1-Step Paint Correction in Middlesbrough & Teesside

If your car’s paint has heavier swirl marks, hazing, or light scratches, our 1-Step Paint Correction is the upgrade you need. Using a cutting and refining process in one stage, this treatment removes a higher level of defects than gloss enhancement while still leaving a sharp, glossy finish. It’s the sweet spot between quick enhancement and full correction.

✅ What’s Included:

Full safe wash + decontamination (tar, fallout, clay bar) Paintwork wiped down with panel prep solution 1-step machine polish with medium cut polish & refining pad Removes moderate swirl marks, haze, and light marring Optional: Add ceramic coating (3 or 5 year) or paint sealant

📆 How Long It Takes:

5 to 7 hours on average — longer for larger vehicles or heavily marked paint. A thorough service designed to safely improve overall clarity.

🔍 Who This Is For:

Cars with visible swirl marks, hazing, or light scratches Owners who want more correction than gloss enhancement but don’t need a full 2-step process Preparing your car for sale, shows, or ceramic coating application Daily drivers that need a refresh without going “all in”

🔧 Products We Use:

Gyeon, Cartec, Bilt Hamber, and Performance PPL

✨ Final Result:

A sharper, clearer, glossier finish with up to 70% defect removal. Your car’s paintwork will look dramatically cleaner and more refined — a proper transformation without the full two-stage process.
