Paint Correction in Highwoods
Booking paint correction in Highwoods is simple: call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us about the car and what you want done, and we give a free quote and a realistic time estimate before we start.
We work with professional-grade products, the same ceramic coatings, machine polishes and detailing chemicals used by top-level studios. The difference with Mint Detail is that the studio comes to you.
On the day, we arrive with the full setup and work through the job in a clear order, checking the result in natural light before we pack up. If anything needs a second pass, it gets one there and then, not on a return visit.
From £250. Prices vary by vehicle size and condition — contact us for a free quote for your car in Highwoods.

How the work runs in Highwoods

- Staged machine polishing. Cutting and refinement stages remove defects progressively, checking the finish as we go.
- Final inspection. Panels are inspected in natural and artificial light before protection is applied.

Frequently asked questions
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation very effectively. Scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot be polished out completely, though they can often be improved. We assess the paint first and explain honestly what correction can and cannot achieve.
Is machine polishing safe for my paint?
When done properly, yes. Paint is assessed first, the least aggressive approach that achieves the result is used, and panels are checked as work progresses. That is why correction is a skilled job rather than a quick buff.
How much does paint correction cost?
From £250 for multi-stage correction. Single-stage machine polishing is from £95 and two-stage from £150. Prices vary by vehicle size and paint condition, so contact us for a free quote.
Should I have ceramic coating after correction?
It is the ideal next step, because coating locks in the corrected finish and protects it for years. A sealant or wax also works if coating is not what you want yet.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is multi-stage machine polishing that removes defects from the clear coat: swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and haze. It restores depth, gloss and clarity rather than just hiding defects under a filler or wax.
