Types of Polishing

Abrasive Polishing

A procedure where the damaged lacquer layer is removed with a polishing compound. Suitable for:

 
• Removing micro-cracks
 
• Eliminating small scratches
 
• Getting rid of dullness and wear

Note: not recommended for new cars with a thin lacquer layer.

Protective Polishing (liquid wax or polymer coating)

Does not remove lacquer but protects it with a coating. Suitable for new and well-maintained vehicles.

Coating Options:

 
• Liquid wax – protection up to 2 months
 
• Polymers – up to 6 months
 
• Nano coating – up to 12 months

Body Waxing

After polishing, it is recommended to apply a protective wax layer. It forms an invisible protective film that guards against:

 
• UV radiation
 
• Salt
 
• Dirt, dust, resin, and chemicals
 
• Insects and bird droppings
 
• Tar stains and small stones

1A Renkaat recommends waxing twice a year – in spring and autumn.

Headlight Polishing

Plastic headlights can become dull over time. We offer:

 
• Headlight polishing
 
• Haze removal
 
• Restoration of clarity
 
• Application of a protective layer

After the procedure, the light is brighter and the car looks significantly renewed.

Final price depends on the car's condition, body size, and selected coating.
