Paint Correction for Poole cars

Poole has plenty of black, grey and dark blue prestige cars, and those are exactly the colours where correction shows. Sand blown off the beaches at Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs is abrasive, and wiping it off dry is a common cause of fine scratching. We'll assess how deep it goes and whether an enhancement or full correction is right.

Poole wraps around one of the largest natural harbours in the world, so a lot of cars here live within a short walk of salt water. Sandbanks and Lilliput see wind-blown sand and spray, the quay and Hamworthy get harbour air, and the Sandbanks ferry queue means plenty of cars sitting in sea mist.

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

See the full step-by-step guide on our paint correction page.

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 Poole?

Yes, we cover Poole, including Sandbanks, Parkstone, Canford Cliffs, Broadstone, Hamworthy and Creekmoor. For nearby villages, include your postcode and we'll confirm.

Will the paint correction be done at my home?

Larger driveways in Broadstone, Canford Cliffs and Lilliput suit mobile work; harbourside apartments often have managed parking where mobile work is not allowed, so check first.

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.
