Paint Correction

Paint correction is a professional machine polishing process 
that permanently removes swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, 
and paint defects from your vehicle’s clear coat. Unlike temporary fillers or quick dealership buffing, true car paint correction 
safely refines the paint surface to restore deep gloss, clarity, 
and mirror-like reflections.

Over time, even well-maintained vehicles develop imperfections 
that dull their appearance. Our professional paint correction 
service in Melbourne restores your paintwork to its true 
potential — revealing richer colour, sharper reflections, 
and a flawless finish.

What Our Paint Correction 
Service Removes

Every vehicle is carefully inspected under professional lighting to assess paint condition and determine the correct level of correction required.

We safely eliminate common paint defects such as:

01.

Fine swirl marks caused by 
improper washing and drying

02.

Light, moderate, and deeper 
clear coat scratches

03.

Oxidation and UV fading from 
harsh Australian sun exposure

04.

Buffer trails, haze, 
and marring

05.

Damage caused by 
automated car washes

Our Professional Machine Polishing Process

We use industry-leading RUPES polishing systems and premium SONAX 
compounds (free from fillers or thinning agents) to ensure genuine, long-lasting results.

Depending on your vehicle’s condition, we offer:

01.

Single-Stage Paint Correction

Ideal for newer vehicles or light defects.

Removes minor swirl marks and surface haze while significantly increasing gloss and clarity.

02.

Multi-Stage Paint Correction

A comprehensive restoration process designed to correct heavier imperfections, deeper scratches, oxidation, and severe swirling. This method delivers a dramatically enhanced, high-gloss, near-flawless finish.

Our correction process safely levels the clear coat to permanently remove defects — not hide them.

Why Paint Correction Matters

Professional paint correction:

01.

Restores deep colour 
and paint clarity

02.

Produces sharp, mirror-like 
reflections

03.

Enhances overall vehicle 
appearance

04.

Increases resale 
value

04.

Removes years of accumulated 
paint damage

05.

Creates the perfect foundation 
for ceramic coating application

If you're investing in a ceramic coating, paint correction ensures you are sealing in a flawless surface — not locking in imperfections.

Do Brand-New Cars Need Paint Correction?

Yes — even brand-new vehicles often require paint correction before protection is applied.

New cars frequently arrive with:

01.

Swirl marks from dealership washing

02.

Light scratches from factory transport

03.

Holograms or buffer marks from pre-delivery prep

04.

Surface contamination from shipping and storage

Without correction, these defects prevent the paint from achieving maximum gloss 
and clarity. A professional new car paint correction ensures your vehicle looks exceptional from day one and provides the ideal base for ceramic coating protection.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the difference between polishing and paint correction?

Paint correction involves a multi-stage process that permanently removes surface imperfections, whereas polishing often only masks or temporarily hides defects.

Can you remove all scratches from my car?

We can remove or significantly reduce most light scratches and swirl marks. However, deeper scratches that go beyond the clear coat may require touch-up or repainting.

Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?

Definitely. Applying ceramic coating after paint correction helps lock in the flawless finish and protects it from future damage for years to come.

How long does it take?

At Nightshine, we combine precision workmanship with high-end products and a client-first mindset. Every vehicle — whether it's a daily driver or a supercar — receives the same level of care, detail, and excellence. Our services go beyond one-off transactions; we build long-term relationships and provide expert aftercare support to keep your car at its best.

 How long does the process take?

Depending on the condition of the paint and level of correction required, the process can take between four to eight hours or be completed over multiple sessions.
