Paint Correction in Bournemouth

Stage 1 paint enhancement starts at £330 for a small car and rises with vehicle size — £370 medium, £410 large, £470 XL. Multi-stage correction on heavily swirled paint is quoted after inspection.

Not all. Machine polishing removes defects within the clear coat — swirl marks, light scratches, holograms and oxidation. If a scratch has gone through the clear coat to the base colour (your fingernail catches in it), it needs paint, not polishing. We'll always tell you honestly which category yours falls into.

The correction itself is permanent — the damaged clear coat has been levelled away. How long the finish stays looking that way depends on protection and washing. Sealed with wax it lasts months; with a ceramic coating and safe washing, years.

Single-stage (Stage 1) suits most daily cars with light-to-moderate swirling and delivers a big visible improvement. Two-stage is for deeper defects where a cutting step is needed before refining. We assess your paint in daylight and recommend the honest option, not the expensive one.

Yes — we're fully mobile across Bournemouth and bring our own power and lighting. We do need reasonable space around the car and, ideally, shelter or dry weather, as correction shouldn't be rushed in rain.

In trained hands, yes. Machine polishing removes a few microns of clear coat — a car can typically be corrected several times over its life. The risk comes from inexperience and aggressive compounds. We match pad and compound to your specific paint and work conservatively.
