What is Paint Correction?
Removing such imperfections safely and effectively is what ECC specialise in. Before we carry out any paint correction we inspect the paintwork before and during the process to ensure there is sufficient paint or clear coat to safely rectify any imperfections. We do this by using a ultra sonic paint depth gauge which allows us to measure each individual paint layer. These measurements can also tell us whether the vehicle has had any paint repairs in the past.
We can usually guarantee full correction of > 95% of paint defects present (subject to paint depth) with the process taking on average 18-24 hours to complete. Paint correction can often eliminate the need for a expensive re-spray and often restore’s the paintwork to a level that is above the original factory finish.
After our paint correction process you will notice that light will be perfectly reflected and the colour of the vehicle is greatly enhanced leaving a breathtaking finish.

Most dealership’s offer poor quality protection packages (Supaguard, Diamondbrite, Autoglym Lifeshine and Gard X to name a few) that cost £400+ with bold claims that the protection will last for many years which seems convenient but it simply doesn’t represent value for money. These packages are often applied incorrectly and over poor paint finishes.
In most dealerships the valeters are given minimal time and little training in how to prepare and protect your new pride and joy. The Gtechniq Total Surface Protection package and the Swissvax Paint Protection Programme we offer is a much higher service and is designed to help protect your investment and offers fantastic value for money. Both products are recognised and developed alongside major car manufacturers such as Bentley, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz and Lamborghini.
Let us take on the preparation work and ensure that you receive your vehicle in perfect condition with the very best in protection. You can relax in the thought that your car will be prepared for you by a trained and fully licensed professional detailer with all his time dedicated to your car only with no deadlines to meet.
Every area of your vehicle will be prepared and protected including the alloy wheels, interior and engine bay. Paintwork will undergo a multi-stage decontamination process and will receive a single stage machine with a finishing polish to increase gloss and remove any fine swirl marks or imperfections caused by the PDI process ensuring the paintwork is perfect before protecting it. Inside, the carpets and mats are protected with a fabric protectant, and leather upholstery is sealed to minimize dirt build up and dye transfer from clothes.
The work can be completed at the dealership before you collect or arranged to be carried out after collection.
