Machine Polishing
Machine polishing is often seen as the area of detailing that requires the most skill, and while that may be pretty accurate, with the correct products and know-how, it’s entirely possible for amateur detailers and enthusiasts to get professional results in everything from paintwork enhancements to full, multi-stage corrections.
No matter whether you’re a car care professional, a novice or a complete beginner to the world of valeting and detailing, we stock everything needed for the machine polishing process, from the compounds and car polishes required to remove a full range of defects and refine paintwork down to a flawless finish, to machine polishing pads, and a range of high-quality DA Machine Polishers - such as our full body DPX Dual Action Polisher and compact MPX Dual Action Machine Polisher. All of which are capable of getting professional results in the hands of enthusiasts.
We not only make the main machine polishing process simple, but we also offer a special selection of supporting products, form our Swirl Spotter and Swirl Seeker detailing lights, to Pad Prime, Pro Polish Bottles and Pad Cleaning Brushes - to see you swiftly and safely through the entire machining process.

Aside from the equipment you need we also make the process of choosing your polishes and compounds infinitely less complicated by offering convenient, straightforward correction solutions. These come as either stand-alone detailing products available separately, or as comprehensive bundles, such as our 3-stage Revitalise System V2 kit, and our Complete Machine Polishing Kit.
Some of most popular compound products include:
Revitalise Compounds: Forming part of our wider Revitalise System, our selection of three machine polishing compounds are available separately and designed to make professional paint correction more widely available to enthusiasts by ensuring the tasks of cutting, polishing and finishing paintwork are as simple as possible.
Developed as a straightforward 3-step system for use with dual action/orbital polishers, Revitalise compounds tackle the whole process from restoration of deeper defects, through polishing away swirling, and refining paint to a perfect finish. These can be tailored in their use on a job-by-job basis, depending on the condition of the paintwork to be machined, as the system covers the entire spectrum from coarse cutting to fine finishing compounds.
Revitalise No:3 Refining Compound: Used to finish down paint for a flawless, fine cut surface. Can remove any potential fine marks and leftover residue from previous polishing steps. Cut Level 2/5.
One Step All-In-One Compound: Designed to remove scratches and heavy swirl marks, and then refine down to a near-perfect finish,
One Step All-in-One Compound has been specifically developed for use with our machine polishers. Containing active diminishing abrasives that break down from a coarse/medium compound to a fine refining compound, One-Step offers a much wider range of cut than traditional compounds. This means that you can cycle through the cutting, polishing and refining stages without the need to change products, or machine polishing pads. The course cutting particles quite literally fracture into smaller and smaller refining particles as you work them through, and the result is a flawless finish, achieved in just one step. One-Step contains no fillers, the final finish is the true finish, and this makes it perfect to use in conjunction with
