K Shine is a car detailing business in Bell Block, New Plymouth, listed at Silvan Place. It offers machine polishing, from a single-step polish to wet sanding, to remove etching, swirl marks and water spots and leave a mirror finish, for both old and new cars. Its ceramic coatings are applied by hand to the paint, plastics and glass, and the business says they bond with the car's clear coat and last longer than wax. A hydrophobic protective coating is also offered, which the website says lasts up to three months. All coatings include a free yearly maintenance wash. The business now also cleans motorbikes, from a basic clean to paint correction and ceramic coating.
