Paint Correction – Custom Car Care Wagga
Paint correction is the professional process of removing imperfections from a vehicle’s paintwork using advanced machine polishing techniques. Rather than masking defects with waxes or sealants, this process permanently improves the surface. As a result, gloss, depth, and clarity are restored—often leaving the paint looking better than it did when the vehicle was first delivered.
Common Paint Defects We Address
Over time, paintwork can suffer from a range of issues, including:
- Swirl marks and wash-related scratches
- Water spots and mineral etching
- Bird dropping and insect damage
- Tree sap residue
- Acid rain marks
- Holograms and buffer trails caused by poor polishing
Many car washes and less experienced detailers rely on fillers to hide damage temporarily. However, these products wash away within weeks. At Custom Car Care Wagga, we focus on true paint refinement, not short-term cover-ups. Once defects are corrected, they are removed from the surface -not hidden.
After the refinement process is complete, we’ll explain how to care for your vehicle properly. Alternatively, we can manage the upkeep for you through scheduled maintenance services.
Level 1 Correction & Refinement
From $650 AUD
1 day minimum
This service improves gloss and clarity while reducing moderate surface defects. It is ideal for:
- New vehicles with light imperfections
- Well-maintained cars
- Used vehicles being prepared for sale
- Faded or oxidised paint
Level 2 Correction & Refinement
From $1100 AUD
1–2 days minimum
This is our most popular refinement option. It targets more visible defects, such as:
- Light water spot etching
- Swirl marks and holograms
- Light to medium scratches
For darker colours and high-gloss finishes, this stage delivers a near-flawless result. This stage also forms the minimum preparation included with all ceramic coating installations.
Level 3 Correction & Refinement
From $1500 AUD
3 days minimum
This is our most intensive refinement process and is suited to vehicles with heavily neglected or weathered paint. By removing the highest level of correctable defects, it delivers the best finish possible.
As such, this option is recommended for vehicles requiring major restoration or for owners with the highest expectations.
