While polishing enhances gloss, paint correction is a more intensive process that permanently removes defects like swirl marks, bird lime etching, and scratches. We use multi-stage machine polishing and abrasive compounds to level the clear coat, ensuring a flawless surface rather than just hiding imperfections with waxes or fillers.

The timeframe depends on the condition of your vehicle and the level of correction required. A single-stage gloss enhancement may take 4 to 6 hours, while a multi-stage major correction can take 1 to 2 days. Because we provide mobile car detailing in London, we ensure a meticulous finish right at your location.

Paint correction can safely remove light-to-medium scratches that haven't bypassed the clear coat. A good rule of thumb is the "fingernail test"—if your nail catches in the scratch, it may require a touch-up or professional respray. However, our machine polishing can significantly improve the appearance of even the deepest marks.

Yes, when performed by professionals. We use digital paint thickness gauges to measure your clear coat before we begin. This ensures we only remove the microscopic layer necessary to level the surface, preserving the integrity and longevity of your vehicle’s paintwork.
