Paint Correction Sunshine Coast · Corbould Park Studio
Surface specialists. Refinement experts. This is our thing.
Paint correction is one of Quantum Detail's signature disciplines. Single-stage refinement through to multi-stage correction and targeted wet sanding, with every step decided by the paint in front of us.

This is where we do our best work.
Paint correction isn't just another line on the menu. Defect removal, wet sanding, finish refinement and coating preparation are core disciplines here, using professional systems chosen for the actual paint, not a generic package recipe.
See what each level actually removes.
Swirls only show up under a direct light, which is why we correct under studio lighting. Watch the left side get corrected, then polish the right side yourself. Each level stops where it typically does, so you'll see exactly what you're paying for.
Swirls out and deep scratches reduced, then refined so the reflection is clean.
When polishing isn't enough. We go deeper.
This Discovery 4 needed a full multi-stage correction, including targeted wet sanding where isolated defects needed more than machine polishing alone. Separate cutting and refining stages then brought clarity and gloss back into the finish.
The right level. No more, no less.
Cut & Polish
- Decon wash, iron + clay
- Single machine cut + polish
- Short-term sealant
Single Stage
- Decon wash, iron + clay
- One-step cut-and-finish machine correction
- Paint depth measured at multiple points
- Sealant + final inspection under lighting
Multi-Stage
- Decon wash, iron + clay
- Dedicated heavy cutting stage
- One or more refining stages
- Paint depth measured throughout
Ranges are typical and depend on paint condition, hardness and history. Targeted wet sanding is assessed individually and quoted separately. Weekend bookings: Saturday +15%, Sunday +25%.
Premium products. Used with judgement.
Labocosmetica sits at the core of our correction and coating-prep workflow. Premium products give us more control over cut, refinement and finish, but the real difference is knowing when to use what.
AUDACE
For paint that genuinely needs stronger defect removal. Pad, machine and product are matched to the panel, never applied by default.
LEALE
A versatile polish that balances defect removal with finish quality across a wide range of paint systems.
FIERO
Final clarity, gloss and coating preparation, leaving the surface refined and ready for protection.
Refinement is also knowing when to stop.
Every correction pass removes a little clear coat, and clear coat doesn't grow back. Previous repairs, thin or soft clear and unusual paint behaviour all change the plan. Try it: pick a scenario and add correction passes.
Illustration, not to scale. Real readings vary by car and panel.
More correction is not always better correction.
Our job isn't to keep polishing until every mark disappears. It's to understand the surface, achieve the best safe result and preserve the integrity of the paint. Sometimes the most skilled decision a correction specialist makes is to stop.
Inspect. Correct. Refine. Protect.
Wash + decontaminate
Road film, iron fallout and bonded contamination are removed. We never cut contaminated paint.
Measure + assess
Paint depth readings and a test section decide the pads, products and how far to go.
Correct + refine
Machine correction under studio lighting, then refining as the level requires.
Protect
Sealant as standard, or straight into a Gtechniq ceramic coating while the surface is perfect.
Different car. Same obsession with clarity.
A separate correction job on an AMG: different paint, different defects and a different plan, with the same goal. Remove what can be corrected safely and leave the surface cleaner, sharper and more reflective.
Correction + ceramic coating.
Correction creates the finish. A Gtechniq coating helps it last, with stronger chemical resistance and far easier washing.
CSL Correct & Coat
Two-stage correction followed by Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light.
CSU Correct & Coat
Two-stage correction followed by Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, up to 9 years*.
Corrected cars. Real reviews.
Straight answers.
Paint correction is machine polishing that permanently reduces or removes defects such as swirl marks, wash marring, haze and light to moderate scratches by carefully levelling the clear coat. It doesn't use fillers to hide defects.
Single stage uses one cut-and-finish machine pass and typically achieves 50 to 65 percent defect reduction. Multi-stage separates a heavy cutting stage from one or more refining stages and typically achieves 80 to 90 percent, depending on paint condition and hardness.
No. Some scratches are deeper than the clear coat that can be removed safely. We measure paint depth throughout and will not over-thin the paint to chase a defect. We discuss realistic outcomes before work begins.
Single stage is $699 for a small car, $749 for a standard car and $849 for 7-seaters and oversized vehicles. Multi-stage is $1,099, $1,299 and $1,499. Targeted wet sanding is quoted separately, and weekend bookings carry a surcharge.
Single stage is a full studio day of around 8 hours. Multi-stage is around 10 hours of work. All correction is done at our Corbould Park studio, and we confirm drop-off and collection when you book.
It's the ideal time, because the surface is already prepared and refined. If you plan to coat, our Correct & Coat packages include two-stage correction plus Gtechniq CSL or CSU and are usually better value than booking them separately.
Refinement is our signature.
Single stage, multi-stage, targeted wet sanding or coating preparation. If the finish matters, this is where Quantum Detail does its best work.
