Swirl marks, light scratches and dull, oxidised paintwork can make even a well-looked-after car look tired. Our paint correction service uses machine polishing and graded compounds to restore clarity and depth to your paintwork.
We assess your paint’s condition before recommending the right level of correction, from a light single-stage polish to a full multi-stage correction for more heavily marked panels. The result is a smoother, glossier finish that also makes any protective coating or wrap perform better.
Paint correction is a popular choice ahead of selling a car, before applying PPF or ceramic coating, or simply to bring tired paintwork back to life. We’ll talk you through what’s achievable before any work begins.
We use a multi-stage process of clay decontamination, machine polishing and graded compounds matched to your paint’s condition, so we remove defects without removing more clear coat than necessary. The result is a deeper, glossier finish that also helps any wax, sealant or PPF applied afterwards perform better.

Done properly, paint correction doesn’t just hide imperfections, it genuinely restores the depth and clarity of your paintwork, ready for protection or just for showing off.
Paint correction can reduce the appearance of light to moderate scratches and swirl marks, but very deep scratches may need touch-up paint or a respray.
Depending on the level of correction needed, this can range from a few hours to a full day.
Yes, when carried out correctly, paint correction removes only a small amount of clear coat, well within safe limits.
Yes, correcting the paint first gives the best possible surface for any protective coating or film to bond to.
Most cars only need it occasionally, typically before selling, after sun/swirl damage builds up, or before applying long-term protection.
