How long does an auto polish take?

A quick once-over can take as little as 30 minutes. But for a full polish - the kind that brings tired paintwork back to life - expect it to take 2–4 hours, or longer for larger vehicles like vans or 4x4s.

If the job includes paint correction, scratch removal, or ceramic protection, it’ll take longer. Good auto polishers will take the time to get that showroom shine.

How often should I get my car polished?

A full polish every 6 to 12 months helps protect your paintwork and keep your car looking its best, as a rough guide. But it ultimately depends on how much you drive and how you look after your car. 

Live near the coast? Park under trees? Drive through all weathers? You might need it polished a little more often to remove contaminants that can damage the finish.

Some vehicle valeting packages include polishing, so if you're getting regular cleans, it’s worth asking if a polish is part of the deal.

Can I polish my vehicle myself?

Yes you can, but it’s easy to go wrong. Use the wrong product, or too much pressure, and you could dull or damage the paint. 

But if you’re after a flawless finish, or you just want to save yourself the faff, it’s worth hiring someone to get it polished up properly. They’ve got the kit, the know-how, and the knack for getting results that last.
