PAINT CORRECTION
Remove swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and oxidation — restoring a deep, mirror-like finish to your paintwork.
What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing surface defects from your vehicle's clear coat using machine polishing. Swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and oxidation are all levelled out — revealing the true depth and gloss of your paint beneath.
It's a skilled, time-intensive process that can take one to two full days depending on the condition of your paintwork. The results are transformative — particularly on darker coloured vehicles where swirls and holograms are most visible.
Is This Right for You?
Paint correction is ideal if your car's finish has lost its depth and clarity, or if you're preparing for a ceramic coating — correction should always be done first to ensure the coating locks in a flawless finish.

Single Stage vs Multi-Stage
The number of polishing stages depends on the severity of the defects in your paintwork. We'll assess your paint before quoting so you know exactly what's needed.
Single Stage
From £330
Ideal for vehicles in good overall condition with light swirling and minor surface marks. One polishing pass removes the majority of defects and restores gloss.
Multi-Stage
From £450
For vehicles with heavier defects, deeper scratches or significant oxidation. Multiple polishing compounds are used progressively to achieve the best possible finish.

Common Questions
How long does paint correction take?
Typically one to two full days depending on the size of the vehicle and the severity of the defects. We'll give you a more accurate timeframe when we assess your paintwork.
Will it remove all scratches?
Paint correction removes surface-level defects within the clear coat. Deep scratches that have cut through to the primer or bare metal cannot be polished out — we'll flag any of these during the initial assessment.
Should I get a ceramic coating afterwards?
We strongly recommend it. Ceramic coating locks in the corrected finish and protects it for years. Correction without protection means the swirls will gradually return. We offer a combined correction + coating package — just ask when you enquire.
Do you come to my location?
Yes — we're fully mobile. We carry our own equipment and water supply. We do need access to a power source, so a standard outdoor socket or garage is ideal.
