Key Benefits of This Service

The process begins with thorough washing and decontamination to remove surface debris, followed by inspection under specialized lighting that reveals every swirl, scratch, and haze invisible under standard conditions. Multi-stage machine polishing then gently levels imperfections using progressively finer compounds and pads calibrated to your paint's hardness and condition.

You'll see dramatic improvements in gloss, depth, and reflection quality as layers of oxidation and micro-marring disappear, revealing the true color and clarity underneath. AMotive Detailing and Customs tailors correction stages to your vehicle's needs—whether it's a single-stage polish for light swirls or a three-stage process for severe scratches and dullness. Every step is designed to restore finish quality without removing excess clear coat or creating new defects.

Available for all vehicle types and surrounding-area clients, the service addresses damage from automatic washes, gravel exposure, and UV degradation common to Hastings roads and climates.

What to Expect When You Book

Paint correction is a technical process that requires skill, patience, and the right equipment. These answers explain what happens during each stage and why it matters for your vehicle's appearance.

What causes swirl marks on paint?
Swirl marks come from improper washing techniques, automatic car washes, and drying with dirty towels. They're micro-scratches in the clear coat that scatter light.
How many stages of polishing are typically needed?
Most vehicles require two to three stages: cutting to remove defects, polishing to refine clarity, and finishing to maximize gloss and depth.
Will paint correction remove deep scratches?
We can reduce or eliminate most scratches, but deep scratches that penetrate the base coat may require touch-up paint before correction can restore uniformity.
Can you measure clear coat thickness during the process?
Yes, we use a paint depth gauge to ensure we're removing only the necessary amount of clear coat, preserving enough for future correction if needed.
Is paint correction necessary before applying ceramic coating?
Absolutely. Ceramic coatings lock in the surface condition, so any swirls or oxidation left behind will be sealed and visible for the life of the coating.

Your paint is one of the most valuable surfaces on your vehicle, and restoring it requires precision and care. When defects are removed and clarity is restored, your vehicle looks the way it did before years of wear took their toll. Reach out today to restore the depth and shine your paint deserves.
