What Paint Correction Will Do For Your Car
Over time, washing, automatic car washes, poor drying techniques and environmental exposure leave your paint covered in fine scratches. In sunlight these show up as swirl marks and dullness. Paint correction permanently removes these defects — not masks them.
- ✓ Permanently removes swirl marks and light scratches
- ✓ Eliminates haze, oxidation and wash marring
- ✓ Restores depth and clarity to your paint
- ✓ Dramatically increases gloss and reflection
- ✓ Improves the appearance of darker and metallic paints
- ✓ Prepares the surface for ceramic coating application
- ✓ Increases overall vehicle presentation and resale appeal
Paint correction is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can do to a vehicle. The difference between corrected and uncorrected paint in direct sunlight is dramatic — and unlike a polish or wax, it’s permanent. Because it needs controlled lighting and paint-depth measurement to be done safely, we carry out full correction at our Corbould Park studio.
Our Studio Process
Full multi-stage correction is carried out at our Corbould Park studio, where we have the controlled lighting, paint-depth gauges and dust-free bay the job demands. Every correction starts with thorough preparation — we don’t rush this, because proper prep is what separates a safe, effective correction from one that damages your paint.
-
01Visual Inspection We assess your paint under LED lighting and direct sunlight to identify defects before any work begins.
-
02Paint Thickness Measurement We take depth readings on every panel using a paint gauge — ensuring we work safely within your available clear coat.
-
03Decontamination Wash Multi-step wash removes bonded contaminants and iron fallout before any machine polishing begins.
-
04Machine Polishing Professional equipment and premium compounds carefully level the clear coat to permanently remove defects and restore gloss.
-
05Final Inspection Every panel inspected under LED lighting before handover to ensure it meets our standard.
Mobile Cut and Polish
If your paint is in reasonable condition and you just want a quick gloss refresh, our cut and polish is the lighter, more affordable option — and it’s fully mobile, so we come to you. It brings back shine and knocks back light marring, but it’s not the full multi-stage correction (that’s a studio job). From $399.
Not sure which you need? Send us a couple of photos of your paint in sunlight and we’ll tell you honestly whether a mobile cut and polish will do the job — or whether it’s worth booking the full studio correction.
Correct First. Protect Second.
Paint correction is the perfect preparation for a ceramic coating. A coating locks in whatever finish is underneath it — so correct first, then protect for the best long-term result. Both are done in one visit at our Corbould Park studio.
