5 Signs Your Car Needs Machine Polishing – And Where to Get It in Hinckley, Leicestershire

Table of Contents

Your car might look clean at a glance, but under the sunlight, those swirl marks, scratches, and dull patches tell a different story. If you’re in Hinckley or anywhere in Leicestershire, a professional machine polish could be exactly what your vehicle needs to restore that showroom shine.

At New Look Detailing, we specialise in expert paint correction and machine polishing services that dramatically improve your car’s appearance—and its value. But how do you know if your car is due for a machine polish?

1. Swirl Marks and Micro-Scratches Are Visible

The most common sign your car needs polishing is the presence of swirl marks. These light, circular scratches often come from improper washing and are most visible under direct light. Machine polishing smooths these out and revives the clarity of your paintwork.

2. The Paint Looks Dull or Tired

If your car’s paint has lost its depth and gloss—even after a wash—it’s a clear indication that oxidation has begun. A professional polish removes the oxidised layer and brings back the original vibrance.

3. You’re Getting Your Car Ready to Sell

Planning to sell your car in Hinckley or Leicester? A freshly machine-polished vehicle makes a powerful first impression and can even increase resale value. It’s one of the easiest ways to boost buyer confidence.

4. Water Doesn’t Bead on the Paint Anymore

Paintwork that no longer repels water effectively often has contamination or damage that a polish can address. It’s also the perfect prep step before applying wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings.

5. You See Holograms or Uneven Finishes from Previous Polishing

DIY machine polishing or poorly done jobs can leave holograms—those unsightly ghost-like streaks under light. At New Look Detailing, we use industry-leading dual-action polishers and paint depth gauges to correct these properly.
