ENHANCEMENT DETAIL
CORRECT | PRICE FROM £599
Description
A gloss enhancement detail is designed to reduce swirls and marring which dulls your paint. Using a 2 stage machine polish we aim to reduce 70-80% of these paints defects and restoring your gloss level. After the paint has been restored, our detailers will apply a ceramic coating which ensures this finish lasts longer, and most important is easier for you to maintain.

What Are Paint Swirls?
Paint swirls are caused by poor washing techniques including dirty mitts, cloths, brushes and water. Dry wiping can also cause this. Swirls cause flat and dull paint.
What Is Marring?
Marring is only seen in bright light and looks like a wave pattern. Marring is the result of either machine polishing which has been unrefined or buffing to hard.
What Is Machine Polishing?
Machine polishing or mopping is the art of using a rotatory or orbital polisher with a foam or wool pad and a cutting compound to polish back paint defects or refine finishes. Operating up to 6000rpm, it requires a skilled hand to maximum the results and reduce risk or damaging the paint.
What Is A Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating are the next evolution in top coats. Replacing wax, ceramic coatings are highly durable and longer lasting. Professional grade ceramic coatings like Gtechniq's Crystal Serum, need to be professionally applied in a controlled environment.
