Two-Step Polish

2-Step Polish Description

A minor paint correction or 2-step polish is best decided upon after an in person consultation.  A paint correction assessment with a high beam light and full vehicle walk around will be done to note and determine the paint condition and level of correction needed.

​

A minor paint correction or 2-step polish can eliminate light swirls/scratches, oxidation and dull and hazy paintwork that has been damaged over the years by poor washing techniques, or improper use of bad car care chemicals.. 

​

The first step polishing stage is done with a cut compound, polishing/cutting pad and machine to move 80-90% of defects.  

​

The second step is a milder pass to refine the paint finish and give that ultra glossy 'jewel' like finish.

​

All plastic, chrome and rubber moldings are taped off prior to buffing / polishing.  

​

80 - 90% defect removal.
