Restore Your Cars Gloss with TopShine Detailing In
San Antonio

A simple, & effective service to bring shine and clarity back to your cars paint

Restoring the glossy finish of your paint by eliminating swirls and scratches.

Have you ever taken a closer look at your vehicle under sunlight and noticed swirls and scratches? Those are tiny imperfections that prevent your paint from shining its best.

Ever wondered why that happens? It’s usually because of improper washing and drying methods, which can gradually result in scratches and swirls. Automatic car washes, with their abrasive brushes, are notorious for causing these imperfections.

This service is ideal for vehicles in need of a little extra care for their paint and cleaning imperfections. While it does remove some light swirling, our Paint Correction service are a better option for vehicles that are in need of heavier swirl and scratch removal. 

The paint polish service is a step up from our wash and Wax service. It’s a more thorough process that takes extra time and effort to deliver exceptional results. Because we operate as a mobile service, there are specific requirements needed to perform this service at your location.

Frequently asked Paint Polishing Questions

Absolutely! We provide ceramic coating options for vehicles with durations ranging from 3 to 9 years. This enhancement not only adds protection but also includes fillers during the paint polishing process. Even if you opt for a one-step treatment, we can still apply ceramic coating, although pricing may vary depending on the condition and size of your vehicle. This link will take you to our ceramic coatings page if you would like to learn more. 

Paint polishing removes around 40 to 60% of imperfections, giving a nice gloss. Paint correction removes 80-90% of imperfections, creating an impressive shine with very minimal imperfections. 

Which one’s right for you? Polishing usually suits newer vehicles, while correction is for older ones with more imperfections. But it also depends on your budget and desired outcome. An older car can still greatly benefit from a simple polish if that’s fits your budget more. 

With the paint enhancement containing fillers, it typically lasts between 4-8 months, depending on how you maintain your vehicle. Opting for a Ceramic Coating extends the duration significantly, ranging from 3-9 years, depending on the vehicle’s condition.

There are certain defects that call for a repaint of an automobile, as opposed to paint correction packages that are offered here at TopShine. We determine prior to paint correction what can be corrected and what are actual issues that must be repainted.

We can do the paint polishing at your location but we’ll need a garage to work in. It’s best to perform this service with minimal exposure to the elements. We can also do this service at our home shop in Selma if you’d like to do a drop off.
