FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most popular questions.
What does machine polishing do to my car’s paintwork? Machine polishing removes or reduces light swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation and dullness from the paint surface. It helps restore gloss, clarity and depth, giving the vehicle a cleaner and more refined finish.
Will machine polishing remove all scratches? No. Machine polishing is best suited to light swirl marks, wash marring and minor surface defects. Deep scratches that can be felt with a fingernail, heavy oxidation or more severe paint defects may require paint correction or another specialist repair.
Is machine polishing suitable for older cars and daily drivers? Yes. Machine polishing is suitable for everything from older vehicles and everyday family cars to performance and prestige vehicles. The polishing process is adjusted to suit the condition and type of paintwork rather than the badge or value of the vehicle.
What is included in your machine polishing service? The vehicle is thoroughly washed and the paintwork is prepared before polishing. Depending on the condition, this can include fallout removal, tar and glue removal, clay-bar decontamination, masking of sensitive trims and a machine polish to improve gloss and reduce visible paint defects.
How long does machine polishing take? This depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paintwork. Most single-stage machine polishing services take several hours, while vehicles requiring heavier correction or additional preparation may take longer.
Do you apply paint protection after machine polishing? Yes. Paint protection can be applied after polishing to help preserve the improved finish. Depending on the package selected, this may include a paint sealant or an upgrade to ceramic coating for longer-term protection.
What is the difference between machine polishing and paint correction? Machine polishing is primarily designed to improve gloss and reduce lighter defects in the paintwork. Paint correction is a more intensive process intended for deeper scratches, heavier swirl marks, sanding marks or more significant paint defects and may require multiple polishing stages.
Can you machine polish my car at my home or workplace? Yes. Last Detailers provides mobile machine polishing across South Wales, subject to suitable working conditions and access around the vehicle. We can assess the paintwork beforehand and recommend the most appropriate polishing or correction service.
