Car polishing is more than just cosmetic; it helps protect your paintwork, especially under New Zealand’s harsh sun. We use top-tier polishes and waxes to remove imperfections and restore a deep, reflective shine, keeping your vehicle looking its best.
What’s Involved in Our Car Polishing Service?
Our process is detailed and multi-stage to ensure the best results:
-
Full Inspection: We inspect the paintwork to identify surface damage.
-
Sanding: Fine-grade sanding removes superficial scratches and blemishes.
-
Cutting Compounds: We eliminate swirl marks and oxidation with cutting compounds.
-
Machine Buffing: This creates a smooth, even correction.
-
High-Gloss Polish: For added clarity and shine.
-
Protection: Two coats of wax or ceramic coating for long-lasting defence.
-
For dark-coloured vehicles, we use a glazing compound to enhance depth and remove swirl marks.
Why Regular Car Polishing Matters?
Even though modern vehicles have built-in paint protection, this degrades over time with sun exposure and environmental contaminants. Routine polishing helps:
-
Remove Dullness: Fine scratches, light oxidation, and imperfections are eliminated.
-
Maintain Appearance: Keeps your car looking newer and protects its resale value.
-
Extend the Life of the Clear Coat: Preserves your vehicle’s finish.
-
Protect from UV Rays and Pollution: Adds an extra layer of defence against the elements.
We recommend polishing your vehicle at least once a year, or more often if it’s regularly exposed to the outdoors.
Car Scratch Removal with Cut & Polish
Minor scratches and scuffs that haven’t damaged the paint layer can be completely removed with our cut and polish service. Our team carefully sands the area before applying compounds to restore a flawless finish—without needing to respray.
Ceramic Coating for Advanced Protection
For long-lasting protection, we offer ceramic coatings as an additional layer to safeguard your car’s paintwork. This advanced coating provides exceptional protection against environmental factors, keeping your vehicle’s finish looking pristine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once or twice a year is ideal, depending on how much you use the vehicle, its age, and its exposure to the elements. If your vehicle is often parked outdoors, it may benefit from more frequent polishing.
When performed by professionals, car polishing is safe and beneficial. Our team uses the right compounds and techniques to ensure your car’s paintwork remains intact and improved.
The duration of a car polish depends on several factors, including the quality of the tools used, the environment where the car is kept, and how frequently it’s driven and washed. Typically, a high-quality polish can last between 3 to 6 months. To maintain the best possible finish, wash your car regularly and avoid harsh weather conditions, such as excessive sun exposure or salty air near coastal areas, which can cause the shine to fade more quickly. Adding a high-quality wax after polishing can further extend the life of the finish by providing an additional layer of protection.
Standard car polish may not be suitable for all epoxy surfaces. Contact our team and we’ll assess the finish and recommend the right approach.
