Cost by Service Level A professional car polishing service to remove micro scratches and swirl marks typically starts from around £150-£250 for a single-stage polish, focusing on light defect removal. More extensive detailing, involving multiple stages of cutting and refining with different grit compounds, can range from £300 to £600 or more, depending on the vehicle's size and condition. This usually includes preparation work like washing and decontamination, followed by the use of dual-action polishers and various pad sizes, including 1 inch and 2 inch pads for intricate areas. Key Factors That Impact the Price The overall cost of polishing a car is influenced by several factors. The size of the vehicle significantly affects labour time and material usage. The severity of the paint defects, such as deep scratches or heavy swirl marks, dictates the aggressiveness of the cutting compound required and the number of polishing stages. A more extensive correction, often involving different grades of cutting compound and polishing pads, will increase the price. Furthermore, the expertise of the detailer and the quality of products used, including specific polishes and clear coat protection, also play a role. What About DIY? Polishing scratches out of car paint yourself can save money, especially for minor imperfections. This 12V Cordless Rotary Polisher, with its variable speed from 2500-4500 RPM and 1 inch / 2 inch pad diameters, is suitable for precision work. To polish a car by hand for small areas, you would typically use a foam applicator pad and a fine cutting compound. For more effective scratch removal, a machine like this dual-action polisher is recommended, starting with a medium cut compound to remove defects, followed by a finer polish to refine the clear coat and eliminate haze or swirl marks. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
