    What single-stage polish involves

    A Single-Stage Polish is the appropriate choice where paintwork is fundamentally sound but has picked up light swirl marks and wash haze, typically from automatic car washes or poor washing technique. Paint depth is measured before work begins to confirm there is sufficient clear coat to work safely. A medium-cut polish is then machined across each panel to level light defects and restore gloss and clarity. Each panel is wiped down with isopropyl alcohol afterwards, which strips any polishing oils and reveals the true corrected finish rather than a temporarily filled one. Protection is not included and should be booked alongside.

    What's included

    • Paint depth measurement
    • Medium-cut machine polish
    • Light swirl removal
    • Gloss restoration
    • IPA wipe-down to verify correction

      Brought a 2014 Corsa from John in November 2025. John explained everything, gave me time to look around car, test drive for as long as I wanted. Car came with 3 month warranty. I had a problem a few weeks after purchase, where I unfortunately broke down, but this could have happened to anyone and would not have been something John would have known about. I contacted John he was super helpful and came to my home and fixed it on the weekend. He also topped up my petrol when taking car to workshop to fix. Amazing friendly service and best used car dealer I've dealt with. Would not hesitate to get a new car from John in future.

      I bought a 2009 Vauxhall Corsa from Zanom Ltd and had a great experience from start to finish. John was extremely helpful, giving me a thorough run-through of the car, delivering it to me for a test drive and happily answering questions I had a few days later. Really friendly, professional service and John has a great manner — easy to deal with and very reassuring. Highly recommend.

      Just bought my sons first car from Zanom Automotive. Great experience from start to finish, not hassled or pressured and John was very friendly and happy to tell me about the car and what things may need doing. Paid a deposit and I was offered the option of delivery which saved me a lot of hassle and was much appreciated. The whole process was easy and friendly. I would have no problem recommending Zanom to anyone looking to buy a car.

      We bought a used car from Zanom Automotive about a month ago and we had a great experience. The seller was easy to talk to, told us what's been done to the car by him and what bit may need some attention. We've had no issues with the car. 10/10 for overall quality!
