Typical Polishing Process

In our own polishing shop, we typically follow a multi-stage process that simultaneously allows us to achieve the highest-quality shine in the least time. Skipping steps leads to a lower-quality finish, or excessive time reaching the best finish.

Multi-Stage Sand

Levels textured, scratched, and pitted material for to produce a flat canvas.

Heavy Cut

Sanding marks are "cut" out with firm buffs and aggressive compounds.

Colour

Depth and clarity are added with medium compounds and buffs.

Mirror Finishing

Ultra-soft buffs and fine compound produce a deep, glossy mirror finish.
