What does machine polishing actually do?

Machine polishing removes fine scratches, swirl marks, and general fading from your car’s paintwork, restoring the depth and shine of the original finish. Unlike a standard wash and wax, it works on the paint itself, using a rotating pad and polishing compound to gently level the surface.

Will machine polishing remove scratches?

It depends on the depth of the scratch. Light surface marks and swirls, often caused by automatic car washes or careless washing, respond well to machine polishing. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat usually need a smart repair or a respray to fix properly, and we’ll be upfront if that’s the case for your car.

Is machine polishing safe for my car’s paint?

Yes, when carried out correctly. Our technicians assess the paint’s condition and thickness before starting, so the process improves the finish without removing more material than necessary.
