YOUR FINISH, REFINEDFrom $525

01 / THE DIFFERENCE

Clean is the starting point.
Clarity is the next step.

THE ART OF PAINT REFINEMENT

More than a wash.
A refinement of the paint.

A wash removes dirt. Paint correction addresses suitable imperfections in the clear coat through carefully selected machine polishing. Light reflects more clearly, revealing depth that washing alone can’t restore.

01

Less visible swirling

Refine the fine wash marks that catch the light, even when your car is clean.

02

Clearer reflections

Reduce surface haze for a crisper, more defined reflection across the panels.

03

Deeper gloss

Bring out the richness of the paint and the lines that made you love the car.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR CAR?

A daily driver with wash marks. A used car ready for a refresh. Paint you want to refine before ceramic coating.

Deep damage may need repair. Matte finishes, wraps and paint protection film need a different care approach—tell us about them before booking.

03 / THE PROCESS

Care in every step.
Clarity at every stage.

From the first inspection to the final reflection, here’s what your car’s visit involves.

01Assess the finishUnderstand the paint. Agree the plan.

We review visible marks, previous polishing or repairs, and the areas you care about most. We discuss what can improve, what should remain and the scope of work before starting.

02Prepare the surfaceA clean foundation for careful polishing.

Washing and decontamination remove dirt and bonded contamination as required. This lets us assess the surface clearly and prepare it for machine polishing.

03Refine the paintThe right approach, panel by panel.

We select the polishing approach around the paint and agreed scope, inspecting the finish as the work progresses. The aim is a worthwhile improvement while respecting the limits of the surface.

04Review & plan the careKnow your finish. Know what comes next.

We review the finish, discuss any remaining marks and explain the care it needs next. Any additional protection is agreed for your vehicle, so you know how to look after the result.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

How long will you need my car?

The current appointment estimate is 5 hours. Vehicle size, paint condition and the agreed correction can change that timing. We confirm drop-off and collection arrangements for your visit.

Will every scratch disappear?

No. Deep scratches, stone chips and failing paint may need repair instead. Removing too much material to chase a mark can be the wrong choice. We explain the realistic improvement after inspecting your paint.

Is ceramic coating included?

Only when it is expressly included in your agreed scope. Correction refines the finish; ceramic coating is a separate protection service. We can discuss both together.

What should I tell you before booking?

Share your car’s make, model and the marks that bother you. Mention previous polishing, repainting, coatings, wraps or paint protection film. Photos help start the conversation, but the paint still needs an in-person assessment.
