Car Polishing in West Sussex
Car Polishing is the process of machine polishing to correct and perfect a car’s paintwork. Your paintwork is exposed to everything our Great British weather and roads have to offer and over time this causes dulling, fading, scratches, swirl marks and other paint defects. Our paint correction packages are designed to bring your paintwork back to showroom condition from just £300.

What is Car Polishing?
Car polishing is the process of machine polishing using machine polishers, polishing pads, polishes and compounds to improve the visual aesthetics of your car’s paintwork. Over time micro-scratches create peaks and troughs in the clear coat of your paint finish, which appear as swirl marks to the naked eye. Car polishing cuts back the clear coat, to level it out and remove those scratches and swirl marks. The same process can be used to reverse dulling and fading, and return the paintwork back to showroom condition.

10/10 – the best around
I could not be happier with the service from Summit Details. Hayden has looked after friends and family for some time now and never disappoints. He made my old car look brand new and the service and protection for my new car has been phenomenal. The ceramic protection is worth every penny. With his new employee Luke the service continues to be 10/10. Thank you for everything and for always going that extra mile.
Professional throughout with amazing results!
I let Hayden loose on my 3 Series touring and he transformed it. Gave it a deep level of shine that is unmatched and ultimately protected the car with the ceramic coating, which has lasted incredibly well especially seeing as the car has covered 27,000 miles since it was detailed and protected by Summit Details. I was kept well informed and saw photos through the process on social media which was a nice touch! I can highly recommend Summit Details for your vehicle detailing needs!
Exceptional Work Every Time
Hayden has cleaned my car a few times now, each time has been to an exceptional standard. His communication is brilliant, sending me pictures of any dings or marks to the car as he was working on it, as well as quick at responding when booking appointments or even just answering my questions about how to maintain the clean. I’d highly recommend Summit for any detailing work you need.
Great experience, amazing work
I was really impressed by the convenience and quality of Summit Details. Hayden arrived promptly and transformed my car right on my driveway. His attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the immaculate interior cleaning to the flawless exterior which was finished off down the unit being ceramic coated. It’s a game changer to have such a professional service come to you. I’ll definitely be scheduling another appointment in the future!
Car Polishing FAQs
What is Car Polishing?
Car polishing is a process of restoring a car’s paintwork to its original, or near-original condition, by removing minor surface scratches and blemishes caused by everyday use and poor wash technique. The ultimate purpose of polishing your car is to bring out the gloss and shine from within the paintwork, making it look new again.
Car polishing is usually carried out by car detailers who have been trained to remove scratches, swirl marks and paint defects through the use of machinery and polishing compounds
What are the benefits of Car Polishing?
Polishing your vehicle can do more than just make it look newer; it also make the car easier to maintain since there’s less crevices in the paintwork for dirt and contamination to cling on to. The process guards against corrosion while enhancing the clarity and depth of colour in your paint. In addition, regular maintenance will increase resale value if you plan on selling down the track or help to avoid repair costs for leased cars when returning them.
How do I polish my car?
At Summit Details in West Sussex, we use a combination of machine polishers, polishing pads and polishing compounds to restore your car paintwork to its original or near-original condition.
To begin with, the surface is cleaned thoroughly to free it of dirt and contaminants. Then one or two passes are made depending on the imperfections present on the surface; this could involve using varying levels of aggressiveness with the machine and different grade pads for different levels of defects.
Once these processes are completed, an inspection is carried out to make sure all unwanted marks have been eliminated from the painting surfaces before applying a final wax or sealant product which not only provides an even glossier finish but also locks in all that hard work that has just been done. This will also protect against sun damage while enhancing clarity and depth of colour in your vehicle’s exterior.
What type of polish should I use?
At Summit Details in West Sussex we always recommend using high quality polish products as they usually contain micro-abrasives that help remove light swirl marks and other blemishes without causing too much damage to your cars delicate paint surfaces. Always read instructions carefully when using any products as some may require multiple passes.
