Joe did an incredible job on our family SUV. The interior had years of dog hair and stains — came out looking brand new. Couldn't believe the result.

Paint correction removes the majority of swirl marks, scratches and paint defects — restoring your car's finish to near-showroom condition. The highest-impact service we offer.
What's Involved
What paint correction does
Paint correction is a multi-stage machine polishing process that removes defects from the top layer of your car's clear coat — the microscopic scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation that dull and age your paint over time.
- Machine polishing — removes majority of swirls and scratches
- Paint depth measurement to protect your clear coat
- Full decontamination wash before correction begins
- Clay bar to remove bonded contaminants
- Panel-by-panel correction under inspection lights
- Final wax or sealant to protect corrected paint
From $700 — exact price depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and number of correction stages required. Joe will quote after seeing the car.

Is It Right for Your Car?
When paint correction is worth it
If your car's paint looks dull, hazy, or covered in fine scratches under sunlight — paint correction is the answer. Common causes:
- Automatic car wash swirl marks
- Fine scratches from poor washing technique
- Bird dropping or tree sap etching
- Sun oxidation on older paint
- Light panel damage or scuffing
Paint correction is also the ideal preparation before applying a ceramic coating — starting with a defect-free surface maximises the coating's clarity and protection.
Duration: Full day, typically 6–8 hours. The car needs to be available all day.

Questions
Paint Correction FAQ
- Will paint correction remove all scratches?Paint correction removes the majority of surface defects — swirls, fine scratches, and light marring in the clear coat. Deep scratches that go through to the primer or base coat cannot be corrected by polishing and would require touch-up paint or panel work first. Joe will assess your car before starting.
- How long does paint correction last?The correction itself is permanent — the defects are physically removed. However, new swirls can occur over time from improper washing or use. Following up paint correction with a ceramic coating provides ongoing protection and maintains the finish far longer.
- Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?Yes — if you're investing in paint correction, ceramic coating is the logical next step. It protects the corrected paint from new defects and keeps it cleaner and glossier for years. Ask about combining both services for a better overall price.
- How do I know if my car needs paint correction?Look at your car in direct sunlight or under a bright light. If you can see swirling marks, haze, or fine scratches in the paint — paint correction will dramatically improve it. Not sure? Call 0400 214 484 and describe what you're seeing.
