Machine polish out swirls, light scratches, oxidation and water marks. Restores paint to like-new clarity and depth. Mobile in London, or at our partner unit for deep correction work.
Paint correction is what removes the swirl marks, light scratches, hologram patterns and oxidation that build up over years of automatic car washes, sponges, and bad cleaning technique. We use professional rotary and dual-action machine polishers, multiple grades of compound and polish, and inspect under proper lighting between every pass.
This is a serious detailing service — typically 4-12 hours of work depending on car size and paint condition. Not a Mini Valet upgrade. We always inspect first, send you a quote with timing and price before we start, and never start work without sign-off.
No hidden fees. Pay online or on the day. Cancel free 12+ hours before.
Every job done to the same standard, by every detailer on our team.
Single-stage uses one polish to remove light defects and restore clarity. Suitable for newer cars with minor swirls from hand car washes, or careful owners who just want their paint refreshed.
Two-stage uses a compound first to remove deeper defects, then a refining polish to restore gloss. Required for: older cars with years of swirl build-up, lease cars that have seen too many automatic washes, pre-sale prep when paint matters for price.
We always inspect first and tell you which is appropriate. Honest take: most cars over 3 years old in London benefit from two-stage — but if your paint is genuinely OK, we won't charge for work it doesn't need.
Deep scratches that have gone through the clearcoat. Stone chips. Cracked clearcoat. Bird-dropping etching that's into the paint layer. We''ll inspect honestly and tell you what we can and can't fix before we start. For deep damage you may need a body shop, not us.
Paint correction is the prep stage for ceramic coating. If you want long-term protection (2-5 years), paint correction first, then ceramic on top. Ceramic coating adds £400-£900 depending on product (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light, Gyeon Mohs, Ceramic Pro). WhatsApp Joe for a combined quote.
Most single-stage work we can do mobile, on your driveway, with proper lighting and a power source. Two-stage work or full corrections we sometimes do at our partner detailing studio in north-west London — better light, controlled environment, no rain risk. We''ll suggest which works best for your job when we quote.
Unlike Mini/Wash/Full Valet, paint correction pricing depends heavily on: paint type (some German clearcoats are harder than Japanese), defect depth, car size, whether you want ceramic afterwards. The prices above are starting points — your job may quote higher or lower after inspection. WhatsApp us a few photos and we''ll send a quote in minutes.

Only scratches that havent gone through the clearcoat. Run your fingernail across — if it catches, its too deep for polish and needs body work. Well inspect and tell you honestly.
The correction itself is permanent — once defects are polished out, theyre gone. The clarity and gloss last as long as you maintain the paint properly. Topped with ceramic coating, you can lock in the result for 2-5 years.
No. Matte paint and vinyl wrap cant be polished — different process entirely. WhatsApp us if you have a wrap that needs cleaning or maintenance.
Light water spots — yes. Deep etched ones that have damaged the clearcoat — partially. Well show you under proper lighting before we start, and tell you exactly what to expect.
Done properly, a single panel takes 20-40 minutes of machine work. A whole car has roughly 15 polishable panels. 6-12 hours is normal — anyone doing it in 2 hours is either lying or skipping steps.
