Multi-Stage Paint Correction for a Flawless, Show-Car Finish

For paint that deserves the maximum. Three or more polishing stages, paint depth mapping and hours of careful work remove virtually every defect and leave a finish that is better than new.

About multi-stage correction

When “good” is not the goal.

Multi-stage correction is the most thorough paint work we do. Heavy compounding removes the deepest safely-removable defects, medium polishing refines the surface, and a final finishing stage produces flawless clarity. On some paints we add wet sanding of isolated deep scratches or orange peel. Every stage is inspected under multiple light sources and the paint is measured throughout.

It is time-intensive and priced accordingly, so we quote only after inspecting the vehicle in person. The result is a finish that shows nothing but reflections, which is exactly what you want before a long-term ceramic coating or paint protection film.

  • Cars with previous poor detailing, buffer trails or holograms

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about multi-stage paint correction in Gordon and across Sydney’s North Shore.

Ask a question

Because time varies enormously with paint condition, hardness and vehicle size. A car with previous poor polishing can take twice as long as one with simple swirls. We inspect first and give you a firm written quote.

Every defect that sits within the clear coat can be safely reduced or removed. Scratches through to the colour or primer, and stone chips, need paint touch-up. We will identify these during inspection.

On factory paint with adequate depth, and in experienced hands, yes. We only sand isolated defects where measurements confirm there is enough clear coat, and we never sand thin or repainted areas.

Usually two to three days, longer if a ceramic coating is being applied and cured afterwards. We keep vehicles securely inside our Gordon workshop.

Yes. Many new cars arrive with dealer-inflicted swirls and sanding marks from the factory. Correcting them before coating gives you a finish better than delivery day.
