Paint Correction – swirl and buff mark
removal
As a specialist in paint correction, we can
give your car the ultimate shine with our industry-leading paint
rectification process. Our 6-8 Stage polishing system targets deep
swirls, webbing, fine scratches, roughness, buffing trails, oxidation
and paint dryness, and results in a deep, wet-gloss appearance and
strong protection.
Paint correction price guide
Our rate for paint correction is $60/hour.
A typical paint correction job takes around 8
hours to complete and costs approximately $450. Some standard jobs can
take less than 8 hours. However, it’s not uncommon for a job to take 1.5
and this is reflected in the cost.

8 - 9.5 hours Every paint correction job is

standard 2k paint. Due to the resilience of nano scratch
resistant and hard paints, it takes much longer to
achieve the same result, but the finish will also last a
lot longer.
