When to get it done

Your guide
to paint enhancement

Here’s what drivers typically want to know before booking a paint enhancement detail.

It is ideal when your vehicle looks dull, has mild swirling, or simply needs a professional refresh. It is also an excellent choice when preparing for ceramic coating.

A paint enhancement focuses on refining light imperfections and boosting gloss through a single polishing stage. Full correction involves multiple stages to tackle deeper scratches and more severe defects.

It will noticeably reduce light swirls and minor marks but will not fully remove deeper scratches. For that, a paint correction detail is more suitable.

With safe washing, the improvement can last several months. Protection can be extended further with maintenance valeting or ceramic coating.

Yes. All colours benefit from increased gloss and clarity. Darker colours show the improvement most dramatically, but all finishes see a clear visual upgrade.
