The Service Explained

What does paint
correction actually do?

Paint correction uses professional machine polishing to remove or significantly reduce imperfections in the vehicle's clear coat.

Imperfections we can reduce

  • Swirl marks
  • Light scratches
  • Haze
  • Oxidation
  • Water spotting
  • Poor gloss
  • Previous poor polishing marks

The result

  • Greater gloss
  • Improved colour
  • Improved clarity
  • Cleaner reflections
  • Significantly improved overall appearance

Not every scratch can or should be removed. The objective is to achieve the best safe improvement while preserving the integrity of the paintwork.

The Process

What happens to
your vehicle?

1

Safe Wash

Thorough exterior wash to safely remove loose contamination before any polishing begins.

2

Decontamination

Chemical and physical decontamination where required, lifting bonded fallout that washing alone can't shift.

3

Paint Inspection

The paintwork is assessed and paint depth measured before polishing begins, so we work within safe tolerances.

4

Machine Polishing

The selected enhancement or correction process is carried out using professional machine polishers, compounds and pads.

5

Refinement

Where required, the finish is refined with a finer polish and finishing pad to maximise gloss and clarity.

6

Protection

The selected protection or ceramic coating is applied to the fully corrected surface to lock in the result.

7

Final Inspection

The finished vehicle is checked under multiple light sources before being returned to you.
