Paint Correction
Paint Correction & Polishing
Multi-stage machine polishing that removes swirls, scratches and oxidation for good — not a wax or glaze hiding them for a few weeks.
What's included
Paint Correction & Polishing, end to end
Swirls, buffer trails, water spots and oxidation live in the clear coat, not on top of it. Machine polishing removes a measured fraction of that clear coat to level the surface, which is why the defects genuinely disappear instead of being filled in and hidden until the next wash.
- Paint thickness readings before and after
- Decontamination wash and clay bar
- One to three machine polishing stages
- Panel wipe and inspection between stages
- Sealant or ceramic coating to finish
- Before-and-after photographs
We take paint thickness readings before we touch anything, then work in stages: a cutting step to remove defects, a refining step to bring back clarity and gloss, and a panel wipe between stages so nothing sits between the paint and its protection. The finish is inspected under correction lighting and photographed before and after.

How it works
From inspection to handover
The prep is what separates a coating that lasts from one that fails in a year, so nothing here gets skipped.
Inspection & quote
We look at the paint under correction lighting, take thickness readings and recommend the package that actually suits the vehicle.
Decontamination wash
A pH-neutral hand wash followed by iron, tar and clay treatment, so the paint is genuinely bare before anything else happens.
Paint correction
Machine polishing removes swirls, scratches and oxidation — one stage or several, depending on what the paint needs.
Coating or sealant
Protection is applied panel by panel in a controlled, dust-free bay, then left to cure properly before the vehicle moves.
Handover
We walk you through the finish and the wash routine that keeps it looking like this for the life of the coating.
