Southern's paintwork correction stage 2
Price from £400.

This service will be for vehicles that need more focused paint correction removing 80-90% of swirls and marks as a result of poor maintenance and environmental impact etc.

This includes a two-stage machine polish needing more pads, more products, and a final refinement stage which should have the vehicle's paintwork back to a glossy finish before the coatings are applied. This service usually takes our team most of the day to carry out.

      WASH & DECONTAMINATION.​

• The vehicle is initially pre-rinsed to remove any light dirt etc.

• Wheel barrels and faces deep cleaned removing iron deposits with non-acidic cleaners (Bilt Hamber Auto wheel) and soft brushes. 

• Inner wheel arches jet washed ensuring any built-up dirt is removed.

• The vehicle is pump sprayer soaked in our formula of special cleaners to start the decontamination stages.

• The vehicle is then deep soaked in Bilt Hamber touchless snow foam to break down any leftover road grime, tree sap, bird mess, bugs, etc. This is an essential stage of our safe wash process.

• Soft detailing brushes and APC are used on window rubbers, fuel filler, and intricate areas for extra dirt removal.
