Paint Correction
With the paintwork never being the same on any 2 vehicles, it is very difficult to offer a 'set menu' package for paint correction / machine polishing services.
Instead, every vehicle is individually assessed and a bespoke detail tailored to suit a client's requirements or budget. This ethos applies whether it be a single stage machine polish focusing on gloss enhancement, through to extensive multi stage paint correction. Most of this work is charged on an hourly rate rather than a capped figure.
- Gloss enhancement
- Oxidised / weathered paint restoration
- Swirl mark / wash marring / buffer trail / hologram removal
- Hedge scratch removal
- Flatting / sanding 'pig tail' removal
