The process

How it's done, step by step.

The same process we follow for every car, whether it comes from Grindleford or round the corner.

  1. 01

    Engine bay, wheels and arches

    The engine bay gets a tidy and the wheels and arches are deep cleaned first, so nothing dirty gets flung onto clean paint later.

  2. 02

    Door shuts

    Door shuts are pre-washed and contact washed. They're where grime hides and they're the first thing you see when you open the car.

  3. 03

    Pre-wash

    A pre-wash goes over the whole car to break down as much dirt and grime as possible before anything touches the paint.

  4. 04

    Contact wash

    A careful hand wash removes what the pre-wash loosened, without dragging grit across the clear coat.

  5. 05

    Chemical decontamination

    Tar remover, then an iron fallout remover to dissolve the brake dust and metal particles bonded to the paint.

  6. 06

    Water spots and neutraliser

    A water spot remover takes out mineral marks, followed by a neutralising product so the surface is clean and balanced.

  7. 07

    Clay bar

    Clay lifts the last bonded contaminants, so the paint is perfectly smooth before the polisher comes out.

  8. 08

    Machine polishing

    One step for an enhancement. A cut on a microfibre pad and a medium compound step for two stage. A rotary cut, a mid step to remove the rotary trails and a refining step for three stage.

  9. 09

    Protect it (optional)

    An IPA wipe-down removes the polishing oils, then Reign's 7-year ceramic coating locks the finish in.

No. Paint correction is only done at our unit at Amalgam Park, Sheffield S9 5DL, around 14 miles from Grindleford, where the car stays clean and dry and we can light the paint properly. Deep cleans, valets and maintenance washes we'll happily do at your home in Grindleford.

Will paint correction remove every scratch?

No, and anyone who promises 100% is guessing. We aim for up to 50%, 65–75% or 80–90% defect removal depending on the package. Scratches that go through the clear coat can be improved but not always removed, and we'll point those out before we start.
