Discuss this service Call Jonty

Overview

Specialist car detailing is planned around your car’s condition, how you use it and what you want to achieve. Jonty will talk through the car with you before agreeing the work.

Paint correction is preceded by paint-thickness readings taken across the car, so the work stays within a sensible envelope for the finish. Ceramic and other protective finishes are applied where they suit the car and the way it is kept.

Paint correction and protection are considered as part of the same assessed plan. For the protection stage, read about ceramic coating and paint protection.

Who this is for

  • Owners of prestige, performance, collector and classic cars
  • Cars carrying swirls, wash marring or uneven gloss
  • Cars where the depth and thickness of the paint needs respecting
  • Owners wanting durable protection matched to how the car is used

What's usually involved

This is the kind of work involved. What your car actually needs is agreed after we've seen it.

  • Paint-thickness readings mapped across the car
  • Assessment of paint condition and previous refinishing
  • Multi-stage machine correction to reduce swirls and defects, within a safe working envelope
  • Refinement of gloss and clarity
  • Ceramic coatings and protective finishes appropriate to the car
  • Guidance on maintaining the finish afterwards

Within this service

Paint Correction & Thickness Mapping

Readings are taken across the panels before any machine work starts, because how much clear coat is actually there decides how far correction can sensibly go. Where a panel reads thin, or shows signs of earlier refinishing, it is worked more conservatively or left alone — and you are told which panels those were.
