Paint Correction Detail

For vehicles with significant swirl marks, scratches, holograms, and oxidation that a single-stage enhancement can't fully address. Multi-stage machine correction using progressive compounds — each stage removes finer defects until we achieve 90–95%+ correction. Paint depth readings are taken before we start, and every panel is inspected under LED lights. This is precision paintwork surgery.

Ceramic Coating Add-On

Half The Price, Because The Prep Is Already Done

from £100from £200bought on its own

Bought on its own, our ceramic coating starts at £200 — and most of that price isn't the coating. It's the prep: decontamination, tar and iron removal, clay bar, and machine polishing to get the paint flat before anything will bond to it. A Correction Detail does all of that to a higher standard than a standalone coating job ever would. Add the coating to the same booking and you're paying for the coating alone — from £100 instead of from £200. You've just spent one to two days getting this paint perfect. £100 is what it costs to stop it going back the way it came.

  • Two years of hydrophobic protection at the entry tier — wax gives you four to eight weeks
  • Longer-life coatings available on the same terms, priced up from there
  • UV, road salt and chemical resistance through a Scottish winter
  • Protects the 90–95% defect removal you've just paid for
  • Washing takes half the time — dirt slides off instead of bonding
  • Only priced this way when it's booked with the detail
