Paint enhancement in car detailing refers to a process aimed at improving the appearance of a vehicle’s paintwork by reducing imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation, without necessarily removing a lot of paint. It typically involves polishing or buffing the paint surface to restore gloss, depth, and clarity. All of this will be carried out after the vehicle has been given a full decontamination wash which will remove any contaminants from the paint to reduce any chances of causing damage to the paintwork during the polishing stages.

 

Paint enhancement focuses on light polishing to bring out the best in the paint while preserving as much of the original paint as possible. The result is a smoother, shinier, and more visually appealing finish. This process is done with specialised tools, such as machine polishers, and various polishing compounds or pads, depending on the level of correction needed.
