General Overview

Our Complete Service: Auto Exterior Detailing [2x Polish] offers a high-level paint enhancement and correction process for vehicles requiring deeper restoration. Through a precise two-stage machine polish, we first remove moderate swirl marks, haze, oxidation, and light scratches with a cutting compound, followed by a refining polish to restore depth and clarity.

This is a multi-day service performed at our studio in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, using only Koch Chemie’s professional-grade products. After polishing, we apply either a synthetic sealant or, optionally, a ceramic coating to protect and enhance the finish. Designed for both premium and mid-range cars, this treatment dramatically improves the paint’s gloss and visual impact.
