Paint correction in Pontefract

AW Detailing provides single stage polishing, two stage correction and multi stage sanding at our Pontefract studio. Each option addresses a different level of paint defects, from light swirls to more intensive refinement.

Clarity & Depth

Restore gloss, depth and clarity

Swirls, light scratches and dullness can stop your paint reflecting light cleanly. We assess the finish and recommend an approach that suits its condition and your expectations. Ceramic coating is an optional upgrade after correction.

From £400

Single Stage Paint Correction

Enhance gloss. Reduce light defects.

A single polishing stage refines paintwork, reduces light imperfections and restores gloss. It suits a fairly new car that has lost its shine, light swirl marks, or a vehicle being prepared for sale.

Included in detail:

  • Deep exterior clean, safe wash and decontamination
  • Clay bar treatment to remove bonded contaminants
  • Exhaust tips polished and refined
  • Fine-to-medium single stage polishing
  • Professional finishing products for a reflective finish

If deeper defects are the main concern, discuss Two Stage Correction.

  • Clay bar treatment to remove bonded contamination
  • Exhaust tips polished and refined
