Single-stage versus two-stage correction
Single-stage work uses one compound-and-refine step and is suited to lighter swirl marks and loss of gloss. Two-stage work uses a heavier cutting stage followed by refinement, making it better for more established defects while restoring clarity.

What affects the cost
Paint condition matters more than the badge on the bonnet. We consider panel size, paint hardness, previous repairs, remaining clear-coat depth and the number of safe machine-polishing stages needed.
Why paint depth is checked first
Correction removes a controlled amount of clear coat to level defects. Measuring every panel helps us identify thin areas and previous repairs, then choose the safest realistic result instead of chasing an unsafe percentage.
