Wolverhampton Paint Correction Service
Restore the shine of your paint by eliminating imperfections.
Wolverhampton Paint Correction: Achieve Ultimate Gloss and Clarity
The goal of paint correction is to remove swirls and imperfections so your car can shine. Depending on what you want, we can aim to remove 65% to 90% of the imperfections from your paint. This is where we do an intense cutting and polishing step, called a 2-step correction, to get the most gloss and clarity from your paintwork.
Some scratches or imperfections won’t go away. This may be because of how deep the scratch is, the type of imperfection, or maybe it’s unsafe to polish on a specific panel due to the clear coat being low.
This is where we’ll make the proper judgment call on what we can safely remove from your paint. It’s not just about removing as many imperfections. It’s also knowing when enough is enough to keep the integrity of the paint healthy and within good working boundaries.
We can spend 20 hours or 5 hours polishing your paint. It’s all just based on what you’d like to achieve.
And yes, for newer vehicles, even if it’s just 4 months off the lot, the paint can still require a 2-step correction service. Although you’ve only had the vehicle for a few months, the car has been transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places).
It’s during this time that the car is moved, washed, transported, washed, stored, etc… It’s no surprise that new vehicles, regardless of the make and model, leave the showroom with heavy amount of swirls and imperfections.
Paint correction is a commitment you’re making to the vehicle. If you’d like to keep your paint in great condition, you have to properly maintain the vehicle after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle, you can easily put all those swirls and scratches back into your paint in just a few washes.
At DetailingSanctuary we offer Maintenance washes to accommodate that
This is the most tedious service for detailing. Depending on your vehicle, the condition of the paint, and the results you want, it can take between 8 to 15 hours of work to complete.

Paint Correction FAQs
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
Absolutely! Ceramic coatings are an excellent option for protecting your paint from the elements. You can learn more about our
ceramic coatings [here]. Alternatively, you can choose a traditional wax or sealant at no additional cost.
How long do the results last?
After paint correction, maintaining the results is crucial. Just like training a pet, you need ongoing care and routine maintenance to keep your paint swirl-free. Regular washing and drying are essential to preserve the finish; without proper upkeep, you might lose the benefits over time. We do offer Maintenance Washes after this package is completed.
What tools and products do you use?
We use a variety of machines, pads, polishes, compounds, cleaners, microfibers and lights to work on your vehicle. The specific tools and methods vary based on the car’s needs and the results you're looking to achieve.
What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?
Waxing does not remove swirls or scratches but rather masks light imperfections and can be completed in a few hours. Paint correction, on the other hand, actually removes swirls and scratches, resulting in a high-gloss finish. It requires significant time and effort, typically taking one to two full days depending on the size, condition, and desired outcome.
