Minor Paint Correction
A 1-step or single stage polish is the next level of paint correction beyond a Basic Polish. Driven towards bringing back the gloss and shine to the paintwork without breaking the bank.
This process is a slightly more time consuming process searching for defects in the paint and fixing them under proper lighting. Many light swirl marks and minor scratches can be removed.
Using a mild abrasive finishing polish via machine to lightly burnish the paintwork giving ultra-slick reflections and gloss.
All plastic, chrome and rubber moldings are taped off prior to buffing / polishing.
