    • Decontamination

    A comprehensive exterior wash followed by a two-step iron removal and clay bar treatment eliminates embedded contaminants, creating a smooth foundation for polishing.

    • Paint Inspection

    The paintwork is examined under specialized lighting to identify swirl marks, scratches, and other imperfections. This ensures the ideal pad and polish combination is selected.

    • Protection of Sensitive Areas

    Rubber trims, plastic moldings, and window seals are carefully masked to prevent accidental contact during polishing.

    • Machine Polishing

    Using a dual-action polisher and a refined compound-and-pad system, the paint is corrected in a single stage to enhance depth, clarity, and reflection.
