PAINT CORRECTION $410-$1225
If you’re car is showing its mileage, it may just be time for a paint correction Offering either a 1,2 or 3 stage correction we may not be able to bring your paint back to showroom condition, but we can most certainly get it looking as good as it can!
All prices for Paint Correction assuming that the maintenance wash and detail has been completed. You cannot skip to stage 2, without first having completed Stage 1, all listed prices are cumulative.
Regardless of which Stage you require, after any polishing we will “Seal” the paint work with either a wax or a super hydrophobic synthetic sealant (Depending on the car, and customer preference) to ensure that your new finish is maintained for as long as is possible.
Stage 1 (light, inconsistent scratches and swirls) Requires: Maintenance Detail
- Clay Bar
- Following our maintenance wash, we use a super slippery lubricant to grease up the paint and panel by panel we clay bar any impurities out of the paint work. This can take a while but its critical to ensuring we aren’t polishing contaminants deeper into your paint!
- Micro Abrasive Polish
- Using a variety of machines and plenty of elbow grease we apply a very fine polish to bring your paint back to its former glory!
Stage 2 (Most panels are scratched, deep oscillating swirls present in paintwork, very dull, some touchups are required) Requires: Maintenance Detail+Stage 1
- All previous stages services, and;
- Paint Micrometer Thickness Inspection
- Using a special tool we measure your paints thickness to make sure that our polishes dont leave the paint itself too thin where it may burn, or start to show the panel underneath.
- Touchups (may attract additional charges)
- At the handover, we will agree with our customer what flaws we will touch up (if any). We have a variety of methods but the most common is applying specially matched paint to any deep scratches with additional steps to treat any rust if the metal has been exposed.
- We may also be able to massage out smaller dents or panel imperfections (again by agreement)
- Cutting Compound Polish
- We have to bring out the big guns to get a big result! This heavy abrasive compound will skim a layer off the top of your exterior finish in order to bring back that shine and lustre.
- Micro Abrasive Polish
- Using a variety of machines and plenty of elbow grease we apply a very fine polish to bring your paint back to its former glory!
- Sealant
- Depending on the car, and customer preference we then seal in that beautiful new paint with a wax or synthetic sealant.
Stage 3 All panels are scratched, most are deep, significant swirls are present in paintwork, very dull, multiple touchups are required
Requires: Maintenance Detail+Stage 1+Stage 2
- All previous stages services, and;
- Five Step Sand
- Using a 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and 5,000 grit sandpaper (constantly checking the paint thickness as we go) a thin layer of your paintwork is removed to dig down under the scratches and imperfections.
We will not undertake a heavier correction then what is necessary and any/all repairs will be discussed in detail with you prior to completion. We will often stage out any significant exterior restoration to suit a budget, or just to make sure the customer is comfortable wth each stage of the improvement/rectification process.
We keep meticulous records of our regular customers vehicles to not only increase their value at the time of sale (just like your mechanical history, a detailing history can make a big difference!) but also so that they can pass these records onto another detailer should they wish to change when relocating or similar.
CERAMIC COATING $450 - $700
If you’ve gone the extra mile to get your paintwork looking like (almost) new…then lets seal in the freshness with a self healing, scratch resistant, self cleaning (well, it makes your at home washes a whole lot easier!) ceramic coating product.
