Sunshine Coast paint correction that brings your paint back to life.
Swirl marks, scratches and dull, oxidised paint make any car look older than it is. We machine polish them out to bring back the depth and gloss your paint had on day one, and the value that goes with it.

Why tired paint costs you more than you think.
Here's what happens when paint defects are left alone.
01Swirl marks get deeper
Every rough wash adds another layer. What starts as light haze turns into scratches you can see from across the street.
02Oxidation eats through clear coat
Once the clear starts to fail it peels, and at that point the only fix is a respray.
- 03
Resale value drops
Tired paint is the first thing a buyer or valuer notices. It makes a well kept car look neglected.
The process
How paint correction works
- 1
Assess under lights
We check the paint with inspection lighting and a paint depth gauge so we know how much we can safely remove.
- 2
Wash, decon and tape up
The car is fully cleaned and decontaminated, then trim and edges are taped off to protect them.
- 3
Test spot
We start with a small section to find the lightest pad and polish combo that gets the result.
- 4
Correct and refine
Panel by panel, one or more stages of compounding and polishing, checked under lights as we go.
- 5
Protect and hand over
We finish with a sealant or move straight into a ceramic coating, then hand your car back with paint that looks deep and glossy again.

FAQs
Questions about this service.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes anything in the clear coat. If you can catch a fingernail in the scratch, it has likely gone through to the base or primer and will need touch up or paint.
What is the difference between one stage and two stage?
One stage is a single polish that removes most light swirls and adds gloss. Two stage adds a heavier cut first for deeper defects. We will recommend one after the inspection.
Is it safe for my paint?
Yes, when it is done properly. We measure paint thickness before we start and only take off as little as needed.
How long does it take?
A one stage correction is usually a full day. Two stage can run to two days depending on the size and condition of the car.
