Restore the Shine. Remove the Swirls.
Over time, your vehicle’s paint can lose its shine due to oxidation, micro-scratches, swirl marks, and harsh environmental conditions. Our Buffing Service is designed to restore depth, clarity, and gloss to your paintwork—bringing your car’s finish back to life.
At GoDrive, we use professional-grade machines, pads, and compounds to carefully revive your clear coat without causing damage. Whether you want to prep your car for ceramic coating, resale, or just bring back its original shine—buffing is the perfect solution.
✨ What Is Buffing?
Buffing (also called paint enhancement or single-stage correction) is a process where we use a dual-action polishing machine and specialized compounds to:
- Remove light scratches and swirl marks
- Minimize oxidation or dullness
- Enhance gloss and paint clarity
- Prepare the surface for wax or ceramic coating
It’s the fastest, most cost-effective way to make a tired paint job look refreshed without repainting.
