Service 14 · Gloss & clarity
Machine buffing and polishing by a certified automotive buffer to bring back gloss.
What is
Buffing and polishing use machine polishers, pads, and polishes to smooth the paint surface and bring back gloss, clarity, and depth.
How it works
After washing and inspection, the paint is machine polished with pad and product combinations chosen for the finish.
What it does
It reduces dullness and light surface marks so the paint reflects light more cleanly. For deeper multi-stage work, see paint correction.

Buffing & polishing
What's the difference between buffing and paint correction?
Buffing and polishing focus on gloss and light marks. Paint correction is a more involved, multi-stage process for heavier defects.
Can buffing remove deep scratches?
Scratches that go through the clear coat usually can't be buffed out. They can be evaluated during your quote.
How much does it cost?
Every vehicle and component is different, so pricing is provided through a quote. Send photos and a description of what you're looking to accomplish, and we'll evaluate the project.
