What’s Included

What Paint Correction Involves

  • Paint Check

    The paint is looked over before anything starts, so you know what can and cannot come out.

  • Machine Polishing

    Swirls, haze and wash marks cut back with a machine polisher, a little at a time.

  • Refining For Gloss

    The finish is refined so it reflects cleanly instead of looking hazy in the sun.

  • Ready To Protect

    Corrected paint is the right base for a ceramic coating, if you want to keep it that way.

Why Bay For Paint Correction

Why Hastings Owners Book 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

Work Boots On The Carpet

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.

Open Sun Across Flat Country

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.

Dust That Sits On The Paint

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

Honest About Your Paint

Niah or Ben tells you what correction can realistically achieve on your car before it is booked, not after.

02

Done At Your Place

No need to leave the car anywhere. The work happens on your driveway or at your workplace.

03

Experienced Hands

Around five years of detailing experience each, and two people on the job.

04

Protection Ready

Bay also applies professional ceramic coatings, so freshly corrected paint can be protected at the same visit.

How Correction Works

Level The Clear Coat, Bring Back The Gloss

Drag the slider to machine polish the panel. Correction removes a fine layer of clear coat so the swirls go with it.

REFLECTIONCLEAR COATCOLOURPRIMERPANEL

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.
