Deep gloss. Clean reflections.
Professional swirl mark removal, machine polishing and paint refinement for vehicles that deserve a sharper, deeper and cleaner finish. Based in Frankton, Hamilton — serving Waikato enthusiasts, daily drivers, show cars and premium vehicles.
Remove the haze between your paint and true gloss.
Paint correction is the process of safely refining the clear coat to reduce swirl marks, wash marring, oxidation, light scratches, holograms and dullness.
Over time, even well-kept vehicles lose clarity from incorrect washing, dealership preparation, automatic car washes, towel marks and environmental contamination. Autoproject’s paint correction process restores depth and reflection by carefully measuring, polishing and refining the paint surface.
Every vehicle is inspected first so we can recommend the right level of correction. Some vehicles only need a gloss enhancement, while darker or heavily marked paint may need a minor or major correction to achieve the finish you want.
Swirl mark removal

We focus on clean workmanship, realistic expectations and proper preparation — not rushed polishing or hidden fillers.
Inspection before recommendation
Every vehicle is different. Paint hardness, clear coat condition and previous polishing history all affect what can be safely achieved.
Correction before coating
A ceramic or graphene coating locks in the finish underneath. That is why the paint must be properly cleaned, refined and prepared first.

Paint correction questions.
These are common questions from Hamilton and Waikato customers before booking paint correction.
Does paint correction remove all scratches?
Paint correction can remove or reduce many clear coat defects, swirl marks, oxidation, haze and light scratches. Deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat may not be safely removable and may need touch-up or repainting.
How do I know which correction package I need?
The best way is an in-person inspection. Lightly marked vehicles may only need a paint enhancement, while darker or heavily swirled paint may need minor or major correction.
Should I ceramic coat after paint correction?
Yes, if you want the corrected finish to be easier to maintain. Ceramic or graphene coating helps protect the refined paint and improves water behaviour, slickness and washing ease.
How long does paint correction take?
Most paint correction jobs take one to three days depending on the package, vehicle size and condition. Larger or more detailed work may take longer.
Can new cars need paint correction?
Yes. New vehicles can still have dealership wash marks, transport marks, water spots or light defects. A light correction before coating helps create a cleaner finish.
