Opted for the stage 1 detailing service for my lapiz blue Golf R and I was astonished by the results Tom provided. The car looks a grade brand new and is now protected with a 5 year coating. I would highly recommend North Detailing for anyone seeking to bring the most out of their automotive paintwork👌

Tom did a brilliant job removing the mould off the soft top of my Mini! He was very efficient, communicated really well throughout the process, and clearly knew what he was doing. Would highly recommend 🙂

Tom is a true magician! He transformed a dull and tired looking mini into a diamond looking cooper! Great detailing with his ceramic coating - highly recommended and worth every penny.

A massive thank you to Tom for carrying out a stage 2 paint correction and ceramic coating on my car, and for going the extra mile to make sure the car was in the best possible condition and to answer any questions I had. The results are absolutely incredible and I couldn't be happier!

Massive thanks to Tom! He did an incredible job detailing the interior of my 2012 Honda CR-V. The carpets, leather seats, and the whole cabin look almost brand new again. His attention to detail is second to none, especially considering the age of the car. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional finish!

What can I expect from the paint correction package?

Below you will see a 6 month old Audi Q3 comparison before and after paint correction. Even though the Audi was basically brand new, the car had swirl marks in the paint which were visible in direct light. The paint was polished with a 1-stage enhancement and then ceramic coated.

Customer was very happy with results, and the car was ready to be driven in the summer again.

Another example of paint correction on this Hyundai, before during and after you can see the extent of the swirls.

Paint enhancement, also known as a paint enhancement detail, is a professional automotive detailing process that aims to improve the appearance of a vehicle’s paintwork by enhancing its gloss, depth, and overall finish.

Paint correction is a very effective way at polishing the top clear-coat of paint on many cars and removing scratches and swirls. A 2 stage polish can usually remove around 90-95% of scratches on paint.

Sometimes it can remove all depending on the age of a car but perfection is often unattainable (and not worth it!)

This basically means one set of polishing using the same polishing pad and compound. Often called a paint enhancement, this is usually for cars that need a relatively light polish to get back to that new car paint. 

You can view more information about a paint enhancement on our blog.

As you may be able to see above, when cars are not cleaned safely they can develop scratches ans swirls in the paintwork. 

Although this may look bad, it is just damage to the top layer of clear paint that sits on-top of the base colour layer of paint on your car. 

This can be identified using a small light or torch on your paintwork and you will see swirls or scratches. See above in the before and after pictures.
