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 Havelock North Owners Book Bay For Paint Correction

Paint correction is machine polishing, done carefully panel by panel, to take swirls, haze and wash marks out of the clear coat. On dark paint the difference is obvious the moment the sun hits it. It is quoted car by car because every paint is different, and Niah and Ben do the work at your home, wherever you are between the Village and the slopes of Te Mata Peak.

Plenty of Havelock North cars are well kept but have been washed the quick way for years, and dark paint shows every swirl in low evening light. Before anything is polished, Niah and Ben inspect the paint with you and are straight about what correction will improve. The quote is for your car, and corrected paint is the right base if you want a ceramic coating on top.

How Havelock North Is Served

Niah and Ben come to your driveway in the Village, up the hill roads toward Te Mata Peak or out on a lifestyle block. Send an enquiry, and you hear back from Niah or Ben to set a day that works around you.

Living Under Te Mata Peak

Dust Off The Peak Tracks

The walking tracks on Te Mata Peak send dry dirt home on shoes and gear. It works into the carpet and the boot liner, where a household vacuum barely reaches.

Long Summers On Open Driveways

Hawke's Bay is one of the sunniest parts of the country. A car that lives outside on a Havelock North driveway takes that UV most days, and the paint and trims show it first.

Vineyard Roads And Fine Scratches

Gravel drives and vineyard roads below the peak coat a car in fine dust. Wiped off dry, it leaves light scratches that build into swirls you only notice in low 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.
