WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Paint correction is the permanent removal of swirl marks, scratches, water spotting, hazing and other light-to-moderate paint defects caused by improper washing, drying and general vehicle care.

Unlike products that simply fill or hide imperfections, professional machine correction physically refines the clear coat, creating a dramatically cleaner and more refined finish.

🔹 Specialised Inspection Lighting
We use professional detailing lighting specifically designed to expose defects that can easily go unnoticed in normal daylight. This allows us to accurately assess and correct the paintwork rather than simply making it look good under favourable lighting.

🔹 Paint Depth Measurement
Before correction, paint thickness gauges are used to measure each panel. These readings can also help identify areas that may have previously been repaired or repainted and, where the equipment supports it, indicate the presence of body filler.

With modern clear coats becoming increasingly thin, these measurements are an important part of determining the safest and most effective combination of machine, pad, compound and polish for each vehicle.

🔹 4–30 Hours of Machine Paint Correction
Every vehicle is different. Depending on the size and colour of the vehicle, condition of the paintwork, severity of the defects and the level of correction required, the process can take anywhere from 4 to 30 hours.

🔹 The Result
By permanently removing defects rather than concealing them, machine paint correction can dramatically improve:

💎 Paint clarity
💎 Colour depth and richness
💎 Gloss and reflectivity
💎 Overall finish and presentation

The result can be a finish that looks considerably better than when the vehicle was first delivered.

PROTECT THE FINISH

After investing in paint correction, we highly recommend locking in the finished result with one of our professional ceramic coating packages.

A ceramic coating preserves the corrected finish while adding incredible gloss, slickness and long-term protection.

💎 Up to 3× more durable than unprotected clear coat
💎 Approximately 50% easier maintenance through self-cleaning properties
💎 Helps the vehicle stay cleaner for longer
💎 Exceptional water and dirt repellency
💎 Enhanced gloss, depth and slickness
💎 No polishing or waxing required for the life of the coating

✨ BRAND NEW MG S5 EV | 5-YEAR DUAL-LAYER CERAMIC PAINT PROTECTION ✨

A brand-new vehicle deserves a finish and level of protection designed to keep it presenting at its best. This MG S5 EV arrived at Portside Car Detailing for our comprehensive new-car preparation and 5-Year Dual-Layer Ceramic Paint Protection Package.

Before protection, the paintwork was meticulously decontaminated, inspected and machine refined to achieve exceptional clarity, depth and gloss. Once perfected, the finish was professionally protected with our dual-layer ceramic coating system, creating a highly durable protective barrier designed to preserve the paintwork and maintain its presentation for years to come.

🔹 THE PREPARATION

🔹 Mechanical decontamination to leave the paintwork perfectly smooth
🔹 Single-stage machine correction to remove light swirl marks, fine scratches and imperfections from the dealership/pre-delivery process

💎 THE BENEFITS OF CERAMIC PROTECTION

💎 Dual-layer ceramic coating system for enhanced durability and performance

💎 9-YEAR CERAMIC COATING BENEFITS

🔷 Up to 9 years of durable paint protection

🔷 3x more durable than the factory clear coat itself

🔷 50% easier maintenance thanks to the coating’s advanced self-cleaning capabilities
