation, or light scratches. Pretty much required before applying a ceramic coating.
How I do it.
Full Wash & Decon
I start with a complete decontamination so I'm polishing clean paint, not dirty paint.
Paint Inspection
Paint thickness and defect severity assessed under bright lighting.
Test Spot
I polish a test panel to dial in the right combination of pad, compound, and polisher speed for your paint.
Polish Stage
Single-stage polish removes light defects and brings up the gloss. Heavier correction available on quote for badly weathered paint.
Wipe Down
Surface wiped with panel prep to inspect the result and remove polish residue.
Protection
Sealant, wax, or ceramic prep to lock in the corrected finish.
