SERVICES: Stage 2 Paint Correction

A stage 2 paint correction is the highest level of paint restoration we offer, it's a full multi-stage process that takes damaged, defect heavy paintwork and brings it closer to flawless than you'd believe possible. A stage 1 paint correction is improvement, a stage 2 paint correction transformation.

What Is a Stage 2 Paint Correction?

A stage 2 paint correction uses two distinct machine polishing stages to achieve what a single pass simply can't. First, a more aggressive cutting stage tackles the heavier defects deep swirl marks, more pronounced scratches, oxidation and paint haze that's gone beyond surface level. Then a finer finishing polish refines the surface, removing any marks left by the cutting stage and bringing the paintwork up to the highest possible standard.

The result is 75–85%+ defect removal, paintwork that reflects like a mirror, gloss that you can see yourself in, and a finish that makes people ask whether you've had the car resprayed.

What's Included?

Every Stage 2 paint correction with GlossLabs begins with a full decontamination wash to prepare the paintwork completely before any polishing begins. We then work through the two-stage correction process panel by panel, cutting compound first to remove defects, finishing polish second to refine the surface to its highest possible clarity and gloss.

This is a full-day process. We don't rush it, the results depend on care and attention.

What About Protection Afterwards?

After a Stage 2 paint correction your paintwork is going to be vastly transformed. Leaving it unprotected means the defects start returning the moment you drive away.

We strongly recommend following a Stage 2 paint correction with our 3 year ceramic coating — the combination gives you the best possible chance at keeping that finish locked in for years to come. That said, our  1 year ceramic coating is equally valid if you prefer to reassess annually.

We'll never pressure you into adding a coating, but if you want our honest advice, this is it.

Please note, this is a service that is often affected by conditions out of our control, such as the weather. We'll contact you if we need to reschedule.
