“Gloss detailing” is the art of turning tired paint into a mirror that makes magpies jealous. The proper routine is decon wash, iron remover, clay bar, then machine polish—start with a cutting compound to level swirls, finish with a finishing polish for that wet look. Seal it with a quality wax, sealant, or ceramic coating so the shine lasts beyond your next servo run. Use a dual-action polisher, measure paint if you can, and don’t go berserk on edges unless you like the colour of primer. Do the glass, trims, and tyres too—nothing ruins gloss like greyed plastics and chalky rubber. The result: fewer holograms, more oohs and aahs, and a car that looks faster sitting still.
