Paint Correction is the process of removing surface imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidisation, water marks and etching. This involves the use of a series of specialist polishes and machine polishers. We don’t begin any polishing of your vehicle before we have taken multiple paint thickness readings to ensure we have built up sufficient knowledge of your vehicle’s paintwork. The art of paint correction is not to be confused with a ‘quick buff’ or ‘mop’ generally offered by body shops or garages. It is a meticulous, time consuming process that requires technique, patience and skill. For new vehicles or those with only minor defects, a single-stage machine polish will correct and enhance the finish of your vehicle. Darker coloured vehicles may require a second stage polish to refine the paintwork. Older vehicles or those with deeper defects may require at least a two-stage polish to achieve a perfect finish. The major steps in a Paint Correction consist of : The vehicle is foamed and rinsed to safely remove the majority of loose dirt and grime Door jams, wheels, arches, engine bay cleaned Washed using the safe two bucket method and ultra soft wash mitt Clayed to remove contamination bonded to the surface Rinsed and dried using quality microfibre cloths Paint cleansed to prepare for polishing Extensive paint thickness readings taken and paint inspected for defects All areas not to be polished (plastic trim, rubbers, badges etc.) are masked up to protect during the polishing stage Machine-polish paintwork using a series of specialist polishes and machines Rewash vehicle to remove polishing excess (if required) Prepare paintwork for sealant/wax A premium sealant is applied to protect the freshly polished paintwork Exterior trim, door jams, wheels, tyres and engine bay dressed     You may choose to upgrade to a premium carnauba wax - don’t worry if you’re not sure which; we’re always happy to recommend a product best suited to your vehicle and needs. A Single-Stage Paint Correction costs from £195* and a Two-Stage Paint Correction from £250*. If your vehicle requires extra stages to correct the paintwork, this will usually be charged on an hourly basis. *The 'from' price represents the typical price for a 'small/medium' car.   © Privilege Detail | Sitemap Website Design by WebCreationUK
