This service is usually for someone who is new to detailing or looking to 'enhance' their vehicles dull paintwork at a lower cost, as perfection is not possible with this.
Paint Correction Detail From £550 (3 days+)
The Paint Correction detail is set out to try and chase paint perfection. Removing as many defects as possible, where safe to do so. Full 100% correction isn't always obtainable, because of different factors such as; paint condition and paint depth to begin with. But with this service, we would be looking to get as close to perfection as possible with the paint on the vehicle.
Every vehicle that receives any one of these details, first has to go through a wash and decontamination process to free the paint of any contaminants before the machine polishing can take place, this process is listed below.
