What is paint correction?
Machine polishing that removes swirl marks and light scratches to restore depth and gloss. Often done before a ceramic coating; quoted after inspection.
Signs you need it
- Swirl marks visible in the sun
- Light scratches and hazing
- Before applying a ceramic coating
How it works
- Paint inspection and thickness check
- Wash and decontamination
- Machine polishing in one or more stages
- Wipe-down to reveal the true finish
- Optional protection (wax, sealant or coating)
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
How much does it cost?

Why it matters
Correction restores gloss and depth — the biggest visual upgrade you can make to existing paint.
