Paint correction in Northampton
If your car looks great in the garage and grey in the sunshine, it's swirled. Brush car washes, sponges and drying towels put those fine circular scratches there, one wash at a time. Machine polishing takes them out of the clear coat for good — rather than filling them with a glaze that washes out within a month.
One-step or two-step?
A one-step correction is a single machine-polishing stage. It removes around 60–70% of swirling and makes a big difference to gloss in a day — the right call for a car that's gone dull but isn't badly marked.
A two-step adds a heavier cutting stage first and then refines it, for 90%+ removal. It takes two to three days, and it's the correct foundation if a ceramic coating is going on afterwards.
Which one your car needs depends on how deep the damage goes and how much paint there is to work with. That's why paint depth is measured before anything touches the car. Clear coat is roughly half the thickness of a sheet of paper, and it doesn't grow back.

1-Step Paint Correction in Northampton: questions
Can you do paint correction on my driveway in Northampton?+
Yes, we're mobile across Northampton and the surrounding villages. Polishing needs dry weather and decent light, so in winter we plan around the forecast — and a garage helps if you have one.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?+
It removes the fine scratches that sit within the clear coat: swirls, wash marring and light hazing. Anything you can catch a fingernail in has usually gone through the clear coat and needs a touch-up or a respray instead. We point those out before starting, so there are no surprises.
How long does paint correction last?+
The scratches we remove are gone permanently. New ones arrive if the car goes back to being washed the same way, which is why most people protect it afterwards — with a coating or a sealant — and change how it's washed.
