Paint Correction for Bournemouth cars
Swirls are common on Bournemouth cars because so many are washed at brush car washes or with a sandy sponge after a beach day. Correction makes the biggest difference on dark colours, which show every mark in the low winter sun along the seafront. Multi-day correction is usually done indoors at a unit rather than on the street.
Bournemouth's seven miles of beach are wonderful for everything except your car. Onshore winds carry salt spray well inland, the clifftop roads collect sand, and the pines around Talbot Woods and Branksome drop sap that bakes onto roofs in summer. Southbourne and Tuckton sit right on the cliff and river, so cars there tend to see the worst of the salt.
The work
What the work involves
Paint correction is the careful machine polishing of your car's clear coat to level out swirl marks, holograms, wash marring and light scratches. Rather than hiding defects with fillers, it removes a tiny amount of lacquer so light reflects evenly again.
What's included- Paint inspection
- Wash and full decontamination
- Masking
- Compounding
- Refining and protection

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can't see yours? Add it to your enquiry and we'll answer it with your quote.
Do you cover all of Bournemouth?
Yes, we cover Bournemouth, including Southbourne, Boscombe, Westbourne, Winton, Kinson and Talbot Woods. For nearby villages, include your postcode and we'll confirm.
Will the paint correction be done at my home?
Many Bournemouth flats and terraces have on-street or shared parking, so for longer jobs we'll discuss a suitable covered location.
What's the difference between enhancement and correction?
An enhancement is usually a single polishing step in a day, aiming for a big gloss improvement and removing perhaps half the light swirls. Correction uses heavier cutting and more time to remove most defects that can be safely removed.
Will it remove every scratch?
No. If you can catch a scratch with a fingernail it is often through the clear coat. We'll tell you honestly what can safely come out and what needs a touch-up or bodyshop.
