Prices

What polishing costs in Tønsberg

The prices below are the base price for a small car and are read straight from our catalogue. They are the same figures the booking shows when you pick a time, and none of them is a starting price with a supplement hidden behind it.

The size supplement is a percentage rather than a category: an SUV adds 30 per cent and a van 40 per cent, because more square metres of paint means more passes with the machine, more product and more hours. No observed car-care operator in Tønsberg states their own size supplement as a number.

The whole town sits inside the free travel zone, so the arithmetic is short: one row in the table, plus a size supplement if it applies. That is the total.

Choose a step

Which step does your paint need?

Steps are the number of passes over the paint, not a quality ladder where the most expensive is always right. A young car with light swirls does not come out prettier from three steps than from one — it just stands still for twelve hours instead of five.

Look at the paint in hard side light, ideally with a torch in the dark. Fine circles and a grey haze are wash swirls. If you can see individual scratches clearly but cannot feel them with a fingernail, they are still in the clear coat and can be polished out.

  • 1-step

    NOK 2,399 · around 5 hours

    One polishing pass that lifts the gloss and takes the lightest scratches. The right choice when the paint is in good condition.

    • Light swirl marks and dull gloss
    • Newer cars and hand-washed paint
    • The same polish included in the sale preparation detail

  • 2-step

    NOK 3,699 · around 8 hours

    Cutting that removes a large share of the scratches, then refinement that clears the working marks and brings deep gloss.

    • Visible scratches and wash marks across the car
    • A used car, or paint after a few winters of brush washes
    • What most people land on

  • 3-step

    NOK 6,499 · around 12 hours

    Cutting, polishing and a dedicated finishing pass. Removes most scratches and wash marks and leaves a gloss close to a new car.

    • Dark paint, where every scratch shows
    • The preparation before ceramic coating — then it is inside the NOK 8,999
    • A full working day at the car

How we work

How polishing works at your door

We come to the address you give us, with our own water, our own power and the whole kit on board. You do not have to provide anything, and the car does not have to move.

The order is the same every time, because it has to be: a polishing machine on dirty paint grinds the dirt into the paint instead of taking it off.

  1. Wash and degrease

    Foam pre-wash, a two-bucket hand wash, wheels and arches, then degreasing. Nothing is wiped with anything that was just on the ground.

  2. Decontamination

    Clay pulls out iron fallout, tar and everything else embedded in the paint. Run a hand over it afterwards and it is glass-smooth — the condition for the machine to work evenly.

  3. Polishing, step by step

    Machine polishing panel by panel, with an inspection under work lights between passes. The number of passes is the step you chose.

  4. Inspection and protection

    We walk the car in side light with you before packing up. To keep the result longer, wax protection or ceramic coating can go on at the end.

What we need from you

Room around the car — about one extra car length, so every panel is reachable — and dry working conditions. Polishing does not tolerate rain on the paint, so we need either dry weather or a carport, garage or roof over the car. If the forecast turns, we move the appointment free of charge. Water and power we bring ourselves.

The area

We drive to all of Tønsberg

The base is Skiringsalgaten 6 B in 3116 Tønsberg, in the middle of town. The first five kilometres are included in the price, and that covers the centre, Eik in 3133, Sem in 3170, Barkåker, Husvik, Træleborg and Kilen. All of Tønsberg is inside the free zone.

We work where the car stands: in the driveway, in the car park at work, or in the visitor bay at your housing association. A polish takes hours rather than minutes, so it is worth thinking about where the car can stand undisturbed the longest. The space is left as we found it.

Paint here gets its own treatment in winter: road salt from the county roads, grit from the roadside bins and damp sea air off the canal. It is the grit that makes the swirl marks people bring us in spring, especially when the car has been through a brush wash in between. Underbody salt removal can be added for NOK 499.

Questions and answers

Common questions about polishing in Tønsberg

What does car polishing cost in Tønsberg?

A 1-step polish costs NOK 2,399, a 2-step NOK 3,699 and a 3-step NOK 6,499 — base price for a small car. An SUV adds 30 per cent and a van 40 per cent, calculated before you book. All of Tønsberg is inside the free travel zone, so nothing is added for driving.

How long does a polish take?

Allow around five hours for a 1-step, eight for a 2-step and twelve for a 3-step. A large part of that goes on washing, degreasing and decontamination before the machine even starts. We are open every day, 09:00–20:00, so a 3-step is normally booked early in the day.

Does polishing remove every scratch?

No, and it is worth knowing in advance. Polishing removes scratches that sit in the clear coat. If you can feel the scratch with a fingernail it usually goes deeper, and only repainting helps. We look the car over and say so before we start if something cannot be polished out.

Does the car have to go to a workshop?

No. We polish where the car stands. Water, power and equipment are on our van, so you provide nothing. What we need is room around the car and dry working conditions — either dry weather or a carport, garage or roof. If the forecast turns, we move the slot free of charge.

Should I add protection after polishing?

Polishing removes paint defects but does not protect on its own. Wax protection is the simple layer and goes on during the same visit. Ceramic coating at NOK 8,999 is the hard option, and there the three-step polish is already included — the same work, with a seal at the end.

What does polishing cost for an SUV or a van?

An SUV adds 30 per cent and a van 40 per cent to the base price. The supplement is calculated in the booking before you pay, so you see the whole total rather than a size category. No observed competitor in Tønsberg states their own supplement as a percentage.
