Paint Correction, also commonly known as cut and polish is the delicate, intricate and permanent process of removing imperfections such as swirls, holograms, scuff marks, light scratches, and dullness from your vehicles clear coat or paint. This is done by carefully utilising various machine polishers, polishing pads and liquid abrasives. The process will leave your car paint with a true, transparent, swirl free and glossy shine.
