Paint Correction Services

Correcting paint is a lengthy and labour-intensive task that removes defects and imperfections in paintwork, such as swirl marks, scratches, buffer trails, oxidation, and etching from bird droppings. By utilising the best products and safest techniques, we can transform paint in any condition to a whole new level of clarity and shine, without reducing the paint thickness.

Typically, we can ensure a full correction of over 95% of paint defects present (subject to paint depth and defect severity) with the process taking an average of 20 – 40 hours to complete. Correcting paint can frequently eliminate the need for an expensive respray and often restore the paintwork to a level superior to the original factory finish.

Following our paint correction process, clarity will be restored, and you will observe that light is perfectly reflected, with the colour of the vehicle greatly enhanced, resulting in a breathtaking finish, sometimes better than the day your vehicle left the factory.

Kindly note: Paint correction will not repair stone chips or scratches that have penetrated through the lacquer – these are beyond the scope of any machine polishing! Compromises must be made on areas with thin clear coat where it would be impractical to sacrifice lacquer and risk burning through.

2 Stage Machine Polish

Emphasises paint that has moderate swirl marks and light scratches and comprises two stages of machine polishing. Initially, an abrasive cut using a compound removes the swirls and light scratches. Next, the paintwork is refined with a finishing pad and polish to enhance the gloss after the cutting process. Our goal is to achieve approximately 80% defect correction.

Multi Stage Machine Polish

This tier of paint correction is tailored for paint that has heavy swirl marks, scratches, and other defects, involving multiple stages of machine polishing to pursue paint perfection, and can also include spot wet sanding for deeper scratches. Our objective is to achieve 90-95% defect correction.

FAQs Regarding Paint Correction

What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction involves refining and improving a vehicle’s paint surface by eliminating imperfections. These defects can include minor scratches, etched water spots, buffer holograms, paint overspray, bird droppings etching, oxidation, sanding marks, and other visible damage on the clear coat of your car.

After paint correction, several protection options are available, such as sealant, wax, and ceramic coatings. For optimal protection, ceramic coating is highly recommended due to its durability and long-lasting properties. For cars with low mileage, applying PPF paint protection film to high-impact areas is also advisable.

If you value and care deeply for your car, investing in paint correction is worthwhile. Besides enhancing the visual appeal with a high gloss finish, it can also increase the vehicle’s residual value.

The duration of the paint correction process can range from 20 to 40 hours, depending on the size of your vehicle and the condition of the paintwork. Each car necessitates a unique approach and a variety of compounds, polishes, and pads.
