Every vehicle is assessed first so Levi can recommend the right level of correction. Some paintwork may only need a light machine polish, while more faded or marked finishes may benefit from a cut and polish or multi-stage paint correction to reduce swirl marks, micro scratches and dullness in the clear coat.

Common Paint Correction Issues We Improve

Paint correction can improve a range of surface marks and paint defects that make your vehicle look dull, faded or tired. The right process depends on the condition of the paint, the depth of the marks and the finish you’re hoping to restore.

Dull Paint

Paintwork that has lost gloss, depth and shine from age, weather and everyday exposure.

Faded Paint

Sun-affected paint that looks tired, flat or washed out compared to the original colour and finish.

Swirl Marks

Fine circular marks in the clear coat, often visible in sunlight or under bright lighting.

Micro Scratches

Light Oxidation

Oxidised paint that has started to look chalky, cloudy or faded from sun and weather exposure.

Hazy Paintwork

Paintwork that looks cloudy, flat or unclear instead of glossy and reflective.

Light scratches in the clear coat that can make the paint look hazy, dull or marked.

Paint Correction Process

Paint correction is more than a quick polish. Depending on the condition of the paint, Levi can use professional machine buffing, cut and polish techniques, and staged correction to improve dullness, fading, swirl marks and micro scratches in the clear coat.

Some vehicles may only need a light single-stage correction to improve gloss and clarity. More marked or weathered paintwork may benefit from a two-stage or three-stage correction process to refine the finish further.

Every vehicle is assessed before work begins so the right approach can be recommended. The goal is to improve the appearance of the paintwork while protecting the integrity of the clear coat.

Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating in Perth

Once the paint has been corrected, ceramic coating can be applied to help protect the finish and make the vehicle easier to maintain. It adds a protective layer over the paintwork, helping improve gloss, water behaviour and resistance to everyday contaminants.

For best results, ceramic coating is usually applied after the paint has been properly cleaned and corrected. This helps lock in a cleaner, glossier finish rather than sealing over dull paint, swirl marks or surface imperfections.

Levi can assess your vehicle and let you know whether paint correction, ceramic coating, or a combination of both is the best option for the result you want.

Added Paint Protection

Enhanced Gloss

Easier Washing

Ceramic coating helps protect corrected paintwork from everyday contaminants, weather exposure and general road grime.

Ceramic coating can help deepen gloss and keep the corrected finish looking cleaner, sharper and more reflective.

The coated surface helps water and dirt release more easily, making regular washing and maintenance simpler.

Paint Correction vs Paint Repair

Paint correction improves the surface finish of existing paint. It can reduce dullness, swirl marks, light micro scratches and faded appearance, but it is not the same as repainting or repairing damaged paint.

If the paint is peeling, flaking, cracked, deeply scratched or missing, it may need paint repair instead of paint correction. Levi can assess the condition of the vehicle and recommend whether paint correction or paint repair is the better option.

If your paint is peeling or the clear coat is failing, see our Peeling Paint & Clear Coat Repair Perth service.
