Car polishing and paint correction

Dull, swirled or faded paint brought back to a shine, without a respray.

What the job involves

Paint correction is machine polishing. It takes a very fine layer off the top of the clear coat, and with it the swirl marks, light scratches and dull patches that make paint look tired. A full car polish does that across every panel and brings back the depth of the colour.

It is also the last step after a repair or a respray, when the new paint is polished so it sits right with the rest of the car.

What we take on

  • Full car polishing
  • Paint correction for swirls and light marks
  • Polishing after a repair or a respray

Questions about car polishing and paint correction

What is the difference between a polish and paint correction?

They are the same kind of work. Paint correction is the careful machine polishing that removes swirl marks and light scratches from the clear coat. A full car polish does that over the whole car.

Will polishing remove a deep scratch?

No. Polishing only works on marks in the clear coat. A scratch that has gone through the paint needs to be repaired and painted.
