Gloss Restoration
Paint Correction
Remove swirls, haze and light defects safely. We correct only what’s needed to meet your goal — then protect it so it lasts.
Why correct the paint?
- Removes light swirls and haze that dull the finish
- Restores clarity and depth, especially on dark colours
- Improves coating/sealant bonding and durability
- Makes washing and drying easier (smoother surface)
We always start with a test spot and measure our approach — safe, controlled passes only.

Packages
Single-Stage Enhancement
- Full prep wash + chemical decon (iron & tar) + clay bar
- One polishing step to lift clarity & gloss
- Great for newer cars or lighter defects
Best match if you want a big jump in gloss without chasing every last defect.
Two-Stage Correction
- Full prep wash + chemical decon (iron & tar) + clay bar
- Cutting step to reduce visible defects, then a refining polish
- Ideal for darker colours or noticeably swirled/oxidised paint
We balance improvement with paint health — the goal is a long-term, high-quality finish.
Advanced Multi-Stage Correction (3+)
- Inspection-led plan for severe defects or finicky finishes

Which should I choose?
You’ll love Single-Stage if…
- Your car is fairly new or lightly swirled

- Time budget is tighter
Go Two-Stage if…
- It’s a darker colour showing obvious defects
- You want the finish closer to “showroom”
- You’re planning to ceramic coat afterwards
Choose Advanced if…

Popular add-ons

- Engine bay tidy & dress (where safe)
- Interior detail or shampoo (quoted if required)
Ask for a bundle if you’re coating after correction — we’ll package it fairly.
How we protect the result
After polishing, we apply a sealant as standard. For longer life and easier washing, upgrade to a ceramic coating. We’ll match the coating level to how you use the car — daily driver, weekend toy, or long-term keeper.
FAQs
- Will all scratches be removed?
- No — we safely reduce the appearance of defects without risking paint health. Some deep marks are best left or spot-treated.
- How long does it take?
- Single-Stage is typically a day; Two-Stage may take longer depending on vehicle size and condition. We’ll confirm after inspection.
- Do you wash & decontaminate first?
- Yes — safe wash, iron & tar removal, and clay bar are included. Polishing only happens on a clean, smooth surface.
- What if my car was recently resprayed?
- We’ll inspect the paint system and curing status first. Fresh resprays can be sensitive and may need extra time or a different approach.
We always confirm scope and expectations before we start. No surprises.
