The Process
How it's done
01
Paint depth reading
Every panel is measured and mapped before a single pad touches the car. We only remove what the clear coat can safely give.
02
Gloss enhancement
A light finishing polish that boosts clarity and removes minor oxidation — ideal for newer paint that needs a refresh rather than heavy correction.
03
Single-stage correction
A one-step compound-and-refine process that removes around 70% of surface defects such as swirl marks and light holograms.
04
Two-stage correction
Heavy microfibre cut followed by a medium polish to refine, removing up to 80% of defects while restoring gloss and depth.
05
Show car refinement
Sanding, rotary polishing and final refinement work that takes the finish as far as the paint will safely allow.
06
LED inspection
The finish is signed off under professional-grade inspection lighting, panel by panel.

Paint Correction FAQs
Which correction stage does my car need?
It depends on the paint condition and the result you want. Gloss enhancement suits newer paint, single-stage handles around 70% of defects, two-stage tackles heavier marring, and show-car work sands and refines for the absolute best finish.
How long does paint correction take?
Most single-stage corrections take a full day. Two-stage work is typically two to three days, and show car refinement can run longer depending on the paint's condition.
Will correction remove every scratch?
Anything within the clear coat can usually be removed. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat are improved rather than eliminated — we tell you honestly before we start.
Should I protect the paint afterwards?
Yes. Correction is the foundation; a ceramic coating locks in the finish and protects the work you've paid for.
