Island Detail FAQs
What is a cut polish?
Cut polishing is a 2 step process which is used to remove surface scratches, light oxidation and swirl/haze marks left from environmental contaminants on your car’s clear coat. Firstly the paintwork is machine polished with a very fine cutting polish which will safely remove the paints imperfections and then a layer of wax is added for a depth of shine. A cut polish prolongs the life of the detailing and gets you much more bang for the buck.
Do you use environmentally friendly cleaning products? Do you use harmful chemicals?
We are committed to the health and safety of our employees, our clients, and our beautiful city. We use environmentally friendly, water soluble detailing products at every opportunity and are always seeking out new ways to leave the lightest possible footprint while doing an exceptional job for our customers.
Island Color FAQs
I have something that needs fixing outside of your standard services menu, how do I get a quote?
No problem at all. Just head over to our contact page and let us know some details about what you need. Calling us is the fastest way to get an answer, but if it is after hours or the weekend, use our contact form and submit a photo of the damage you need sorted out.
Do you use clear coat?
Yes we do. At Island Color we use clear coat whenever we do bumper repair and paint chip repair. This step is essential to help match up the paint as well as to protect the finished product.
Do you sand the bumpers when you do bumper repairs?
Yes we sand the bumpers down before we repair them. This helps to ensure the new paint has a surface it can adhere to, which in turn creates a better finished product as well as one that lasts.
Do you offer mobile service?
Unfortunately, no. Due to the complexity of painting and potential overspray on location, you will receive a much better quality of service by dropping off your vehicle at our paint shop.
