Paint and gloss

Paint correction that brings back gloss and depth

Car wash swirls, holograms and dull paint make even well-kept cars look older than they are. With machine polishing we carefully refine the paint and bring back as much gloss as its condition allows.

Paint correction

When the sunlight shows the scratches first.

Fine wash marks, dull areas and missing gloss change the way your car looks. In sunlight especially, the signs of use stand out, and looking at your own paint brings less joy.

  • Fine scratches and swirls catch your eye on every sunny drive.
  • Dull patches take the colour depth out of the paint.
  • The car looks less cared for than you would like.

How it feels afterwards

See the gloss again. Feel the joy again.

A more even finish, intense reflections and deeper colour make your car look well kept again. For that good feeling when you walk up to your car and see it shine in the light.

  • Fewer visible fine signs of use.
  • More gloss and clearer colour depth.
  • A well-kept overall look you are happy to show.
  • More joy in your own car.

Your benefits

Paint correction at AG Autopflege

  • Visibly more gloss

    Swirls and haze are reduced, and the color looks richer again.

  • Honest assessment

    We tell you beforehand what can be polished out and where the limits are.

  • A solid base for protection

    Corrected paint is the ideal base for wax, sealant or a ceramic coating.

Good to know

  • Scratches that go through the clear coat into the base coat or primer cannot be polished out. Those need a paint repair.
  • Every polish removes a little clear coat, so we work as gently as possible and only as intensively as necessary.

    Amazing experience they took us and took care of our vehicle on very short notice for PCS orders. This is the perfect place to take your car so that way the people over at the base cannot say anything about your car. They will accept it. 100% top quality

    Performed a PCS auto-detailing. They did an outstanding job including buffing out a major scuff mark. Car passed inspection with flying colors. Have already recommended them to a colleague.

FAQ

Questions about paint correction

Can every scratch be polished out?

No. Fine scratches and swirls in the clear coat can usually be reduced a lot or removed. If your fingernail catches in a scratch, it often goes deeper. We check this in person and tell you honestly what is possible.

How much does paint correction cost?

The one-step high-gloss polish costs €199. The two-step paint correction costs from €499 (small car), €599 (mid-size) and €699 (SUV / van), the intensive paint correction from €799, €899 and €1,099. All prices incl. VAT and including a hand wash and decontamination. We give you the final price after the inspection, before we start.

Is paint correction part of the Premium package?

The Premium package includes the one-step high-gloss polish, which costs €199 on its own. For swirls and scratches there is the two-step paint correction from €499, for heavily worn paint the intensive paint correction from €799.

How do I keep the paint looking good afterwards?

The gentlest option is a hand wash with clean microfiber towels. A sealant or ceramic coating adds extra protection, and we are happy to advise you on it.
