Paint Resurfacing Excellence
Restore. Protect. Impress.
At Knighted Detailing, our Paint Resurfacing Excellence service brings your vehicle’s paint back to life—reviving depth, gloss, and clarity for a flawless, showroom finish.
Over time, your car’s exterior battles harsh weather, improper washing, and daily wear. The result? Swirl marks, scratches, fading, dullness, and other defects that rob the paint of its brilliance.
Using precision machine polishing techniques, our specialists expertly remove surface imperfections from the clear coat—revealing rich, deep color and a mirror-like shine. In many cases, the transformation is so dramatic that vehicles appear freshly painted.
But correction is only the first step. Once perfected, we strongly recommend ceramic coatings or sealants to lock in the finish and protect it for years to come.
Common Paint Defects We Correct
- Swirl Marks – Fine scratches that catch the light in spiderweb-like patterns, often caused by improper washing.
- Deep Scratches – If a scratch catches your fingernail, it’s cut into the clear coat. While we can reduce visibility, complete removal usually requires repainting.
- Dull Paint – Loss of shine from UV exposure, chemical damage, or heavy swirl build-up.
- Bird Dropping Etching – Acidic residue from bird mess can permanently mark paint if left untreated.
- Holograms – Looped polishing marks from improper machine use, often by untrained detailers.
What Results to Expect
Your car’s final look depends on its condition, paint thickness, and the correction level chosen. You can expect:
- Smoother, more reflective paint
- Dramatically improved gloss and depth
- Fewer visible defects (some fully removed, others reduced)
