Machine polishingin Glasgow

Dull paint and swirl marks are usually in the top layer of lacquer, not the colour. Machine polishing takes them out and brings back the depth and clarity the paint had when it was new, then a protective coating keeps it that way for longer.

If a scratch has gone through the lacquer into the colour, polishing won’t remove it. It needs a paint repair, and we’ll tell you which yours is.

Questionsabout machine polishing

Straight answers to what people ask us most. Can’t see yours? Call the workshop or send a few photos and ask.

Will polishing remove deep scratches?

Polishing removes swirls and light scratches. If a scratch has gone through the lacquer into the colour, it needs a paint repair; we’ll tell you which yours is.

When is polishing worth it?

Before selling a car, after a repair so the whole car matches, or when the paint has gone dull and swirled from washing.

Do you offer ceramic coating?

Yes. A ceramic coating can go on after polishing to protect the finish and make the car easier to keep clean.

Is machine polishing safe for my paint?

Done properly, it takes off only a very thin layer of clear coat to level out the marks. We check the paint first and never take off more than it needs.
