Paint enhancement for clearer, glossier paintwork
Detailing
Paint Enhancement uses a single-stage machine polish to restore clarity, depth and gloss, reducing light wash marks and lifting dull paintwork. It suits cars that are clean but have lost some of their shine.
Paint Enhancement from £325. The enhancement work is the same at every level; you choose the protection that follows it.
Who is paint enhancement for?
It suits reasonably sound paint with light wash marks, swirls or surface haze. The result is a clearer, glossier finish across the whole car. Deeper marks may remain, and missing paint or failing clear coat needs a different response.
If defects are more widespread, our paint correction comparison explains the next levels. For a closer look at the process, read what paint enhancement involves.
One finish, three ways to protect it. Paint enhancement detail with three protection options.
Paint Enhancement
Paint Enhancement + Ceramic (2 to 3 years)
Paint Enhancement + Long-life Ceramic Coating (3 to 5 years)
Your final quote depends on vehicle size and condition.
Every tier includes the same level of paint enhancement. Choose a protective sealant, our recommended Ceramic Coating, or Long-life Ceramic Coating.
Careful preparation first. Single-stage machine polish and paint preparation.
We start with washing and suitable decontamination, including mineral deposits and bonded material, then dry the car before machine polishing. A clean surface lets us judge the paint itself and choose the right pad and polish combination.
We ask about previous repairs, existing coatings and any areas that need particular attention. Matte and satin finishes are assessed separately, as a gloss-enhancing process can change their intended appearance.
Paint enhancement vs paint correction: how far to take the finish.
Paint responds differently according to its condition and history, so some marks may remain after a single-stage polish. More polishing is not always better when preserving the finish matters more than removing one stubborn scratch.
