What is a Stage 2 Paint Correction?
Carefully judged.
Precisely done.
After comprehensive washing, decontamination and paint inspection, the first machine-polishing stage is used to safely remove or significantly reduce heavier defects. A second refining stage then restores maximum clarity, depth and gloss while removing any haze left by the cutting process.
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: Heavily swirled, scratched or neglected paintwork requiring substantial correction and a refined final finish.

Why it matters
A better result
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.
Refine after cutting
A dedicated second stage removes polishing haze and restores clarity and depth.
Set safe expectations
Inspection establishes paint limits, defect depth and the safest achievable outcome.
Starting price

Stage 2 Paint Correction FAQs
Before we
begin.
01Is inspection required?
Yes. Every Stage 2 vehicle must be inspected before booking.
02Will every scratch be removed?
No. Defects that are too deep to correct safely will be reduced where possible rather than chased beyond safe paint limits.
03Why are two polishing stages used?
The first stage targets heavier defects and the second removes haze while restoring maximum clarity and gloss.
04Can a ceramic coating be added?
Yes. Coating options can be quoted after the correction and preparation requirements are confirmed.
