Paint correction
Machine polishing in one, two or three stages to remove swirls, haze and light scratches.
Paint correction in three stages
Clear coat is thin: about the thickness of a sheet of paper. Each stage removes more swirls and uses a little more of it, so we measure every panel first and stop where your paint allows.
Enhancement polish
One polishing step with a fine pad. Lifts the haze and light wash marring, and brings the gloss back.
Swirls removed
about 50–60%
Clear coat used
1–2 µm

Two-stage correction

The swatches show how much of the swirling is left after each stage. Shares and microns are typical figures (sample); your own test spot decides. Example prices for a medium car.
What polishing cannot fix
- Scratches through the clear coat: if your nail catches, it needs paint
- Stone chips: we can fill them with touch-up paint, but they stay visible up close
- Faded or peeling clear coat on roofs and bonnets
- Panels that measure too thin to polish safely
We tell you after the measurements and the test spot, before any work is charged.
