A single stage machine polish is recommended, to enhance gloss and remove any light imperfections picked up through transportation, storage and dealerships washes. We use a combination of industry leading technology, polishing pads and cutting edge polishing compounds to get the best results for your car.

Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Coating is the most affordable option when it comes to paint protection, offering chemical and UV resistance to protect against dulling and fading as well as adding a hydrophobic surface which repels rain, water, chemicals and dirt to keep your car cleaner for longer and making it easier to clean and maintain.

Our PPF has a heat-activated self healing top layer, that makes swirl marks disappear in front of your eyes.

why does my new car need detailing?
Greetings!
Ross Arthur here from Machine Polishing Central Scotland, where we believe every car deserves to shine, no matter how new or old.
Now, you might be wondering, “Ross, why does my brand-new car need detailing? It’s fresh out of the showroom!” Well, let me steer you in the right direction. 😉
Protective Layering: Your new car may gleam, but that doesn’t mean it’s got all the protection it needs. Just like you’d wear a jacket in a drizzle, your car can benefit from a protective layer to safeguard against the harsh Scottish elements. This will ensure it remains looking ‘tyre-ific’ for longer.
Hidden Imperfections: Believe it or not, brand-new vehicles can have minor imperfections – swirl marks, minor scratches, or adhesive residues. These little quirks can be due to handling, transportation, or the pre-delivery processes. A car detailer can help you spot and rectify these before they become a larger issue, ensuring your ride stays spotless.
Enhancing Shine: Even the newest cars can benefit from a polish to bring out their true shine. It’s like giving your car a wee sparkle that’ll make it stand out, even in the gloomiest Scottish weather.
Interior Protection: It’s not just about the exterior. Your car’s inside deserves love too! Proper detailing will condition and protect your seats, dashboard, and carpets from wear and tear, spills, and those rogue muddy boots.
Long-term Value: Think of detailing as a small investment for your new car. Regular care can extend the life and looks of your vehicle. So, when it’s time for a new one (hopefully not too soon!), you’ll have kept your current one in ‘wheely’ good shape, fetching you a better value.
Remember, cars are more than just machines; they’re an extension of ourselves. And just like we need a bit of pampering now and then, so do our vehicles. So, let’s give your new car the shine it deserves. After all, as we say here in Machine Polishing Central Scotland, “Why just ride when you can glide in style?” 🚗✨
Cheers, Ross Arthur, your pun-loving car detailer!
