Real paint correction with a real price: buffing and polishing done by machine, by me, at your driveway, with polish and pads included.
Machine polishing works by removing a thin layer of clear coat to level out the damage sitting in it. That is why light scratches, swirl marks, scuffs, and oxidation respond so well, and why deep scratches do not: if the damage goes through the clear coat into color or primer, polishing cannot erase it. My rule of thumb is the fingernail test. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it usually will not polish out, and I will tell you that before you pay me, not after.

Every polishing job starts with decontamination, because polishing over bonded grit just makes new scratches. Once I see your paint I will tell you how many hours I expect, so you will know the price prior to my beginning work, as nobody likes surprises! After polishing, wax protection goes back on so the corrected paint never sits bare.
