Paint enhancement

What Is Paint Enhancement?

Paint enhancement is a professional machine polishing process designed to significantly improve the overall gloss, depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paintwork. Unlike a full paint correction, which aims to remove the majority of defects such as deep scratches and heavy swirl marks, a paint enhancement focuses on refining the surface to restore a rich, reflective finish without the need for extensive cutting or multiple polishing stages.

The Process

The enhancement process typically involves:

• Thorough preparation: The vehicle is first safely washed and fully decontaminated using tar, iron and clay bar treatments to ensure a clean surface.

• Single-stage machine polishing: Using professional polishing machines, compounds and pads, the top layer of clear coat is lightly refined to remove light swirl marks, oxidation and hazing.

• Gloss enhancement: This process rejuvenates tired or dull paintwork, boosting the colour depth and producing a smooth, glossy finish.

• Protection application: Once the paintwork has been refined, a premium wax, sealant or ceramic coating is applied to protect the newly enhanced surface and maintain its shine.

The Result

The outcome is a dramatic improvement in the vehicle’s overall appearance — paintwork looks cleaner, deeper and more reflective, with reduced minor defects and a noticeably smoother surface. It’s an excellent choice for vehicles that don’t require full correction, or for owners wanting to restore a brilliant showroom finish with minimal material removal.
