What does this service solve?

Paint correction is advanced machine and hand work using rotary and orbital polishers, cutting and polishing compounds. Depending on the paint condition we carry out a single-stage refreshing correction (removal of main swirls) or a multi-stage deep correction (elimination of scratches, oxidation and serious defects). The result is paint with restored colour depth, unbroken light reflections and mirror gloss visible to the naked eye. Paint correction is the natural preparation for ceramic coating or PPF film — it guarantees that the protection will be applied over perfect paint.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 1-stage and 2 or 3-stage correction?+
1-stage correction removes basic swirls and micro-scratches, enhancing gloss. 2 and 3-stage corrections are used with heavily damaged paint — each stage uses progressively finer compounds, increasing precision and final result.
Does paint correction remove paint?+
Yes — correction removes a microscopic layer of paint (typically 2–5 µm). Before work we measure coating thickness and perform correction safely within limits that do not compromise quality.
Does paint need protection after correction?+
Absolutely. Immediately after correction we recommend applying ceramic coating or PPF film — it protects the result and extends its durability. Polished paint alone without protection returns to its original state over time.
Will correction remove deep scratches?+
Correction effectively removes scratches that reach the clear coat layer. Scratches reaching the primer or metal require repainting — that is beyond the scope of correction.
