Paint Correction · Ahuriri
Salt, quick washes and a dry towel leave swirls across a lot of Ahuriri paint. Niah and Ben look at your car first, quote the correction honestly, and machine polish it where you park.
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
Light off the water around Ahuriri is bright and flat, and it shows every swirl, hazy patch and wash mark in your paint. Paint correction is machine polishing to take those defects out. How much can be removed depends on the clear coat, so Niah and Ben inspect it with you, give you an honest view and quote the job for that car. Then they do the work where you park.
Ahuriri cars get washed often because of the salt, and frequent quick washes are how swirls and wash marks start. Niah and Ben look at the paint in person, tell you honestly what machine polishing will improve, and quote the correction for your car. If a coating is the next step, corrected paint is the right base for it.
How Ahuriri Is Served
Niah and Ben come to you in Ahuriri, whether you live near West Quay, in a house by the estuary or work close to the port. They set up where the car is parked, and you hear back from Niah or Ben first to find a time that suits.
Harbour, Estuary And Port
Westshore beach is close by, and its grit comes back in shoes, towels and the boot. It works down into carpet and seat rails, where it needs more than a quick vacuum to shift.
The Ahuriri Estuary supports more than 70 species of water birds. Droppings are acidic, and baked on by summer sun they can mark clear coat if they are left for days.
Salt settles on paint most days here, so it is tempting to wipe it off. Dry wiping drags the crystals across the clear coat and leaves the fine swirls that polishing later has to remove.
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.
