How to Choose
Ask Yourself These Questions
1
Does your paint look dull or tired, but you can't see any actual marks?
Gloss Enhancement is likely right for you — it's a refresh, not a correction, and won't remove marks that aren't there in the first place.
2
Can you see swirl marks or light scratches in direct sunlight?
Stage 1 Machine Polish corrects up to 70–90% of this in a single visit, with a 2-year ceramic coating included.
3
Can you see and feel the marks in normal light, not just under a detailing lamp?
Stage 2 Machine Polish is our deepest correction — 95%+ over a genuine 2-day process.

Budget, Explained
What Extra Spend Buys You
Guide prices by vehicle size, not fixed prices — the final price depends on your vehicle's condition and is always agreed with you first.
| Package | Gloss Enhancement | Stage 1 | Stage 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| From price | £160 | £350 | £650 |
| Duration | 2.5–3 hours | 6–8 hours | 2 days |
| Correction level | Refresh only, no cutting | 70–90% of swirls & scratches | 95%+ — our deepest correction |
| Ceramic coating | Not included (3 month sealant) | 2 year, included as standard | 2 year, included as standard |
Going from Gloss Enhancement to Stage 1 buys genuine paint correction plus 2 years of ceramic protection, instead of a 3-month sealant. Going from Stage 1 to Stage 2 buys an extra day of work and significantly deeper correction for paint with real, visible defects.
Prices above are guide prices by vehicle size, not fixed prices — the final price can vary depending on your vehicle’s condition (heavy soiling, pet hair, mould, or an especially intricate vehicle), and is always agreed with you before any work begins. See our Terms & Conditions for details.

Machine Polishing · FAQ
It depends on severity — send us a few photos on WhatsApp and we'll recommend Stage 1 or Stage 2 honestly, including if a cheaper option is all you actually need.
No. Stage 1 and Stage 2 both include a 2-year ceramic coating as standard. Gloss Enhancement includes a 3-month paint sealant instead — it's a lighter package and doesn't include ceramic coating.
If we find your paint needs more correction than expected once we start, we'll always discuss it and agree a price with you before doing any extra work.
