Frequently asked questions
Should I have ceramic coating after correction?
It is the ideal next step, because coating locks in the corrected finish and protects it for years. A sealant or wax also works if coating is not what you want yet.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is multi-stage machine polishing that removes defects from the clear coat: swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and haze. It restores depth, gloss and clarity rather than just hiding defects under a filler or wax.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation very effectively. Scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot be polished out completely, though they can often be improved. We assess the paint first and explain honestly what correction can and cannot achieve.
Is machine polishing safe for my paint?
When done properly, yes. Paint is assessed first, the least aggressive approach that achieves the result is used, and panels are checked as work progresses. That is why correction is a skilled job rather than a quick buff.
How much does paint correction cost?
From £250 for multi-stage correction. Single-stage machine polishing is from £95 and two-stage from £150. Prices vary by vehicle size and paint condition, so contact us for a free quote.
