One bottle stands between your paint and the respray you were quoted.
Light swirls, holograms, wash marring: none of that is permanent damage. It is surface defect sitting in the top layer of your clear coat, and Perfect Polish is built to take it out in one step. Filler-free and silicone-free, so what you see when you finish is true corrected paint, not a wax job that washes off in two weeks.

How to Use Perfect Polish
Pad & Machine
-
DA Polisher (preferred) or rotary.
-
Light defects: Orange Foam Polishing Pad.
-
Moderate defects / one-step: One Step Microfiber Pad.
Application
-
Prime the pad (light smear for microfiber; 3–4 pea-size drops for foam).
-
Work a 2' × 2' section at medium speed, slow arm movement, light–moderate pressure.
-
Make 4–6 overlapping passes; finish with one light, no-pressure pass to refine.
-
Wipe residue with a clean microfiber. Inspect and repeat as needed.
Pro tips
-
Clean the pad every 1–2 sections (brush/air) to maintain consistent cut/finish.
-
For coating prep, wipe polished panels with panel wipe/IPA after polishing (since Perfect Polish is filler-free).
