Two stage paint correction removing heavy swirl marks and scratches from car in Maidstone, Kent

Paint Correction

Two Stage Paint Correction

The highest level of machine polishing correction for heavily swirled, marred, or neglected paintwork. Remove 85 to 95% of defects permanently, leaving the paint restored to better-than-showroom condition.

The most comprehensive paint correction available.

When a vehicle has been poorly maintained, washed incorrectly for years, or has buffer trails from a previous bad detailer, a two stage paint correction is the solution. This intensive process is methodical, time-consuming, and requires experience and specialist equipment, but the results are transformative.

Stage one uses a heavy-cut abrasive compound to aggressively level the clear coat, removing the vast majority of deep swirls, scratches, and defects. Stage two uses a fine finishing polish to refine the surface left by stage one, eliminating any micro-marring from the cutting stage and maximising gloss, clarity, and depth.
