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.

1 Stage Paint Correction
Duration: 6+ Hours
Our 1 stage paint correction consists of removing minor defects such as light swirls, hazing and scratches. This has a defect removal rate of 40%-70%, with the main focus being to enhance gloss and clarity in the paint, leaving a great finish. This is a perfect option for daily drivers who want to improve the overall look of their vehicle and bring out the extra shine without the price of a full paint correction.
2 Stage Paint Correction
Duration: 8+ Hours
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.

A wax and paint correction are two completely different things. A wax does not have any cutting abilities, it is designed specifically to protect your vehicles paint against the weather elements, this can come in forms of a paste or liquid spray. In paint correction we use cutting compounds that have micro-abrasives to level and remove imperfections from the paint, this has no protective properties. Think of paint correction as extremely fine sanding to remove scratches, swirls, oxidation and more.
