Paint Correction
Single-Stage PolishPaint Correction at our Southend-on-Sea studio
A one-step machine polish to remove light swirls and restore gloss, ideal for newer vehicles.
What single-stage polish involves
A Single-Stage Polish is the appropriate choice where paintwork is fundamentally sound but has picked up light swirl marks and wash haze, typically from automatic car washes or poor washing technique. Paint depth is measured before work begins to confirm there is sufficient clear coat to work safely. A medium-cut polish is then machined across each panel to level light defects and restore gloss and clarity. Each panel is wiped down with isopropyl alcohol afterwards, which strips any polishing oils and reveals the true corrected finish rather than a temporarily filled one. Protection is not included and should be booked alongside.
