PAINT CORRECTION

Paint correction with polishing is a process that removes imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and dullness from a car's paint. Using special polishing tools and compounds, it smooths the paint, restoring a glossy, like-new finish and protecting it from further damage.

ADVANTAGES

  • GLOSS & CLARITY: Polishing restores depth and vibrance to your paint, removing haze and dullness. Your car’s paint will regain its showroom-quality shine, making it look newer and more refined.

  • IMPROVED PROTECTION: By eliminating imperfections that can trap dirt, polishing creates a smoother surface that repels contaminants more effectively. This reduces the risk of oxidation, fading, and minor abrasions.

  • VALUE PRESERVATION: A polished, flawless paint finish can significantly boost your car’s value by removing minor defects, helping you maintain its appeal and integrity over time.

STAGE 1 POLISH

Stage 1 polishing is a single-step polishing process designed to remove minor surface imperfections, such as light swirl marks, faint scratches, and mild hazing. This level of polishing is ideal for newer or well-maintained cars that just need a touch-up to bring out their shine.

​

Process:

  • A fine, single-step polish is applied with a polishing pad to smooth the surface, addressing light scratches and enhancing gloss.

  • Typically uses a finishing polish with minimal abrasiveness to achieve a clean, reflective look without overly thinning the paint.

 

Benefits:

  • Quick and Effective: Stage 1 is efficient, bringing back your car’s shine with minimal downtime.

  • Surface-Level Correction: Removes light scratches and swirl marks that diminish gloss, while maintaining most of the original paint.

  • Enhanced Gloss: Adds a brilliant shine, making the paint look crisp and fresh.

 

Ideal For:

  • Regular maintenance

  • Newer vehicles with minor imperfections

  • Cars that have been regularly detailed and well cared for.

STAGE 2 POLISH

Stage 2 polishing is a more intensive, two-step correction process tailored to cars with moderate paint damage. This level of polishing addresses deeper scratches, visible swirl marks, oxidation, and other noticeable defects, restoring the paint’s original clarity and gloss. It’s a thorough process suited for older vehicles, neglected paint, or cars preparing for a long-term coating like ceramic.

 

Process:

  • Step 1: A medium-cut compound is applied with a heavier polishing pad to remove deeper imperfections, like scratches and oxidation, that are visible to the naked eye.

  • Step 2: A finer finishing polish is used with a softer pad to refine the surface, enhancing gloss and removing any remaining minor imperfections.

 

Benefits:

  • Intensive Correction: Reduces or removes visible scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks for a smooth, high-gloss finish.

  • Enhanced Clarity & Depth: Stage 2 brings out the paint’s depth and clarity, creating a rich, glossy look that enhances color vibrancy.

  • Perfect Prep for Coating: Provides a clean, defect-free surface ideal for ceramic coatings or other protective layers, maximising coating adhesion and effectiveness.

 

Ideal For:

  • Cars with moderate paint damage

  • Older vehicles

  • Those with oxidation

  • Vehicles in need of comprehensive paint restoration before applying a protective coating.
