Generally poor paintwork on a car can make it appear “average” or “tatty” even if it is a relatively new car.
On the other hand a good paint finish will give the car life and people will notice, “fantastic”, “wow”, “Shiny” will be their comments.
Even with a poor paint finish, which is often caused by many things including automatic car wash machines, poor washing techniques and atmospheric fall-out you don’t always have to get a respray.
With machine polishing techniques, and using the correct foam buffing pads and polishes,
you can almost certainly get your car’s paint finish to a very high standard.

Some of the most common paint “defects” are Swirl Marks, holograms, buffer marks, oxidisation, small scratches and carpark scuffs, almost all of which can be corrected to some degree, whether it be fully or partial.

 Below Before & After                                       

 

 

 

 

Before any machine correction is carried out, the Swissvax will treat the paintwork with tar remover, and treat the paintwork with a clay bar, which when finished will give the paintwork a glass like surface.

Swirl Marks (aka Cob Webbing)

Generally caused by automatic car wash machines or poor hand wash techniques. The wash brushes on the machines are quite abrasive, so cause microscopic scratches called micro marring. This can also be said for hand washing with sponges, any small amount of dirt/grit in the sponge can cause these microscopic scratches that appear in a circular formation – hence the name “swirl marks”.
Generally quite obvious when the paintwork is in direct sunlight, they can be removed with a light/medium polish and can then be covered with a glaze/sealant and then a quality wax.

Holograms

They appear to “float” on the paint surface when caught with light. Generally caused by improper use of a rotary or orbital polisher, the incorrect polish and the wrong technique.
Can be easily removed using good polishing techniques.

Oxidation

As a result of UV light and no polish protection the paint surface can become oxidized
causing paint to become dull and rough to the touch. Light/medium oxidation can be easily removed with machine polishing. Then the paints oils can be replenished with varying polishes, sealant and waxes.

Light Scratches

Generally caused by incorrect cleaning and polishing techniques. Grit can be caught up in a sponge and create many small scratches. Using the incorrect abrasive polishes can also cause light surface scratching. Picture below shows paintwork that has been paint corrected on the right
