Car polishing in Belgrade

What polishing removes

• Swirl marks from car washes and brushes — fine circular scratches you see in the sun
• Dullness and oxidation: the paint shines again and the colour looks deeper
• Shallow scratches that haven’t gone through the clear coat

Two-step polishing removes up to 80–90% of defects, one-step up to 50–60%. A scratch down to the primer won’t polish out, and we don’t fully cut out a deep one in the clear coat — it would take too much paint. We’ll tell you about these before we start.

How we protect the paint

• Before every polish we measure paint thickness across the whole car.
• Thin factory clear coat is polished with a soft pad only.
• We try not to use a rotary polisher — it’s safer for the paint.
• Washing, polishing and leather work happen in separate bays, so dust and water stay where they belong.
• If we get it wrong, we fix it at our own cost. If we find hidden damage someone else left, we send you a photo and message you straight away.

How long it takes

Polishing takes from one day, a difficult case 2–3 days. If we apply a ceramic coating afterwards, the car stays another 12–24 hours, ideally a full 24, for it to cure. We’ll give the exact time at the inspection.

After polishing — protection

After polishing, the paint needs a ceramic coating or wax — protection is a separate service. We almost never polish without it: bare paint dulls quickly, and the first careless wash leaves swirls from rags and sponges. Ceramic on paint lasts differently: Gyeon — 6–8 months (the 2-year Gyeon — in practice a year to a year and a half), CarPro — 8–12 months, Meguiar’s — up to 3–5 years; a lot depends on care.
