1-Stage Paint Polish

Contact for quote

Remove light swirls, scratches, and oxidation in one pass.

⏱ ~2–3 hours📦 Exterior Detail or Complete Package

A single-stage machine polish uses a medium-cut compound and polishing pad to remove light to moderate paint defects — swirl marks, fine scratches, water etching, and surface oxidation. The result is dramatically improved gloss and clarity. For heavily scratched paint, a two-stage correction is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 1-stage and 2-stage correction?
A 1-stage polish uses a single compound to cut and finish in one step. A 2-stage uses a heavier cut followed by a finishing polish — used for deep scratches and heavy oxidation.
Will paint polish remove all scratches?
Paint polish removes scratches within the clear coat. Scratches that penetrate through clear coat to the base coat or primer require touch-up paint or body shop repair.
How long does polished paint stay looking good?
Without protection, polished paint will begin collecting new swirls within weeks. Apply ceramic spray sealant or a nano-ceramic coating after polishing to preserve results.
