What Is Polishing?

Polishing is the professional process of correcting and refining a vehicle’s paint by removing surface defects such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and haze. It uses specialized machines, pads, and compounds to restore clarity, gloss, and depth to the paint while preserving the clear coat.
Polishing is a corrective process, not just cosmetic.
