Paint Correction
& Ceramic Coatings

Swirl marks, water spots and dull oxidised paint are all correctable. We machine-polish the clear coat back to clarity, then seal it. Protection runs from a six-month ceramic sealant up to a five-year coating.

What Paint Correction Actually Does — Providence Detailing

Paint Correction & Ceramic Coatings

What Paint Correction
Actually Does

Swirl marks live down in the clear coat. They come from wash technique, automatic car washes and dirty towels, and no wax hides them for long. Levelling them out takes a machine polisher and the right pairing of pad and compound.

Not every car needs the same amount taken off, which is why we run three levels. Gloss enhancement is a light polish for paint that is already in decent shape. One-step covers most daily drivers. Two-step is for paint that has been left alone too long. Once the paint is right, a ceramic coating keeps it that way.

  • Three levels of machine polishing
  • Paint decontamination & clay bar first
  • Ceramic SiO₂ sealant on every package
  • 1, 2 and 5-year coating options
  • UV and oxidation resistance
  • Sedan/coupe and SUV/truck pricing

How We Do
Paint Correction & Coatings

Paint Inspection First

The paint decides the package, not the price list. If a one-step gets your car 95% of the way there, we would rather sell you that than a two-step you do not need.

Paint Decontamination Included

Every correction package opens with a hand wash, chemical decontamination and a clay bar. Polishing over bonded contaminants just grinds them into the paint.

Machine Polishing

Defects get levelled with a machine polisher and then refined. What you drive away with is corrected paint that holds its gloss, instead of a filler glaze that washes out in three weeks.

Ceramic Protection On Top

Correction packages finish with a ceramic SiO₂ sealant. If you want the finish held for years rather than months, step up to a 1, 2 or 5-year coating.

Our Process

The Paint Correction & Coatings
Process

01

Paint Assessment

We look over the paint under proper lighting and agree which level of correction your car actually calls for.

02

Wash & Decontamination

Exterior hand wash, chemical paint decontamination, then a clay bar treatment to lift bonded contaminants off the surface.

03

Machine Correction

Compounding and polishing to level swirl marks, water spots, oxidation and light scratches.

04

Sealant Or Coating

A ceramic SiO₂ sealant or a full coating goes on last, and the car gets a final inspection before you see it.
