"Paint polishing" also commonly known as single-stage polish is a process that restores dull paint, micro swirling, and scratches on your paint. There are many reasons why your car's paint loses its shine.
​
The first one is due to the sun's UV rays and Infrared radiation. These 2 will slowly break down your paint and make your once glossy paint dull. It's just the laws of nature. The longer your car gets exposed to the heat of the sun, the faster it fades. This is very common for cars that aren’t garage kept.
​
Another common culprit is micro-scratches that you'll see when light hits your paint. It will look like a spider web circulating around the light. These imperfections that refract light will give that dull look. One major reason micro-scratches occur is because of poor washing and wiping techniques. Most people wipe their paint with abrasive towels or even dirty towels.
​
This service helps you solve that problem. Using our polishing machine, compounds, knowledge and proper techniques, we can bring back your paint's gloss and slickness. A polish can also eliminate 50-60% of the micro scratches as a by-product so you can expect your paint to be shiny once again!
