Your vehicle’s paintwork does more than make a first impression—it reflects how well it’s been cared for. Over time, exposure to the elements, poor washing techniques, and general wear can cause swirl marks, scratches, and dullness that rob your car of its shine. That’s where paint correction comes in.
At Mat’s Detailing in Hamilton, we offer three expertly crafted paint correction packages designed to suit everything from lightly used daily drivers to high-end show cars. Whether you're looking to enhance gloss or erase years of damage, our Minor, Major, and Showroom packages deliver stunning, tailored results.
Let’s explore each package in detail to help you find the perfect fit for your vehicle—and understand how it pairs with premium options like ceramic coating and paint protection film for ultimate longevity.
Minor Paint Correction – Restore Light Gloss and Clarity
If your vehicle is relatively new or only lightly affected by paint imperfections, our Minor Paint Correction Package is an ideal choice. This service is designed for vehicles with minimal swirl marks, faint micro-marring, and light blemishes caused by regular use and improper washing techniques.
The process begins with a thorough hand wash and surface decontamination to remove bonded contaminants like tar, sap, and iron deposits. From there, we carry out a single-stage machine polish using a combination of polishing pads and finishing compounds that gently refine the clear coat. The goal is to enhance gloss and eliminate surface haze without the need for aggressive correction.
This package is perfect for newer cars that just need a light refresh, or as a prep step before applying a ceramic coating, ensuring that the paint is clean and clear before sealing it with long-lasting protection. After treatment, your car will have an instantly brighter finish, more vibrant colour depth, and a noticeably smoother feel to the touch.
Major Paint Correction – Eliminate Moderate Paint Defects
For vehicles showing more noticeable signs of wear—such as deeper swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and holograms—the Major Paint Correction Package offers a deeper level of refinement. This option is ideal for cars that have never been corrected before, or that have suffered from years of washing damage and exposure to the elements.
The process begins much like the Minor Package, with a complete wash, decontamination, and clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants. We then move into a two-stage machine polishing process. The first stage uses a compound and cutting pad to remove medium to heavy defects. The second stage involves a refining polish that restores clarity, depth, and gloss to the paint surface.
The Major Correction is a transformative service. Not only does it significantly improve the appearance of your car, but it also serves as the perfect foundation for further paint protection. Whether you’re planning to apply ceramic coating or paint protection film, starting with corrected paint ensures that the finish underneath will remain flawless for years to come.
This package is popular among owners who want to fall in love with their car again—especially if they’ve never seen it in its true, unblemished state.
Showroom Paint Correction – The Ultimate Finish
The Showroom Paint Correction Package is our most intensive and refined offering. Tailored for perfectionists, enthusiasts, and luxury car owners, this multi-stage process is designed to deliver the highest possible finish quality.
This isn’t just a detail—it’s a transformation. Vehicles that undergo the Showroom Correction process receive hours of meticulous paint analysis and refinement. After an extensive decontamination process and prep, our technicians inspect the vehicle under specialised lighting to map out all visible imperfections. Using advanced techniques, we carefully level the clear coat through multiple stages of machine polishing, gradually working from a heavier cut to ultra-fine finishing.
This package is capable of removing deep swirl marks, oxidation, minor scratches, water spots, and sanding marks, revealing a true mirror finish that surpasses factory standards. It's ideal for show cars, exotic vehicles, or any car that deserves absolute perfection. For owners preparing for high-end ceramic coatings or entering their vehicles into car shows, this service ensures the paint is flawless before any protective layers are applied.
The Showroom Package not only revives your vehicle but elevates it. You’ll leave with paintwork that’s jewel-like in appearance—rich in depth, highly reflective, and protected against future wear with optional ceramic coating add-ons.
Why Paint Correction Matters in Hamilton
Hamilton’s mix of rural roads, variable weather, and UV exposure can quickly take a toll on your vehicle’s paint. Even cautious owners who regularly clean their cars can find their paintwork marred by the smallest of actions—rubbing a dirty towel, automated car washes, or even driving through roadworks.
That’s why professional paint correction is more than cosmetic. It:
Restores resale value by returning your paint to near-new condition
Prepares the surface for ceramic coating or PPF, ensuring better bonding and longevity
Enhances pride of ownership, especially for vehicles you plan to keep long-term
Protects your investment, particularly for high-end or collectible cars
