What is paint correction?
Removing damage, not hiding it
Paint correction uses machine polishers and abrasive compounds to level the clear coat, permanently removing swirls and scratches instead of filling them in like a wax or glaze.
- Removes swirl marks from car washes and bad drying
- Reduces light scratches and water spots
- Brings faded, oxidised paint back to life
- The best base before ceramic coating

Our process
How we correct your paint
Wash, decontaminate & inspect
Full decontamination, then we inspect under detailing lights and measure paint depth.
Cut & refine
Machine compounding removes defects, then a finishing polish brings out maximum gloss.
Protect
A sealant or ceramic coating locks in the finish so it stays swirl-free longer.
FAQ
Paint correction questions
How much does paint correction cost in Auckland?
It depends on your car's size, condition and the package you choose. Request a free, no-obligation quote and you'll get an exact price before any work starts.
Can paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes swirls and light scratches in the clear coat. Scratches you can catch with a fingernail usually go through the clear coat and can only be reduced, not removed.
Is paint correction safe for my paint?
Yes, when done properly. We measure paint thickness first and only remove the minimum clear coat needed.
How long does paint correction last?
The correction itself is permanent, but new swirls will appear with poor washing. A ceramic coating helps keep the finish swirl-free.
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?
We recommend it. Coating locks in the corrected finish and makes the car much easier to keep clean.
