What polishing removes, and what it does not

Which scratches on a car polishing removes

Polishing removes fine scratches from the clear coat. That is the transparent layer that protects the colour.

Check it yourself

  1. 1

    Wet the spot with water.

  2. 2

    Gently run a fingernail across the scratch.

  3. 3

    See what you get:

Can be polished

The fingernail does not catch.

Thin light lines up close in the paint of dark blue doors under the handle, visible in the sun reflection, the colour beneath intact

Such a scratch can usually be removed by polishing. When you wet it, it often shows less or disappears.

Needs paint

The fingernail catches, or the primer or metal shows under the colour.

Polishing does not bring back missing paint.

When the metal is exposed, it can start to rust.

The fingernail catches or you are not sure? Send a close-up photo of the scratch. We make the final assessment when we inspect the paint.

How we polish a car

  1. 1

    You send photos of the car

    Tell us whether the car was recently painted. We give you a rough price and agree the place and time.

  2. 2

    We inspect the paint and confirm the price. Work starts only when you agree.

    We inspect the paint under strong light. We tell you which scratches polishing removes, and which stay.

  3. 3

    We wash the paint and polish panel by panel

    We choose the compound for the paint. At the end we polish with a fine compound, so no swirls are left in the sun.

  4. 4

    We protect the paint

    We apply the protection agreed before the work: wax, a protective coating or ceramic.

How we look after your paint while polishing

Washing. We wash the car and remove deposits from the paint, so dust and sand under the machine do not make new scratches. We protect the glass, headlights, rubber and plastic from the compound.

We measure the paint thickness. From it we know how much we can polish.

We work out of the sun. In the heat the compound dries too fast and leaves streaks.

The paint does not overheat. The machine keeps moving, and we polish the corners by hand.

Which protection goes on after polishing

After polishing we always protect the paint. You choose the protection before the work, because the price depends on it.

How to keep the shine after polishing

Along with the protection on the paint, these habits also keep the shine:

  1. A pressure washer jet rinsing a dark blue car, water running down the doors

    1Before washing, rinse off the coarse dirt with water. Dirt under a sponge or brush scratches the paint like sandpaper.

  2. Bird droppings running down the grey door of a car

    2Remove bird droppings straight away and do not rub them dry. In the heat they sometimes etch the paint in just 10 to 20 minutes. Rinse them off with water, soften what remains with a wet cloth, then carefully remove it. Until you can remove them, leave the car in the shade.

Questions

How often may a car be polished?
No more than twice a year, and we check the paint before polishing. Every polish removes a little paint. How often also depends on whether the car is parked outside or in a garage, how old it is and what paint it has.
How much does car polishing cost?
It depends on the size of the car, the condition of the paint and the protection afterwards. We give a rough price when you send photos, and confirm it after inspecting the paint, before the work.
How long does car polishing take?
A one-step polish of the whole car takes at least 4 hours. How long your car stays with us, we will tell you after the inspection.
Can just one panel of the car be polished?
Yes, for example a door or the bonnet. We give a rough price when you send photos, and confirm it after inspecting the paint, before the work.
One-step or three-step polishing: which should I choose?
These are names for the number of polishing steps. We do not apply new layers of paint. We decide the number of steps when we inspect the paint.
When can I wash the car after polishing?
It depends on the protection we apply. When you collect the car, we tell you when you can wash it.
