Car polishing
Washing marks, light swirls and a dull finish build up on every daily car. A machine polish works them out of the top layer of the paint so the colour looks rich again.
What is polishing?
Car polishing uses a machine and a fine abrasive polish to level the top layer of clear coat. It reduces light swirls, wash marks and dullness and brings the gloss back. Deep scratches that go through the clear coat cannot be polished out. A polish is also the first step before a ceramic coating.
Why polish your car?
- Gloss back. Light swirls and wash marks are reduced, so the paint looks deeper.
- Before a coating. Polishing comes first so a ceramic coating locks in a clean finish.
- Before you sell. A polished car photographs and shows better; our sister business Star Performance Motor is in the same unit.
- Bundle price. Included in our $628 nett car care bundle with ceramic coating, window film and headlight PPF.

How much does car polishing cost?
Polishing is part of our car care bundle, posted at $628 nett (usual price $950), which also covers ceramic coating, LTA compliant window film and free headlight PPF (one pair). Polishing on its own is priced by quote, because it depends on your car size and how worn the paint is.
These are offers we have posted on our Facebook page, with their dates. WhatsApp us for today's price.

Polishing questions
What does car polishing do?
It levels the top layer of clear coat to reduce light swirls, wash marks and dullness, so the paint looks glossy again.
Can polishing remove scratches?
Light scratches and swirls, yes. Scratches that go through the clear coat to the colour or primer need a touch-up or respray instead.
Should I polish a wrapped or matte car?
No. Matte and satin wraps should never be polished, because polish adds uneven shine. Paint is polished before a wrap or coating, not the film itself.
