What is Machine Polishing?

Machine polishing is a process used to remove surface imperfections from vehicle paint such as swirl marks, scratches, etching, oxidisation and other defects.

It uses specialised polishing compounds and pads applied with an electric machine polisher to restore the clear coat of the car.

The result of machine polishing is a smooth, glossy finish that looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. The process can also be used for paint correction in which deeper scratches are removed or corrected to bring back showroom quality shine.

Machine polishing requires a great deal of skill and knowledge about different compounds and techniques to achieve optimal results.

In addition, we offer a range of ceramic coating options for the complete car protection including for paintwork, glass, wheels, exhaust, interior, fabric and leather.

New or used, we’ve got the tools and experience to take care of your car. New and nearly new cars are usually treated with a single stage polish while older cars are more like to need 2 – 3 stages of polishing to get the desired results.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions about Machine Polishing below, but if you still have questions, send us a message or call 01506 365059

What is a Machine Polisher?

Machine polishers come in different sizes and power ranges, from small handheld models to large industrial-grade machines. They also offer different levels of speed control, allowing the user to adjust the speed to suit the material being polished and the level of polishing required.

Using a machine polisher can save time and effort compared to manual polishing, but it requires some skill and experience to use effectively without damaging the surface being polished. Therefore, it is essential to follow proper safety procedures and use the appropriate polishing pad and compound for the task at hand.

What different types of machine polishers are there?

There are several types of machine polishers used in the detailing industry, the most commonly used are rotary polishers, dual action polishers and forced rotation polishers. 

Rotary Polishers

Rotary Polishers are the most traditional type of machine polishers and are also known as circular polishers or rotary buffers. They have a circular rotating pad that spins in a single direction and uses a rotary motion to remove surface imperfections – they are powerful and can remove deep scratches, swirls, and heavy oxidation, but they require a higher level of skill and experience to use effectively.

Dual Action Polishers

Dual action polishers are also known as random orbital polishers or DA polishers. They have a circular pad that oscillates in a random pattern, which reduces the risk of damaging the surface being polished and are less aggressive than rotary polishers and are ideal for removing light to moderate swirl marks, scratches, and other imperfections.

Forced Rotation Polishers

Forced Rotation polishers have a mechanism that forces the pad to rotate and oscillate at the same time, giving them more power than a standard dual action polisher, but with less risk of causing damage than a rotary polisher. They are ideal for removing deeper scratches and defects while still providing a user-friendly experience.

Each type of polisher has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of machine polisher will depend on the level of skill and experience of the user, the type of paint or material being polished, and the level of correction or enhancement required.

Using a machine polisher can save time and effort compared to manual polishing, but it requires some skill and experience to use effectively without damaging the surface being polished. Therefore, it is essential to follow proper safety procedures and use the appropriate polishing pad and compound for the task at hand.
