Paint Correction · Hastings
Dust and brush washes leave Hastings paint swirled and hazy. Niah and Ben look at your car in person and quote the correction honestly, then machine polish it at your home, work or yard.
The Package
No two paint jobs need the same amount of work, so correction is quoted on your vehicle. Send a few photos with your enquiry and Niah or Ben will tell you what is realistic.
Machine polishing that takes the swirls and dullness out of your paint, rather than filling them for a week.
Custom Quote
Set by your paint, quoted by Niah or Ben.
Related Add-Ons
Correction pairs best with protection. Niah or Ben can quote both together.
What’s Included
The paint is looked over before anything starts, so you know what can and cannot come out.
Swirls, haze and wash marks cut back with a machine polisher, a little at a time.
The finish is refined so it reflects cleanly instead of looking hazy in the sun.
Corrected paint is the right base for a ceramic coating, if you want to keep it that way.
Why Bay For Paint Correction
Hastings has a lot of hard-working vehicles, and the paint on a ute that has done a few seasons around the orchards usually tells the story. Some of that can be polished back and some of it cannot, which is why Niah and Ben inspect every car before quoting and tell you straight what to expect. Correction is machine polishing that takes out swirls, haze and wash marks, quoted for that car.
Hastings paint picks up a lot of fine dust, and how it gets cleaned off matters more than how often. Brush washes and quick wipe-downs drag it across the panels, and dark utes and SUVs end up grey with swirls. Niah and Ben check the paint with you, explain what machine polishing can take out and what it cannot, and quote the correction for that car.
How Hastings Is Served
Hastings is covered from the Spanish Mission streets of the city centre out to the orchard blocks on the plains. Niah and Ben set up at your home, your work or the yard, and you hear back from Niah or Ben to confirm a time that suits you.
Life On The Heretaunga Plains
Mud and grit from orchard rows ride in on work boots and get ground into the driver's footwell. Rubber mats help, but the carpet underneath still needs a proper clean every so often.
The plains get long hours of strong summer sun. Paint and black plastic trims that sit out in it all day fade, and the clear coat loses its depth sooner than it would under cover.
Fine orchard dust settles on paint overnight. Wiped off with a dry cloth or a duster, it acts like sandpaper and leaves the fine swirls you see on dark cars in direct sun.
01
Niah or Ben tells you what correction can realistically achieve on your car before it is booked, not after.
02
No need to leave the car anywhere. The work happens on your driveway or at your workplace.
03
Around five years of detailing experience each, and two people on the job.
04
Bay also applies professional ceramic coatings, so freshly corrected paint can be protected at the same visit.
How Correction Works
Drag the slider to machine polish the panel. Correction removes a fine layer of clear coat so the swirls go with it.
Swirls and wash marks are tiny valleys in the clear coat. They scatter light, which is why the paint looks dull even when it is clean.
Illustration, not to scale. Scratches that go through the clear coat cannot be polished out, and Niah or Ben checks the paint before any correction is quoted.
