Our Single Stage Machine Polishing service is designed to dramatically improve the look of your car’s paintwork by removing light imperfections and restoring a deep, glossy finish. It’s the perfect choice if your vehicle doesn’t need full paint correction but you still want it to look sharp, clean, and showroom fresh.

What is Single Stage Machine Polishing?

Unlike a full paint correction, which uses multiple polishing passes, a single stage polish uses one carefully selected combination of machine polisher, pad, and polish to refine the paintwork. This process safely removes light swirl marks, minor scratches, and general dullness, while restoring depth, clarity, and a smooth reflective finish.

Our Process

Decontamination Wash – We begin with a full multi-stage wash and paint decontamination. This includes iron fallout remover, tar remover, clay barring, and deep cleaning to strip away bonded contamination. A perfectly clean surface ensures the polishing stage achieves maximum results.

Single Stage Machine Polishing – Once the surface is fully prepared, we use a professional dual-action polishing machine with a carefully matched pad and polish combination. This removes swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, and hazing, typically eliminating around 60–70% of visible defects while dramatically boosting gloss and clarity.

Paint Protection – After polishing, we finish with a high-quality wax or sealant to lock in the shine and protect the paint. For customers looking for long-term durability, we also offer ceramic coating upgrades at an additional cost. Ceramic protection provides up to several years of durability, extreme gloss, and resistance against UV rays, dirt, and harsh weather.
