What Is Paint Correction?

Paint Correction is an intricate machine polishing process that removes imperfections from your vehicle's paint to reveal a deep, mirror-like, glossy finish. Paint Correction is a complete transformation of your vehicle's paintwork which requires time and expertise.

Over time swirl marks, water spots and minor scratches will leave your vehicle's paint looking dull. Paint Correction can usually remove these imperfections without the high cost and inconvenience of a respray at a body shop and bring back the feeling of a brand new car again.

Our 2 stage paint correction focuses on the heavier defects such as etchings, oxidation, swirls and moderate scratches. We carry out the cutting stage first, removing the heavy defects. Next we move onto the polishing stage to remove any hazing and refine the paint to an extreme gloss. This has a defect removal rate of 70%-90%, while restoring the paint’s finish to near perfection. This is a great option for well maintained and garage kept vehicles.

Our Process

The process starts off with a thorough hand wash, gently cleaning the wheels, wheel wells and entire body of the vehicle, removing all visible dirt and traffic film.
We carry out the paint decontamination stage, using a synthetic clay bar on the surface of the vehicle to remove the embedded contaminates that we cannot see. These contaminates make the paint’s surface feel rough and cannot be removed from a regular wash.
The paint correction step: this is where we remove swirl marks, scratches and gloss up your vehicles paint.
Next we wipe down the remaining polish residue to reveal that glossy finish and provide a clean slate to allow the paint protection to bond to the paint.
We then clean all exterior glass and windows leaving them streak free and apply a non-sling tyre dressing for UV protection and shine.
Your choice of either a 6 month spray sealant or ceramic coating.
