The Process

How We Work

1

Decontamination wash

Snowfoam and citrus pre-wash lifts dirt safely before any contact.

2

Iron & tar removal

Embedded contamination that's dulling the paint is chemically removed.

3

Clay bar treatment

Physically lifts bonded contaminants that washing alone can't remove.

4

Single-stage gloss polish

Enhances gloss and clarity — a refresh pass, not a cutting/correction pass.

5

Sealant, tyres & glass

A 3 month paint sealant is applied, tyres dressed and glass cleaned.

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.

Gloss Enhancement is a refresh, not a correction — it isn't designed to remove existing swirls or scratches. For visible paint defects, see our Stage 1 or Stage 2 Machine Polish packages instead.

In Detail

Is This the Right Package for Your Car?

Who it's for

Gloss Enhancement is for a car that already looks reasonably good — no heavy swirling or visible scratches — but has lost that “just detailed” depth and reflection over time from regular washing, weather and daily use.

When to choose something else

If you can see swirl marks or scratches in direct sunlight, this won't correct them — for genuine paint correction, you'd want Stage 1 machine polish or, for deeper defects, Stage 2 machine polish. If your paint just needs a wash rather than machine work, Entry Level Valet is the better value option.

What the visit looks like

Around 2.5–3 hours. We decontaminate with an iron fallout remover, tar remover and clay bar before any polishing, then run a single-stage gloss pass, finishing with a 3-month paint sealant, dressed tyres and cleaned glass.

What you're left with

Genuinely sharper depth and reflection in the paint, with a fresh layer of protection — and a good sense of what our machine work can do, if you decide to come back for full correction later.

Gloss Enhancement · FAQ

Questions Answered

No — Gloss Enhancement is a single-stage refresh, not a correction. For genuine swirl and scratch removal, see our Stage 1 or Stage 2 Machine Polish packages.

Stage 1 is a correction pass designed to remove up to 70–90% of defects, plus a 2-year ceramic coating. Gloss Enhancement is lighter and faster — it enhances shine without cutting into the paint, and includes a 3-month sealant rather than ceramic coating.

Around 2.5–3 hours, depending on vehicle size and condition.
