Over time, your car’s paintwork can lose its shine due to road grime, harsh weather, and tiny scratches. Whether you’re in Spalding, Boston, or Holbeach, a proper exterior detail with machine polishing can bring your paintwork back to life. But be careful — not everyone advertising “detailing” has real paintwork knowledge. Some so-called detailers are simply car valeters offering a wash and wax, without the skill or tools to correct paint defects.


What Makes True Detailing Different from Valeting

  • Valeting is mainly about cleaning the car’s surfaces.

  • Detailing goes much deeper, addressing the condition of the paint itself.

  • A genuine detailer understands paint layers, defect removal, and safe polishing techniques — not just making the car look shiny for a day.



What is Machine Polishing?

Machine polishing uses a rotary or dual-action machine with specialist pads and compounds to:

  • Remove swirl marks caused by poor washing and drying.

  • Reduce or eliminate light scratches.

  • Restore depth, clarity, and gloss to faded paint.



When to Consider Machine Polishing

  • You see circular marks (swirls) in the paint under sunlight.

  • The paint feels rough even after washing.

  • Your car’s colour looks dull or flat.

  • You’re preparing to sell or return a lease car.



How GoSmarterWay Performs Exterior Detailing

  1. Deep Clean & Decontamination – Removing dirt, tar, and fallout from the paint.

  2. Paint Inspection – Identifying defects and choosing the right polishing method.

  3. Machine Polishing – Using the correct pads, compounds, and techniques for your car’s paint type.

  4. Paint Touch-Ups – Filling and blending chips or deeper marks where needed.

  5. Protection – Applying wax or sealant to keep the finish protected and glossy.



Why Professional Detailing Matters

  • Corrects paint defects instead of hiding them.

  • Improves colour depth and reflection.

  • Protects your paint from further damage.

  • Avoids the risk of burning or damaging paint from improper machine use.

One of our customers in Lincolnshire left us a 5 Star Review

"Just had the car polished. It was in a bad way so not an easy job. The car had suffered slight sun fade and so niggly marks to deal with. Cant put into words how happy I was with the end result. The car was gleaming and far exceeded my expectations. Very reasonable price aswell! Thanks again to the whole team cheers."
