What Is Paint Correction and Why Your Car Needs It

Is your car’s paint starting to look dull, scratched, or faded—even after a wash? You might be dealing with swirl marks, oxidation, or micro-scratches that a regular wash and wax just can't fix. That’s where paint correction comes in, a premium service that restores your car's finish to better-than-new condition.

At ST Auto Care, we specialise in premium paintwork correction and protection, helping car enthusiasts and everyday drivers bring their vehicle’s shine back to life.

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a professional detailing process that removes imperfections in your car’s paint. These include:

• Swirl marks

• Light scratches

• Water spots

• Oxidation

• Holograms from poor polishing

We use machine polishing, advanced compounds, and finishing polishes to carefully level the clear coat and eliminate visible flaws, revealing a crystal-clear, mirror-like finish.

Why Paint Correction Matters?

Australia’s climate—especially the harsh sun, salt air, and dusty roads—can quickly take a toll on your car’s paint. Even a new car can lose its gloss within months if exposed to UV rays and environmental pollutants.

Here’s what you’re up against:

• UV Damage: Accelerates fading and dullness

• Contaminants: Dust, bird droppings, and tree sap can etch into your paint

• Improper Washing: Creates swirl marks and fine scratches

Paint correction doesn’t just make your car look great—it also prepares it for long-term protection, like ceramic coating or paint protection film.

Our Premium 3-Step Paint Correction Process

At St Auto Care, we take pride in delivering showroom-quality results. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Full Paint Inspection & Decontamination

We inspect the paint under proper lighting and remove all embedded contaminants with a clay bar treatment.

2. Cutting & Polishing

Using a dual-action polisher, we cut away the dull, damaged surface layer and refine it with a polish that enhances depth and gloss.

3. Final Protection

Once corrected, we recommend applying a ceramic coating or paint sealant to lock in the shine and protect it for years to come.
