What is a Stage 1 Paint Correction?
Carefully judged.
Precisely done.
The vehicle receives a complete safe wash, chemical and mechanical decontamination, paint inspection and carefully selected machine-polishing combination. Each panel is corrected and refined in one stage to achieve the best possible balance of defect removal, clarity and finish.
We begin with a short consultation so the treatment reflects what the vehicle actually needs. You receive a clear scope, realistic expectations and a confirmed quotation before work begins. At handover, we explain any relevant aftercare so the result is easier to maintain.
Best suited to: Vehicles with visible swirl marks, oxidation and light-to-moderate defects that need more correction than a Paint Enhancement.

Why it matters

starts with process.
Detailing is not about adding shine over hidden contamination. It is about choosing the right method, order and finish for the surfaces in front of us.
Balance correction and finish
One controlled stage aims for the best safe balance of defect removal, clarity and gloss.
Respect paint limits
Paint type, condition and defect depth determine the achievable result.
Starting price

the start.
