Procar Detailing: Restore Your Car's Perfect Finish with Expert Paint Correction
Is your car's paint looking dull, scratched, or swirled? At Procar Detailing, we specialize in professional paint correction services that will restore your vehicle's exterior to a showroom-quality finish.
Over time, everyday driving and improper washing techniques can leave unsightly imperfections on your car's paintwork. These can include swirl marks from automatic car washes, fine scratches from road debris, water spots, and oxidation that dulls the vibrant colour. While these imperfections might seem permanent, Procar Detailing possesses the expertise and state-of-the-art tools to safely and effectively remove them, revealing the true depth and clarity of your vehicle's paint.
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a meticulous multi-stage process that involves carefully polishing away microscopic layers of your car's clear coat to eliminate surface imperfections. It's far more than just a wax or polish; it's a restorative process that requires skill, precision, and the right products to achieve flawless results without compromising the integrity of your paint.
At Procar Detailing, our comprehensive paint correction process typically includes:
-
Thorough Decontamination Wash: We begin with a meticulous wash to remove all loose dirt, grime, and contaminants. This often includes a chemical decontamination to remove embedded iron particles and tar, followed by a clay bar treatment to pull out stubborn bonded contaminants.
-
Paint Thickness Measurements: Using specialized tools, we measure the thickness of your vehicle's paint to ensure we work safely and effectively.
-
Multi-Stage Machine Polishing: This is the core of paint correction. We use a variety of professional-grade polishes and pads, combined with different machine polishers (rotary and dual-action), to progressively remove imperfections. This starts with more aggressive compounds to tackle deeper scratches and finishes with fine polishes to refine the surface and enhance gloss.
-
Inspection and Refinement: Throughout the process, we use specialized lighting to identify and address any remaining imperfections, ensuring a truly flawless finish.
-
Protection (Optional but Recommended): Once the paint is corrected, we highly recommend applying a high-quality paint sealant or ceramic coating to protect your newly restored finish from future damage and make maintenance easier.

Paint Correction FAQs - Procar Detailing
Have questions about getting your car's paint looking its best? Procar Detailing has the answers! We've put together this list of frequently asked questions about our professional paint correction services in Denmead, Hampshire.
Q1: What exactly is paint correction?
A: Paint correction, at Procar Detailing, is the meticulous process of restoring your vehicle's paintwork by removing surface imperfections. This typically includes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and holograms. It's a multi-stage polishing process that carefully levels the clear coat to reveal a smooth, defect-free, and highly reflective finish, bringing back your car's original luster and depth.
Q2: How is paint correction different from waxing or polishing?
A: While waxing and polishing can add shine, they typically only fill in or temporarily mask imperfections. Paint correction, offered by Procar Detailing, is a permanent solution that removes the defects by taking off a microscopic layer of your car's clear coat. It's a much more intensive and skilled process than a simple wax or over-the-counter polish, providing lasting results.
Q3: What kind of imperfections can paint correction fix?
A: Procar Detailing's paint correction services are highly effective at removing a wide range of common paint defects, including:
-
Swirl marks: Often caused by improper washing techniques or automatic car washes.
-
Light scratches: From minor abrasions, keying, or road debris.
-
Oxidation: Faded, dull paint due to sun exposure.
-
Water spots: Mineral deposits left by hard water.
-
Holograms/Buffer trails: Imperfections left by inexperienced machine polishing.
-
Bird etching/bug splatter stains: If not too deeply embedded.
Q4: How long does paint correction take at Procar Detailing?
A: The duration of paint correction depends on several factors: the size of the vehicle, the severity of the paint defects, and the desired level of correction (e.g., single-stage, two-stage, or multi-stage). A typical paint correction can take anywhere from one to three days for a full restoration at Procar Detailing, ensuring every detail is perfect.
Q5: Will paint correction remove all scratches?
A: Paint correction at Procar Detailing can remove a very high percentage of surface scratches. However, if a scratch has gone through the clear coat and into the base coat (colour layer) or even the primer/metal, it's considered a "deep scratch" and may require touch-up paint or re-spraying to fully resolve. We always assess your vehicle thoroughly to set realistic expectations.
Q6: Is paint correction safe for my car's paint?
A: Yes, when performed by experienced professionals like those at Procar Detailing, paint correction is completely safe. We use precision tools to measure paint thickness and employ advanced techniques to remove only the minimum amount of clear coat necessary to achieve a flawless finish, preserving your vehicle's integrity.
Q7: Do I need to protect my paint after correction?
A: Absolutely! After investing in paint correction from Procar Detailing, we highly recommend applying a high-quality paint sealant or, even better, a ceramic coating. This will protect your newly corrected paint from environmental contaminants, UV damage, and future minor scratches, making maintenance easier and extending the life of the flawless finish. We offer various protection options.
Q8: How much does paint correction cost at Procar Detailing?
A: The cost of paint correction varies depending on the size of your vehicle, the condition of the paint, and the level of correction required. We offer tailored solutions to meet your needs and budget. Please contact Procar Detailing today for a personalized quote after a thorough assessment of your vehicle's paintwork.
Q9: How often should I get paint correction?
A: With proper maintenance and protection (like a ceramic coating), the results of paint correction from Procar Detailing can last for several years. You generally won't need to have a full paint correction again for a long time. However, regular maintenance washes and occasional light polishing can keep your paint looking its best.
