Land Rover Paint Correction
& Machine Polishing Manchester
Multi-stage paint correction restoring Land Rover finishes to factory specification. Precision polishing removing swirls, scratches and oxidation while preserving clear coat integrity.
Restoring automotive perfection
Land Rover paint systems represent the pinnacle of automotive finishing—featuring multiple layers of colour, complex metallic and pearlescent pigments and mirror-finish clear coat. Over time, even meticulous care cannot prevent swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation.
Our paint correction process employs precision machine polishing techniques calibrated specifically for Land Rover's advanced paint systems, removing imperfections while preserving clear coat thickness and factory finish characteristics.
Paint correction demands understanding of both paint chemistry and Land Rover's specific finishing methodology.

Paint correction — frequently asked questions
- How long does paint correction take?
- Single-stage enhancement requires 8–12 hours. Multi-stage full correction typically extends to 18–24 hours depending on paint condition and vehicle size. Larger models may require additional time.
- Will correction remove all scratches?
- Light to moderate scratches within the clear coat are removable. Deep scratches penetrating to base coat or primer require refinishing. We assess paint depth before correction to determine achievable results.
- How often should paint correction be performed?
- Every 18–24 months for maintained vehicles. Over-correction reduces clear coat thickness. We measure paint depth to ensure sufficient clear coat remains for future maintenance.
- Is correction safe for all Land Rover paint finishes?
- Yes. We employ finish-specific techniques for metallic, pearlescent, solid gloss and bespoke paints. Satin and matte finishes require specialised non-abrasive methods we are equipped to perform.
