For vehicles with swirl marks, haze, wash marring or dull paintwork that no longer looks right even when clean.

When the finish has lost sharpness, gloss or clarity, routine washing stops feeling worthwhile because the vehicle still does not look how it should. The right level of correction restores the standard properly and creates a better baseline for protection and upkeep

Not every vehicle needs the same level of correction. Where a lighter route is enough to achieve the right improvement, that is what is recommended.

Who paint correction is for

Paint correction is suited to owners whose vehicle no longer looks as sharp, clear or refined as it should, even when clean.

Best suited to:

  • premium, performance and carefully kept daily vehicles
  • owners who notice when the finish has lost sharpness or gloss
  • vehicles where safe maintenance alone will not restore the standard
  • owners who want the paint improved properly before protection or upkeep continue

What paint correction solves

Correction is recommended where the issue is no longer just surface dirt or lack of protection, but visible defects and tired finish quality. The right route depends on how far the paint has slipped, what level of improvement you want, and how the vehicle will be maintained afterwards.

Typical issues include:

  • swirl marks
  • wash marring
  • haze
  • reduced gloss
  • dull or flat finish quality
  • loss of clarity under light

What to expect from the right level of correction

The aim is a sharper, cleaner, more refined finish that looks right again in natural light and under inspection lighting.

Depending on condition and the level chosen, correction can:

  • improve gloss
  • restore clarity
  • reduce visible defects
  • create a stronger baseline for protection and easier upkeep

Correction routes

Gloss & Clarity Enhancement

Choose this if: The paint has lost freshness and clarity, but a lighter correction route is the right fit. For lighter swirl marks, wash marring, haze and tired paintwork.

Outcome: Noticeably improve gloss, colour depth and overall presentation without heavier correction work.

Typical time:
Around 1 day.

Small — £400
Medium — £500
Large — £600

Greater Defect Reduction

Choose this if: The finish needs a stronger level of refinement and a more noticeable lift in overall presentation. For vehicles displaying more noticeable swirling, spider-webbing and wash damage.

Outcome: Greater correction, improved clarity and a sharper overall finish for owners wanting the vehicle brought closer to a higher visual standard. The first polishing stage concentrates on stronger defect reduction before a finer second stage refines the finish.

Small — £600
Medium — £700
Large — £800

Choose this if: If you want to achieve greater defect reduction, clarity, depth and gloss.

Outcome: Flawless paintwork for a concourse, jewelled finish that is second to non!

Small — £800
Medium — £900
Large — £1,000

Intensive paint correction for severely marked paintwork

For heavily swirled, scratched, weathered or previously poorly corrected paint requiring more intensive work than the standard correction range.

Controlled rotary correction may be used where appropriate before further refining and finishing.

This is an intensive panel-by-panel process typically requiring 15–20+ labour hours.

Small — £1,200
Medium — £1,400
Large — £1,600

What drives price?

Final pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition and the level of correction needed to achieve the right result safely.

Where a lighter route is enough, that is what is recommended. Where more correction is needed, that is made clear before booking.

Pricing factors

  • Vehicle size
  • Paint condition
  • Paint hardness
  • Level of defect removal required
  • Time needed for preparation and finishing

Frequently Asked Questions

Not always. Some vehicles only need a lighter route to achieve the right improvement. The recommendation depends on the paint’s actual condition and the result you want to achieve.

Photos can help give an initial view, especially in good light, but some vehicles may still need inspection before final pricing is confirmed.

In many cases, yes. Once the paint is corrected to the right baseline, protection helps preserve the finish and makes future upkeep easier.

That depends on how the vehicle is used and maintained afterwards. Good maintenance helps keep the finish from slipping backwards unnecessarily.

Because the time, preparation and scope vary with vehicle size, condition and previous history.
