Car body polishing in Kenya

Offer body polishing after an assessment of paint condition.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: A competent detailer’s paint assessment and one bonnet test section, followed by whole-bonnet polishing only if approved and supported for the actual coating. Exclude body-shop repairs, deep scratches, unknown failing paint and guarantees of removing every defect. Paint correction is not sold as unlimited abrasion.

Who is the first customer?
