Our Car Paint Correction Services
Paint correction is a professional process designed to restore a vehicle's paintwork to its original condition by eliminating surface imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation.
This technique uses specialised abrasive compounds and polishes to carefully remove a thin layer of the clear coat, levelling the surface and revealing a smooth, high gloss finish.
Our Paint Correction Process
01.
Free Paint Assessment
We evaluate your paint condition, identifying defects and damage levels before providing honest recommendations and a transparent quote outlining costs.
04.
Paint Depth Gauge
We use paint depth gauge to measure paint thickness, which isn’t commonly done by other detailers or auto groomers. This provides a clear understanding of the paint layer's health, guiding our decisions on whether to repaint or apply other repairs. Each vehicle is different – we tailor paint correction to each vehicle and its needs accordingly so we can accurately replicate original finishes and ensure new paint and parts match the existing bodywork. This also means we don’t have to break through the clear coat by showing how much paint can be safely removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is paint damage inflicted?
Over time, everyday driving and maintenance activities inflict paint damage, demanding car paint correction services. Automatic car washes with dirty brushes create swirl marks, while improper washing techniques using contaminated cloths or sponges scratch the surface.
Environmental factors like UV rays cause oxidation and fading, while road debris, salt, and bird droppings create etching and staining. Even well-intentioned DIY washing can drag dirt particles across the surface, leaving micro-scratches behind.
What are the benefits of car paint correction in Auckland and Waikato?
The key benefits of this service include:
-
Enhanced Appearance: By removing imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and other blemishes, paint correction restores a vibrant, like-new finish, dramatically improving the vehicle's overall appearance and enhancing its value.
-
Added Protection: The process eliminates imperfections that can trap dirt and debris, reducing the risk of further damage. This proactive step helps protect the paint and prevents future issues from developing.

Extended Lifespan: Regular car paint correction can help prolong the life of your vehicle's paintwork by preventing corrosion and other deterioration that might lead to costly repairs or future repainting.

​How long does a full paint correction service take?
The timeframe varies by service level and vehicle condition. Enhancement can take 2-3 hours, moderate correction requires 3-4 hours, and heavy correction needs about 5-6 hours. More significant car paint correction in Auckland and Waikato can take 1-2 days.
During your free assessment, we'll provide an accurate timeframe based on your vehicle and its correction needs.
How often should paint correction be done?
Under normal conditions, most vehicles benefit from correction every 2-3 years. If you're driving in harsher environments, your paintwork may need attention annually. Vehicles with ceramic coating or regular professional maintenance can extend intervals to 3-5 years.
Rather than following a strict schedule, our paint correction specialists recommend correction when you notice diminished gloss, visible swirl marks, or paint clarity loss.
