Paint Correction for Christchurch cars
In Christchurch, overhanging trees and narrow lanes mean many cars have hedge scratches and sap etching as well as wash swirls. Light hedge marks often polish out; deeper ones may need touch-up. On classic cars we check paint depth first, as older paint can be thin.
Christchurch sits where the Stour and Avon meet the harbour, with Mudeford Quay and the Highcliffe clifftop on one side and the New Forest on the other. Cars here pick up salt and sand on the coast road and forest mud, leaf fall and tree sap inland, often in the same week.
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 Christchurch?
Yes, we cover Christchurch, including Mudeford, Highcliffe, Burton, Somerford and Purewell. For nearby villages, include your postcode and we'll confirm.
Will the paint correction be done at my home?
Most Christchurch homes in Burton, Highcliffe and Mudeford have driveways that suit mobile work. Coatings and multi-day correction need a dry, covered space, which we'll agree with you.
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.
