Jewelling
Jewelling is the final, ultra-fine finishing polish in paint correction, removing the last micro-haze to maximise gloss, clarity, and reflection depth.
What it means
Jewelling, also called burnishing, is the last and gentlest polishing step in a full paint correction. By the time a panel reaches this stage, the deeper defects have already been cut and refined away, but very fine haze and micro-marring from the earlier abrasive work can still soften the finish. Jewelling addresses exactly that. Using a soft finishing pad, an ultra-fine finishing polish, and a controlled machine speed, the detailer makes light, slow passes that break down the polish to its smallest particles and leave the clear coat optically flat. The result is a finish with maximum gloss, sharp reflection clarity, and the deep, wet-looking depth associated with show-quality detailing. Because it removes almost no clear coat, jewelling is about perfecting the surface rather than correcting it. It is often the final step before a ceramic coating is applied.
Why it matters in Singapore
Under Singapore's strong, direct sunlight, every flaw in a finish shows. Fine haze that hides indoors becomes obvious on a bright day in an open carpark, especially on dark cars. Jewelling clears that last layer of haze so the paint reads as deep and glassy in real conditions. It also gives a ceramic coating the flawless base it needs to look its best for years.
How Revol Carz handles this
Revol Carz treats jewelling as the signature final pass of a correction. After compounding and polishing, our detailers refine the panel with soft pads and a fine finishing polish at controlled speed, checking each section under strong light. Once the finish is flawless, the paint is ready for a ZeTough ceramic coating, which locks that clarity in.
