Most "polishes" fill scratches with wax and glaze — they wash away within weeks. True correction levels a microscopic amount of clear coat to remove the defect permanently, then refines the surface back to a flawless finish.
We read paint depth with a gauge before we start and work under 3,000-lux inspection lighting throughout. Every panel is measured, corrected and jewelled by hand — nothing is left to chance or to guesswork.

Three levels.
Matched to the paint.
Gloss Enhancement
A single-stage polish that removes light swirls and lifts gloss — ideal ahead of a coating on a newer or well-kept car.
~60% DEFECTSTwo-Stage Correction
Compound then refine — removing the majority of swirls, holograms and wash marring for a deep, clean finish.
~85% DEFECTSConcours Correction
Multi-stage refinement and hand jewelling to the highest achievable clarity — for shows, collections and photography.
~95%+ DEFECTSWhy it comes
before coating.
A coating locks in what's underneath
Ceramic seals the surface exactly as it is. Correct the swirls first, and you're protecting a flawless finish — skip it, and you're preserving the defects for years.
Depth comes from correction, not product
The "wet look" people chase is corrected clear coat reflecting cleanly. No coating or wax can add clarity the paint itself doesn't have.
It protects resale value
A properly corrected, documented finish photographs beautifully and reassures buyers — it's one of the highest-return things you can do for a car.
Paint people
obsess over.
Black paint that was a mess of swirls now looks liquid. They showed me the paint gauge readings before and after — total transparency. Astonishing work.
They talked me out of a full correction I didn't need and did a gloss enhancement before coating instead. Honest, skilled, and the finish is unreal.
Concours correction ahead of a show and we placed first in class. The judges commented on the finish specifically. Cannot recommend LUSTRA enough.
