PAINTWORK IMPROVEMENT
Restore Clarity, Gloss and Depth
Single Stage Correction is designed for vehicles affected by swirl marks, wash marring, light scratches and dull paintwork.
Following a detailed preparation process, the paintwork is machine polished using one carefully selected correction stage to achieve the best safe improvement possible before applying a seven-year ceramic coating.

The level of correction achieved depends on the paint type, defect depth, previous repairs and available paint thickness. Deeper scratches, stone chips and defects that cannot be safely removed may remain. These will be explained honestly following inspection.
Significant Paint Improvement in One Correction Stage
Single Stage Correction is designed to transform tired or visibly marked paintwork by reducing the defects that interfere with gloss and clarity, while preserving the paint safely.
Before
After
The final level of correction varies according to the vehicle’s paint system, defect severity and available paint thickness. Deeper scratches, stone chips, previous repair defects and marks that cannot be removed safely may remain. The aim is the best responsible improvement—not removing paint unnecessarily in pursuit of perfection.
