What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the professional process of removing minor imperfections such as swirl marks, fine scratches, and oxidation from your car’s paintwork.
Using machine polishing and precision compounds, our paint correction specialists carefully refine the surface to restore clarity and depth.
Unlike quick fixes or basic valeting, car paint correction services deliver long-lasting improvement — revealing the true, glossy colour beneath the damage.
This process is often followed by paint detailing to enhance and protect your freshly corrected finish.

Before any paint correction is undertaken, a thorough wash and decontamination of the vehicle is performed. Paintwork is properly washed and cleaned to remove any loose dirt and debris, then after the wash process the vehicle is clayed with a specialist automotive clay bar, which safely removes any bonded surface contaminants such as tar spots and industrial fallout.
In conclusion, paint correction is the process of removing surface scratches and imperfections from a vehicles paintwork, which involves the use of machine polishers and a range of different polish products. A fully corrected vehicle when viewed in direct sunlight will show only true reflections and no swirl marks, scratches or blemishes will be visible to the naked eye.
Lastly, it is important to distinguish between paintwork that has been truly corrected and paintwork that has been treated with products that are designed to mask and fill surface imperfections such as an all in one polish for example. This should not be referred to as paint correction even if no scratches or blemishes are apparent, because they have not been genuinely removed and are still present under the products fillers, which in time, will wash away and reveal them once more.

Stage 2 Paint Correction
Recommended for paintwork with moderate swirl marks, scratches, or dullness.
For older cars, or those with with more severe “heavy swirls” paint defects or oxidisation the Stage 2 detail will make a huge difference to the overall finish.
In most cases, it will leave your paintwork in “as new” condition.
Our Stage 2 correction detail is designed for vehicles with ‘medium’ level paint defects.
Poor hand washing techniques and automated car washes will leave your car covered in swirl marks and scratches, which result in a dull looking finish and reduced depth of colour.
Other defects that can be removed with this process are light tree scratches, acid rain etchings, ‘buffer trails / holograms’ left by body shops or incompetent detailers, and bird dropping stains.
With dark coloured vehicles the more noticeable these defects will be.
The Stage 2 correction process consists of two stages: firstly, a heavy stage abrasive machine polishing stage removes a very fine layer of the clearcoat, and the surface defects along with it.
However, this stage leaves its own very fine, hazy marring behind.
The Second, we use a much more gentle machine polishing process to carry out a refining stage – which brings the car up to the exceptional gloss you’d expect which will surpass that of a new car finish.
