The Polish Most Paint Needs

A one-step polish is a single machine pass that removes light swirls, haze and oxidation and leaves the paint noticeably glossier and clearer. Deeper defects are paint correction, a different job, quoted after we've seen the paint.

Polished paint is bare paint, so it's sealed the same day with a 6-month sealant. The same polish is already part of Deluxe Detail and both ceramic packages.

What's Included in Every Paint Enhancement

Paint can't be polished until it's washed and decontaminated, so the full exterior detail comes first.

1-2 Hours Depending on Severity and Size

Signature Exterior

  • Luxurious Foam Bath
  • Detailed Wheel Clean & Shine
  • Wheel Wells
  • Professional Hand Wash
  • Paint Decontamination & Clay Bar
  • Enhanced Bug Removal
  • 3-Month Ceramic Shield

Paint Enhancement

  • 1-Step Paint Correction
  • Minor Oxidation & Swirls Addressed
  • Gloss & Clarity Boosted
  • 6-Month Sealant Applied

Two Forms, One Polish

The polishing is identical. The difference is whether the exterior detail comes with it.

Polishing FAQ

Is polishing the same as paint correction?

Not here. Polishing means a one-step: one machine pass that lifts light swirls and oxidation and boosts gloss. Paint correction is multi-stage work for deeper defects, quoted after we've inspected the paint.

Will polishing damage my clear coat?

Not when it's done once and done properly. A single pass removes very little clear coat, which is why the result is protected afterwards rather than polished again a few months later.

Can you polish a wrapped or coated car?

Not the same way. A coating has to come off to polish the paint under it, and a wrap is vinyl, not clear coat. Tell us which you have before booking and we'll tell you what's possible.

Do I need the standalone form or the add-on?

If polishing is the only thing you're booking, the standalone form. If you're already booking a Full Detail or an Exterior Detail, add Paint Enhancement to it instead. Never both on one vehicle.
